Canon PowerShot SX70 HS
VerifiedMPN: SX70HS3 reviews
Good for amateur bird photography – High zoom (1350mm equivalent) makes it good for identification purposes at home. Reasonably light and compact. Can't charge battery in situ; android transfer app is currently useless, so you need to use a cable for transfer to a PC; not good at low light; relatively inexpensive at several hundred dollars.

photo to "poster size" without pixelation - A4 is fine. Am yet to try "tracking" or many features and using all automatic setting. Suits my needs for at home bird identification.

I have been super satisfied with SX60. Unfortunately, it was broken down just two months ago after being used for nearly 4 years. Naturally I bought SX70 straight away.

start shooting. The videos are very good. The zoom exceeded my expectations.
The only negatives I have is they have removed the hot shoe, but that's no biggie for me as I never used the hot shoe on any of my previous models.
Video uploading to my pc via a USB cable using the import pictures function of Windows 7 isn't working properly, I have found if I copy paste the videos, it works no problem.
