Almost at the point of going for it and the answer to this question probably won't make much difference to the decision. I know that great photos can be taken by the most basic of cameras but there are some occasions when no matter how good the photographer, the camera is just not capable. The pictures we see from hal of the birdlife by the water, I have set up my Panasonic DMC-TZ7 (not the cheapest point and shoot) on a tripod, full zoom (12x) and delayed release aiming at birds in my own garden but trying varying settings nothing gets close to the crispness of hal's pictures and they are probably on a stronger zoom than I have. I'm hoping for a step up with the SX40.
I saw this photo the other day:

and thought I would never be able to get a shot like that but would I have a chance with the SX40? Ignoring being in the right position and clicking at the right time, if I was and I did, is the SX40 capable?
