That's pretty extraordinary, is it cropped very much?

Straight from the X90 just re-sized.
Shot at F5.6 and 1/320 80ISO.

Any idea about the recorded focal length?

Oh, a question, does re-sizing count as cropping?

f/2.8-5.0 26x zoom lens 4.6mm-119.6mm equivalent to 26-676mm in 35mm so the x90 has a crop sensor of 5.65x

4.6mmx5.65 =25.99mm
119.6mmx5.65 =675.74mm
hope that helps.

As yet I have not ventured into 400 territory
Will post images when I do.

Looks nice and clear, and well exposed. I think you could get away with cropping much closer.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys
