Small birds like this Cardinal can be challenging to capture even with a long, fast lens. The Nikon 1 V1 with the 70-300mm lens allows for a 810mm effective focal length; long, not so fast at f5.6, but a very sharp lens. Still, it takes some practice to get a tack sharp image shooting handheld on a walkabout. I’ll keep trying…
