Today, my wife and I went to a county park where a pair of eagles have been nesting in recent years. The authorities (*) have it carefully arranged, with a path from the back leading up to a small shelter quite some distance from the nest, so the presence of people won't cause the eagles to abandon their nest {and the fledglings in it}. My K-30 + 55-300mm lens {giving '35mm equiv' of 450mm} wasn't up to this task, but I had brought my 4.65-crop Q-7 with me, giving me '35mm equiv' of nearly 1400mm with the 300mm lens. I backed it off to a '35mm equiv' of more like 1100mm, because I wanted to show the massive nest in its entirety; when I looked at these images on my computer screen, I discover that I had also caught the "eagle cam", at the very top center of this image.

(*) the path starts in the park, but the nest and viewing shelter seem to be on property belonging to an environmental research arm of Notre Dame University.

Those Pentax Qs are pretty amazing little
mirrorless cameras.
I have the original Q, got it when it first came out. I have fun using it with my Pentax K lenses and my Pentax Auto 110 lenses.

I originally got my Q-7 for situations like this after seeing what Linda From Maine and others were able to accomplish with their SX-50's
