Philippine Pygmy Woodpecker with a P&S :)

[Romy Ocon]

I took this documentary still shot while filming in 4K. The exposure was very dark, so I had to push it 1.5 stops during processing. This pushing, coupled with a major cropping, shows the limits of the tiny sensor of the RX10 IV.

Wow pa rin! That P&S can still deliver great shots in the hands of Ka Mastah!

Thanks, Ka Bobby! Hoping this 1.10 kg P&S won't be too heavy for me when I pass the senior age barrier.
