No. Sony RX100, whichever variant you feel like shelling out for though the old ones are great. Much bigger and better sensor than this nikon. The small sensor is the main reason why this camera can achieve such a ridonkulus effective focal length with a lens that's <10 feet long. Russians also used to make fucked up telephoto lenses that were really short and used mirrors inside, but they sucked.

i read that this camera has a worse sensor than your average smartphone. i don't understand the mechanics, but apparently you would need a sensor the size of a washing machine to work as efficiently at this distance. i'm not a photomo at all but i can already tell this camera also struggles YUUGE in lowlight. however it's 180000 for wildlife because you can get really good details without being too close. but if you are max zooming on an eagle a mile away it's grainy as fuck

Yes that camera uses a smartphone sensor. Probably a good one for its intended purpose, but they're all made by Sony so whatever. The trick was in engineering a lens that could deliver a sharp image at that focal length.

The main drawback of a small sensor is going to be low light capability, and of course pixel count is restricted. The advantage is that lenses can be made exponentially smaller. The reason I recommended the Sony is because it has a big sensor and a zoom lens, and in some models the reach of that zoom is quite impressive. It's 20mp, so if you shoot a pic of a bird from far away, you can crop it and still get a good image. Your camera has a 16mp sensor, which is high native resolution for a sensor that size, so you can still crop too, though why would you? The disadvantage to zooms for wildlife photography though are that they are slow and have a lot of chromatic aberrations and shit when shot upward against the bright sky. I think you're better off with a camera that's calibrated to avoid all those issues and that gives you that big ass sensor, but no RX100 is taking a pic like that moon shot either and for $800 you can take pics I can't take with my like $15k of camera gear.

This is the best I could do with 300mm effective focal length (200mm on APS-C sensor). I don't have any decent lenses that reach further than that.

My camera has a built-in astrotracer but I haven't learned how to use it. I think with that I can sharpen up the images a big, but I'll never get higher resolution.

I thought yours was a stock photo at first because I didn't think an off the shelf kit could do that. I used to have a stock photo that looked just like that as desktop wallpaper.

I don't know if it's the angle of the sun, but yours doesn't look totally spherical, and it could well be lens distortion. You should run it through Lightroom and have it correct for that. It has profiles for all the popular consumer lenses.

What the human brain perceived as "sharpness" is actually contrast. Specifically "microcontrast." That's less useful when dealing with a fixed lens camera I guess, though I think it's useful in post processing.

Lens was made in the 1950s and costs <$150. I was able to crop that to get all the detail you see in that moon pic above. To take a picture like yours I would have to use a telescope mounted to a fixed structure, though for $500 I can get a teleconverter that gives that lens another 40% reach.

What a funny company. Its market cap is a tiny fraction of Samsung's. They are more comparable to Nintendo at this stage. They have a range of core technologies where they just rape the shit out of the competition and they are milking them dry. Right now they are the world daddy sensor manufacturer, making every digital sensor that goes into everything from $14 key fob cams to $15k (or whatever they are now) medium format, plus all these video cameras hollywood uses. Canon sometimes claims they are making their own sensors but no one believes them. They are maybe sending specs to Sony and asking them to make a sensor with certain characteristics, but you know Sony is not giving any other company the sensor in the A7 series or the RX100. They will make you buy Sony, and fortunately that's ok because they make good cameras too, with nice intuitive menu layouts and user controls, and IBIS. The only other camera manufacturer in the game is Leica with dat MONOCHROME sensor I am going to own before I die.

So at zoomed out all the way, your camera shoots at a minimum aperture of f6. Not fast, but a marvel considering the camera specs. Still, all lenses are soft wide open (especially zooms) and don't hit peak sharpness until they are stopped down two or three f-stops. In your case that means f11.

As for ISO, I would keep it at or below 1600, but play around with different ISO values while holding it constant at f11. I'm guessing it looks like shit over ISO 1600 but maybe you can clean it up in lightroom. It not only corrects lens distortion but it has denoise profiles for specific cameras, so you might shoot all the way up to ISO 6400 and see how that cleans up in lightroom vs something shot at 1600 or lower.

Anyway, holding ISO constant, try taking it down from there to f9, f8, f7.1, or whatever options the camera gives you in between f11 and f6. You can take it over f11 but I don't see the point. That camera is already going to have deep as fuck focus just because the sensor is so small. Make sure you wait a good long time before hitting the remote shutter because cameras shake for a long time after you stop touching them. On tripods some people get better results disabling shake reduction though it probably doesn't matter for that camera.

Really impressive moon shot, never even knew about that model. Doesn’t Sony have a super zoom with their 1” sensor?

I’ve toyed around with all sorts of sensor sizes, but have kind of settled (for now) on an Olympus EM1 III w/ the 12-100 (24-200 eq) f/4 lens + a 20/1.7 pancake prime. It’s small and light enough that it’s not a hassle to hike / travel with and the sensor is “big enough”, really only sacrificing that thin DOF that full frame easily achieves.

