Yes, I want to buy both the Sony A9 AND the Nikon D850 so I can take better pictures. Which ever one I choose, I will give the other one to my 7 year old grandson. He likes taking pictures too! I am leaning toward the Sony because with the Nikon, you have to buy a battery grip in order to get 9fps. How stupid is that? The Sony shoots at 12fps without one. My dilemma is this; most people on UHH poo-poo the EVF that Sony uses because they say it's not real. Well, we watch television, don't we? I wonder what lens I should get? And if I go on a trip, can I still take either one as carry on if I travel by air? After all, they are big! And what should I shoot at when I get there?
Here is an example of what I am talking about. My camera only has a 26.5 mp APS-C sensor. I shot this photo with a stock lens and I was about 259 yards away. I had to enlarge and crop this picture just to see these egrets at all. Is photoshop a good program for this sort of thing or, am I just wasting my money It costs me about $11.00 a month with tax. I guess I could spend that money at Starbucks instead.
I have never seen this many egrets together before.

Funny but I thought the same thing. I had better go and check my birding book just to make sure. I did have 2 beers tonight with Pizza.

Yes, Geese! You might want to lay-off drinking the used Dektol a bit! If similar to a Heron - That mistake would be forgivable.

You would be wasting your money at Starbucks.

Unless they are serving something strongly alcoholic which is what the OP seemed to be on. Though as suggested Dektol, D76, HC-110 might do it too. The latter barfing anyway.

Those aren't egrets. They are most definitely the rare feathered reticulated python. It' s really easy to tell the difference by looking at their necks - much shorter necks than the egrets. Are you off your meds again?
I think its either an African or European swallow.

Astute observation millman221... can you explain to me how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes?
