Come on, guys. That shot of the sparrows in flight was one out of around 80
shots. Those little birds are plumb sudden. The only way I can figure out
to accomplist the shots of the small birds in flight is to catch them in the
right situation and shoot and hope. LOL Perhaps a motion detector shutter
control would work, but even then there would be a large number of throw
away shots. Of course. the F70 does not have that capability.
