Thread: Image resolution in cameras used on hunting trips

Criteria used to decide what camera to buy

Over the years we’ve seen plenty of discussion here about what makes a camera a good choice for taking on hunting trips. Preferences have varied from the Nikon P1000 down to compacts like the Panasonic ZS80, and everything between. Typically cameras under discussion will be the longer focal length examples among the “bridge” cameras listed here:

Any ranking of different models will depend on the importance we each place on the various specifications, and this in turn comes down to the camera’s role when taken out. Will it be used mainly for daytime scenery shots, or for photographing game animals in low light and at distance? These might be two examples of primary purpose, determining in the inevitable trade–off of attributes what then become important considerations, and what are less so.

I would like to set up a thread here in the Photography sub–Forum that looks at just one specific aspect of camera performance. It is the one I’ve decided is the most important in my choice of camera to take hunting. I’m going to ask for members’ contributions to help quantify this aspect in the cameras they own.
