Compact cameras for wildlife photography.
How do I use compact cameras for wildlife photograph? I will sum it up in two word: I DON’T!
The single reason is it practically impossible to take wildlife photos with a compact camera is the incredibly long lag from the time you push the button until it clicks. The animal has moved, or turned its head or flewn off before the photo is taken. It is so terribly frustrating.
Get an SLR. Even the cheapest model is a trillion times more useful than the compact camera for this kind of use. Even the cheapest Canon Rebel will work great.
