The ability to crop is an economical alternative to an expensive long lens. Perhaps its not quite the same but its somewhat equivalent at a fraction of the cost.

It may not be appropriate for all types of photography but its certainly applicable to birding.

The first image was shot at 200mm...then cropped to produce the second image.

A7R4 and 70-200G f4 @ f4.

I often crop photos. Birding on a tripod can be challenging. Personally, I have returned 2 long lenses due to weight and size. I tend to use my Tamron 16 to 300 on an older Nikon. The D7100. Your photo is lovely.

Cropping can also get a couple/few other compositions out of a shot, depending on how wide and the subject.

Great shot ! ......this is also the main idea behind using Sony's Clear Image Zoom - especially on lower MP cameras... and why I keep recommending to get CLOSER if possible but when not, maximize your image quality and CROP - instead of using LONG, HEAVY, EXPENSIVE lenses - OR extenders.

Very, very nice. Beautiful and tack sharp. Not familiar with the A7R4. What makes it a good camera to get great crops from?

But, you need good glass to crop this much

Holy cow! I was proud of my 46mp D850. And, yes, I know good glass is part of the picture as well.

60 Mp and a great piece of glass = success. Good work!
