Taken hand held, well OK I was leaning on a fence post, with a little canon Sx 520Hs.
and @ 84x digital zoom ( what ever that means)
Nonetheless I'm still impressed with the capabilities of the little powershot.

That's amazing for hand held Chris, pretty damn good under any circumstances.

Cheers Chris, and for a little point and shoot, I think the detail is pretty amazing too.

Absolutely

84x digital zoom ( what ever that means)

The lens is 24mm with 42x optical zoom (24-1008mm) and 4x digital zoom (cropping). I'm guessing it means taken at 1008mm (42x zoom) and cropped to 50% (2x digital zoom).

It's better than my disease ridden Sigma 600. I don't know if it can be cleaned though.

Thanks for that

Terrific shot, never mind from a dinky cam!

Excellent capture and proves you do not have to spend a fortune to get good results.
(Been looking for a camera for my elderly father and will add this to my shopping list)

Cheers
I've had it about a year or so, I just carry it around in the van, "just in case"
I've been very happy with all the results, (it has a great little macro function too).

Cracking shot, and even better with it being a P&S camera, love my little Lumix one

Cheers Dave, and as above these little P/S are so capable these days, perhaps I should save myself a fortune and flog all my Canon DSLR stuff

Plus as you will know, the macro on these can be pretty amazing too

I really couldn't believe the detail the first time I tried the macro function
