( The P900 does not shoot raw ) Lietz yes I was aware of that in the lead up to buying one, I will have to make the best of what the camera offers as is.From what I have seen of sample Jpegs it is going to be a big improvement on the Panasonic Fz72 that I had.
To jerryc41, minniev and MarkD -thanks for the response and the advise I think it makes sense to start with the auto - discover its limitations and take it from there.
Sharpshooter - " in the middle of winter rain " mmmm smiles
Thanks to you as well Larrymc I am looking forward to getting started, but as I mentioned to Sharpshooter waiting for our weather to improve. Really wish I was back in Africa with all its photo opportunity.
sharpshooter - thank you that was most helpful - when our winter (UK) is finally over and the sun is shining strongly I shall get out and about.
Hi there I am a newcomer to photography so please excuse my very evident ignorance. I have a question regarding intelligent Auto or Auto. What can I expect in terms of image quality in the use of this function particularly in the photography of birds? I am about to purchase the new Nikon p900 and would like some advise as I have not yet to learnt how to manually set a camera.
