Taken the camera... I would say this was shot with a 75-300mm canon telephoto? I have one and it's horrible past 200mm. I personally enjoy #1 but none of the pictures would be likely to get past FPC. The sharpness that's required is just not there. victorrocha (talk) 22:20, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also may be that it was probably shot wide open (F 5.6) which hurts sharpness with most lenses. Also at 300mm (max zoom I presume) at 1/80th of a second even VR lenses can be hard to get crisp shots. I think there is some motion blur due to camera shake - Peripitus (Talk) 12:34, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
