RE: Perhaps my best photos of this sunbird.

Wow! Marian just told me that you have the same problem that I have. Imagine tracking an Eagle in clear sight coming over from far away, in a clear sky, and as he gets close you know that it's going to be an exceptional photo. Then, as you click, the camera shuts down with that dreaded #replace the battery" signal. Then you fumble in your bag for a charged battery, keeping your eyes on the bird, and by the time that you load the new battery, the bird is gone 🥴

So, I know exactly how you felt, and I am also addicted to Canon 😉 !LOLZ

I remember that we have been talking about that a while ago and I didn't think this could ever happen to me, because as soon as the battery symbol turns red, I replace the battery ... usually I do, and in future I will not forget, hopefully 😂 !LOLZ

I have started with Canon and I will end with Canon 😉

Ah yes! Thanks for reminding me and I know that you will get many more flat battery warnings 😜 !LOLZ

If Canon stops the Powershot range, then I will be forced to look elsewhere. So I pray that they will release a new model 🙏

Cheers and thanks.

Oh yes, sadly I believe you are very right, my friend 👍 Because I shoot birds in burst mode, the battery dies within minutes instead of within a day when I shoot landscapes 😆 !LOLZ

If Canon stopped producing cameras, I think I would switch to a Olympus Micro Four Thirds camera. About 15 or so years ago I had such a DSLR for a while because it was way cheaper than the Canon that I wanted, and it was a great camera, but after a couple of years I had the money, sold the Olympus and switched back to Canon 😁

Same as you, I get very agitated when I lose a perfect shot with a flat battery. Maybe one day they will invent cameras with no batteries 😉 !LOLZ

I don't know Olympus, but if you say that they are good, then I know that they are good. When Marian's uncle died, he left me a case filled with a Konicka camera and many lenses. The case is at rest on our bookshelf, as the Canon has spoilt me. My first was a used PowershotSX450, that I bought in 2002, in order to take shots of our charity work, but then Mother nature invited me, and I had to get a bigger Canon. Eventually I bought a new SX60, and it was my best camera. They replaced it with the current model, SX70, and I was very sad, as the SX60 was much better 🥴

... or you have a solar panel on your hat that continuously recharges the battery ... unless it's raining 🤣 !LOLZ

Olympus DSLRs and mirrorless cameras have a smaller sensor than the APS-C cameras, but they make great images, are relatively cheap, compared to Canon, Nikon and Sony, and foremost they are so much smaller than all the others. So, when I get older and don't want to carry so much weight anymore, I might change my Canon system to an Olympus camera system 😉

Congratulations are in order. First the magnificent Piber waterfall shots, and then to crown them with a little feeding bird. Wonderful pictures my friend and thank you for showing me 🤗

Cheers and thanks.
