I am new to the forum and asking for help. Our granddaughter plays basketball and I would like to photograph her. I kayak and would like to photograph birds. Is the EOS 760D the camera for me? Other? What lens or lenses? How can I protect my equipment form damage from saltwater? Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Why is it so impossible to think anybody is not capabe of this. You were there at one time! I was there at one time. We all were. No time like the present to LEARN.
You're right, there IS no time like the present to learn. But I have no patience for the mentally lazy. Thus, I shall bow out from this thread henceforth.

Would a so called bridge camera like the SX60HS work for birding? I heard the head of Audubon uses one? The long focal length could be an advantage but it offers about 16 megapixels. Opinions?

What is wrong with 16 MP?
The original image was 16 MP. It has about a 50% crop. The cropped image was resized to 6000 x 4000.

The question you're asking is, "Am I willing to forego the flexibility of interchangeable lenses?" And the obvious answer is, "How should we know?"

"What is wrong with 16 MP?"
Plenty..............and maybe nothing.
Again folks don't understand mega pixels. MP is only one part of the equation. 16MP on a crop sensor vs 16MP on a FF is hardly comparable let alone on a PowerShot SX60 HS.

I like to take shots of clouds over the ocean just before sunrise. Would a 35mm prime be a good pick?

IMO, a 35mm prime is a waste of money unless it's f/2 or better. And you don't need f/2 for early morning seascapes.