Here's the longest actual telephoto lens ever made. It's 1.2 meter focal length.

https://global.canon/en/c-museum/product/ef319.html

The lens on OP's camera has an effective focal length of 2.0 meters. I thought OP was flaming us with a stock photo and had to edit after I googled that camera.

Look at this faggot bragging about his telescope. It's that same mirror design Russians use for their telephoto lenses. It's shit. His pics suck too, they're just unique because he can get tight focus from that perspective.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAfSbNt_uYI

OP has some wackadoo camera with an actual lens. It's a $80 sensor and $700 lens. Also I was wrong OP doesn't have bad distortion, the moon is actually that shape.

I had an Olympus m4/3 camera for years that I tried to love, but lenses cost a fucking fortune so I only had a few lenses, incl. a Panasonic 20mm like that 1.7, which I never could take good pics with, and a cheap macro that stopped working a month after I got it. And now Olympus is out of the game. I had a PEN model and would have considered an OM-D model if they had stuck around, because I don't see the point in full frame. I think the different between aps-c and FF is negligible probably a net negative for the type of photography I do. Medium format sensors are a yuge jump up but full frame has too many drawbacks for me to actively seek out.

M43 is actually pretty cheap, plus you get the doubling of the effective length because of the crop sensor.

I recall the lens selection being limited and having wide variance in performance and major price discrimination between performance of the consumer and prosumer segments. You could get a usable macro for <$500 but if you wanted true 1:1 macro you needed to pay like 2x that much. Also the used lens market was not very busy and not a lot of lens makers were doing m43, so you had to use Olympus or Panasonic glass.

My current DSLR handles m42 screwmount lenses natively with a simple ring adapter. It's designed to accomodate that format specifically, so that lets me use a lot of old cheap lenses that are cumbersome to adapt to other digital cameras. I can also use bayonet mounted lenses going back to the 70s, and tons of film era lenses with fully working autofocus and shit with it. So I just put garage sale lenses on it and see what do.

Just fucking around tonight, I had this old Sigma 70-300mm zoom that I never used because it always seemed like it took pure shit pics. After the moon thread tonight I took it out to see what it could do. Too many clouds to see the moon, but this is a close crop of a pic I took on the walk back, fully zoomed in at 300mm at 800 ISO. It looks sharp as fuck and contrast is good. I'm shocked. I think I got this lens for free.

OP I forgot to mention: drop your exposure down a stop or two, then bump up it back up in Lightroom. Otherwise you'll lose detail in the bright sections. I shoot 90% of my digital photos underexposed, even (especially!) in low light.

Other things: your camera has a preset JPG mode. Select b/w or monochrome if you can. Its image processing engine might do a better job than you can do in Lightroom. Also convert your moon images to monochrome in post processing. There is absolutely no reason to have color noise. Go ahead and shoot at ISO 6400 and see if you get good monochrome results. This is a rare instance where it color noise isn't something you need to worry about.

cr advice. i actually bumped it down one notch for that shot. at normal exposure it was too bright and obscured a lot of features

i'm shooting in raw, so in theory i can make all those edits in lightroom, right? as opposed to jpeg mode, which would lock in the settings into the photo itself? not 100% i understand how that works

Your camera most likely shoots RAW+JPEG. When it creates the JPEG it uses some algorithm Nikon came up with that's specific to that camera. It's actually hard to convert color to monochrome in post processing and the camera will often do a better job.

If your camera has a JPEG mode that doesn't create RAW files at all, I wouldn't use that mode and just shoot RAW all the time. Hopefully it doesn't force you to choose one or the other. Some cameras let you do post processing in camera, so you shoot RAW, then open up the file in camera and select a post-processing option. From there, just select the monochrome pic that looks the best and see if you can beat it in lightroom.

If your camera does exposure bracketing, that's an easy way to nail exposure. Have it shoot with exposure at -1ev, -2, -3, etc for each shot. If it has that function it will take all three shots each time you press the shutter. You'll end up with 3x as many files but you might find that -3ev gets you even better results then -1 or -2, especially when you don't need color accuracy.

Many cleverly camouflaged dish antennae among those craters. Perfectly circular "impact craters" with high protrusions perfectly in the middle of those craters. How would that happen naturally?

the entire "story" of the moon doesn't even make sense

it's magically "gravity locked" so it only faces one direction (earth) instead of rotating. simple explanation, goys, no 2D plasma to see here!

also why would the side that's gravity locked to the earth (i.e., has big brother earth protecting it from asteroids) have so many PERFECTLY round craters? there would either be not that many craters near the middle, or they would be at weird sideways angles

there is fuckery afoot. the next thing i need to try and capture is a lunar wave, although that might be difficult as they appear to be pretty rare. but that is probably the strongest proof that the moon is NOT what we think it is

Almost any macro shot where you can see an insect's face up close, and the rest of its body is in focus, is almost certainly stacked from 3-5 individual photos. When I digitize large format negatives I also have to stitch together 4 separate images, because you can't fill the sensor with the entire negative without losing a lot of resolution. The software that does this is pretty good.
