I've owned the Panasonic Lumix line of ultrazoom cameras --- FZ10,'20 and '30 --- since January 2004 and with the Leica lens, image stabilization and 12x optical zoom (out to approximately 420mm) I've learned to appreciate birds as I never had with my previous cameras. My interest became an obsession after my recent (October 2005) purchase of a Red-Dot Sight, a device usually found on guns to track targets. I now "hunt" and "shoot" birds with the RDS mounted on my current FZ30's flash hot shoe using an Xtend-a-Sight.
As can be seen here, the focus stays on the Kestrel even when a tree is introduced into the background, and there's a "panning effect" as you sweep along, tracking the bird.
