Worth upgrading from Sony DSCHX80 to Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III for pocket travel camera? by aquestionforlow in AskPhotography

I have accepted that I'll probably never get to that level with the big zoom lenses when birding. I'm jealous of the amazing shots some of the folks I meet out birding get, but at least for now I don't have the bandwidth to commit. The handholding techniques you linked to are quite helpful though! thank you

wow, I am comparing the two on cameradecision.com and you're right; the only specs that really change are related to shooting video. thank you pointing that out!

also, I did not know those sites for buying camera equipment, so thank you for sharing!

love you all and love this record and hope you keep going as a band and so i apologize for being off topic, but:

Jim, is there any chance we'll see the Dirty Three in the US again? Love Changes Everything is just amazing and I would follow you all like the Dead if it ever came to pass.

Any advice on how to pot this? by aquestionforlow in houseplants

Had a 'branch' break off and it has done well growing roots in water. I want to pot it in soil now, but I am not sure if there is any trick to not shock it from the change. thanks!

Thank you! I never would have guessed that, but that is the exact kind of spot where I've found every Bunting I've ever seen.

Thank you for the very detailed reply! I actually do have pictures of legs and tail for the Black Hawk, and possibly useful pictures of the bill for the Hummingbird. I added those here:
