Our time together was relatively short (about two and a half years), but I had lots of photos to show for it. That Baltimore Oriole was a special treat. Just minutes before that, we'd been talking about how we hadn't seen one in ages. :)Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-54258706993885336822013-04-20T16:02:49.577-04:002013-04-20T16:02:49.577-04:00Linda, this is a beautiful set of photos, it would...Linda, this is a beautiful set of photos, it would be hard to choose just one as the best. I love the Baltimore Oriole and the dragonfly, it's amazingly sharp.<br /><br />It's a great idea to go walking with your friend, both of you having your new cameras in hands!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-59954440502342289822013-04-16T16:34:57.855-04:002013-04-16T16:34:57.855-04:00Thanks, Hilary.

I've loved the SX20, but Pat seems thrilled with it; so that makes parting with it easier. And I'm so looking forward to working with the new one. It's supposed to be delivered tomorrow!Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-70275087316002015332013-04-16T15:37:23.826-04:002013-04-16T15:37:23.826-04:00Wonderful shots, Linda.

I hated not being able to fall back on my PowerShot once I moved on to the DSLR but I had little choice in that matter.. the darn thing stopped recognizing that it had full batteries. Cameras keep getting better and better. You're going to have a blast with your new one. And I read what you responded to Gail. It's even more fun going out shooting together.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-21633264647104515652013-04-16T09:36:09.829-04:002013-04-16T09:36:09.829-04:00Gail - Thanks so much.

She and I plan to go walking together with cameras in hand to see what we can find. Whatever that might be, you'll probably see it here. :)<br /><br />Steve - Your "funner" made me smile. It's a good word.<br /><br />George - It just isn't fair how fast they come out with new cameras and computers and phones and such. We just bought our wonderful camcorder last year (also from BH Photo), and it's no longer available for sale anywhere but on eBay. We're so pleased with it, though, that we have no desire to "upgrade."Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-48353998835338133602013-04-16T09:10:43.803-04:002013-04-16T09:10:43.803-04:00You certainly got some great pictures with your ol...You certainly got some great pictures with your old camera, and I'm sure the new camera will give equally good results. I'm trying hard to resist the new cameras that Canon has put out since I got mine. It just seems to get harder to do each year, but I'm still resisting. I've always had good experiences with BH Photo.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923630536753873113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-39646269075574862252013-04-16T00:35:52.779-04:002013-04-16T00:35:52.779-04:00hard to give up an old one, but newer models get s...hard to give up an old one, but newer models get so much funnerOut on the prairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548162534362532705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-16228856542667550892013-04-15T23:12:15.965-04:002013-04-15T23:12:15.965-04:00Congrats on the new camera, Linda!

If your three year old model did this well, I can only imagine how well the newer model will perform. Yay for new equipment! When I first bought my dslr 5 years ago, I, too, thought it would be the last camera I'd ever own. I've upgraded twice since then. :/ I'm so jealous of the belted kingfisher shot! :)Gail Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697820311332653232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-7422750506112375222013-04-15T22:28:30.936-04:002013-04-15T22:28:30.936-04:00Ruth - I looked at Stokes Birding Blog.
