I just want a camera who can take pictures of the humming birds. Would this be a good choice?

This would be a very good choice for photographing hummingbirds! According to the manufacturer the Audubon BirdCam 4 MP has a Lens Field of View of roughly 52 degrees. This camera would need to be within 8 feet of the feeders in order for the sensors to activate with the small size of the bird. 18-24" is the "sweet spot" that gives the best results. It will operate only in daylight hours, which is fine for hummingbirds. So if you are wanting a basic camera, this one will allow you to set it up and does the picture-taking for you.

Ben: I bought this camera for fpv use. It is very similar to others I am using. I have not used it yet...so I have limited feedback currently. Stan

Yes! I do a blog on fb about the little island I live on and people have noticed a difference in my pictures. I took a pic of a dragonfly up in a tree with the sony and you can count the hairs in its back. Great camera! Well worth the money.

The F19826 is fantastic I'm really pleased with it AS A CAMERA. However, it has developed a fault and Foscam are taking forever to deal with it and I've had very little communication from them. As a baby monitor....the sound quality is awful! So probably not.

I have this camera. It is the second best camera I have ever had (the best was a video-camera combo by Canon - lot more expensive),but this camera take great photos of pets, kids, evening, indoors, night - no problem anywhere and the memory card is removable so you can get unlimited Gigs of a good photo memory card.I was very happy to see that Canon still makes these, however, the selling price is the same today as I paid for this camera over 5 years ago so I would have concerns about the repair (if needed) if they d/c this model.

Definitely. I have the same camera/ lens combo. It's the best lens you can get for that camera for taking pictures of birds.

Yes I routinely take photos of birds from inside my house using the remote. I am usually about 25 feet from the subject and it works perfectly.

I have been looking into buying one of the two as well. One of my interests is birds. The have the highest zoom Nikon 36 zoom and canon 35 zoom and all in one piece. Does anyone use either for birding?Thank you!

Yes this is an awesome camera. I use it for concerts as well and it takes fabulous pictures. I wish I could share a few for you. Its light weight and the speed is awesome. Not a point and shoot. You will have make settings for each situation just like any DSLR. I love mine and intend to use it as my primary camera.

It's comparable to a DSLR camera, so depends on how you want to use it. There are lighter options available. Also, it doesn't come with a neck-strap, so you might want to invest in one.

It is a really good camera for taking shots like those. I mean it isnt a professional camera so dont expect professional pictures but it takes very clear and amazing pictures. You have to buy your own SD card though:)

I would recommend a sony camera. Have had four of them and they are great. I take more than 10,000 photos a year and am sorry I bought a canon. Thought quality would be universal in all cameras. I was wrong.

Yes, it is most definitely a great choice. I have wonderful pictures of my backyard hummers. You can even take videos of them. I have one video that shows the tongue going into the feeder. The camera is awesome and equally important is that the company has outstanding customer support, regardless if you purchase direct or via another outlet.

I though the camera was good for water pictures. Wouldn't use it for any other reason. Pic to pic time is average and once you turn it on it is ready to go.

This camera is amazing -- it probably has more computer power than your first desktop computer. It will shoot pics in virtually any mode you mentioned plus others. I haven't figured out even 20% of what it will do yet.

Hi. This Nikkon is a great camera. For nature photography you will probably need a more powerful lense or a telescope view you can buy in Amazon as well.

I use it to photograph birds and other wildlife. It's a great zoom. I highly recommend it.
