Splash two

I have captured this bird countless times using different cameras. 

So let's start with the first. Aargh. I can see the noise in the background. This was taken with a sub compact with a good zoom. A lot better than any smartphone and I am including Samsung Zoom.

Ok. This was with a bridging camera. This made the me love the output. Except that now it took relatively longer for the autofocus to capture the image. And if the lighting was bad, it could not focus.

This is when technology is at its apex. Or at least at the apex of my price point. And it is a screen capture of the actual picture. But the camera is heavier, need more patience to zoom and capture the shot.
