August 4, 2019: Out for a cruise with the new camera . . .
Read MoreI've taken many pics of the moon in the past. The old Canon SX40HS camera had a 35x optical zoom with 4x of digital zoom available on top of that. In other words, I could get surprisingly close decent quality. The new SL3 camera doesn't have a long zoom lens. But it does have a much larger sensor. So even though I can't zoom in as far, the image quality is still good enough to produce a decent picture. I took the photo above at the long end of the standard 18 - 55 mm lens that came with the camera.
