If your keen to get some bird shots with this camera you will need to get as close as 5 to 6 feet to the birds. An easy way to attract birds this close is to put a bird feeder near an open window and quitely sit by the window. If that is not possible then sit on a park bench and sprinkle some seed and/or nuts on the ground. Most of the compact camera zooms are x3 that range from wide angle to short telephoto which is ideal for portrait. For bird photography at a farther distance (20 feet) you will require a compact with atleast x10 zoom.
