True, it is still a 400, but the angle of view is an 800, right?  So the
shake would be moving the lens the equivalent of what an 800 would see on a
full frame, right?  I am so confused with all this.  It is like a 400 with a
2x converter that only sees the center portion of the field.

So, a hand held 800mm at 1/250 sec.  That is VERY impressive. 


No, Aram.  Hand held at 400mm at 1/250th.  The FoV is 800mm due to the
smaller sensor, but the f/l is still 400.  Still, for hand-held, w/o
shoulder stock or pistol grip, I think it's OK!

Gives me confidence that when I get out with the birdies (another few weeks,
it seems, though the first Canadian Jays, Thrushes and Canada Honkers, not
to mention a few Red-winged Blackbirds, are here now), once the backroads
are mostly clear of snow, and can use the monopod w/shoulder stock, the
results should be quite good. :-)

What pleased me is that the focus confirmation worked!  Rather well,
actually.

Cheers!
