•  Oppose very soft, almost looks like a painting at full resolution. Can't really find the error though: ISO 320 should be fine so probably no sensor noise, focal length of 144 mm is far away from the extremes of the zoom range, doesn't look like motion blur … only thing remaining seems to be the aperture – can the DSC-HX200V really be that bad at f/5.6? --El Grafo (talk) 09:41, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I was wrong: 144 mm actually is maximum zoom (I got confused by the 35mm equivalent used but not explicitely mentioned here). It's not very surprising that a lens with such a long zoom range performs relatively weak at the long end. If I were you, next time I'd try to get as close to the bird as possible, trying to avoid having to zoom in that much. However, if viewed at smaller sizes this is still a very nice picture! --El Grafo (talk) 15:41, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
