The feeder is a circular mesh tray with a clear plastic
lamp shade type cover, it's quite well made and can be lowered.
I thought I'd lowered it enough to keep them out, but it doesn't
seem that I have.
Quite a good feeder because the birds get inside it and look
like they are driving a boat

They do seem to eat anything, I've got one feeder that
they can get at and it's emptied within hours of filling it

...This was with the Sigma 150-500mm at 500mm handheld 1/125th f/7.1
400ISO
does the trick!

In defence of the lowly K7's capabilities, here are a couple of shots I took recently - iso 1600, no flash, lens was an 'A' 28mm f2.8. I did remove some shadow noise, but the edge detail was easily bought back.
The K-5 is better when the light is dull and mostly dark tones and the amount that can be pulled back if you under expose.
This is a shot that I would never have recovered on the K20D...
I would have got nothing but noise
You can see the exposure was set for outside of the shaded tree...
It was a quick grab shot I had been photographing birds
out of the shade ... It's also a massive crop!
I've not gone overboard with the PP.... I think I pulled it
back 1 1/2 stops and got this....

I do find the last comment re: Panasonic/Olympus etc to hold true from recent experience... Met a fair few pro-togs and photographic artists recently who have added M4/3rds cameras to their stable; or replaced dslr systems with them... All cite size and portability as well as 'sufficiant' IQ for their needs...

I can't see anything wrong with the
eyes on No: 1 the makeups dark anyway and very well done.
but it makes a change from everything being lit from the narrowside.
Some people say it's wrong, but a lot of top photographers have
done it so it's acceptable. One slight drawback is that all the
modeling on the broadside of the nose is lost, but this model
has nice features and you can get away with it.

rig up the camera on a wireless remote to get anything,
but the feeder is this one...

Quite well made no rust after about 3 years use. You can see
the thumbscrew that clamps the dome to whatever height you
want.
Robins and tits seem to like it and get inside. You can also
put fatballs in it.
