For pictures of the moon, no....quickshift which is handy but is it worth an extra £100?
For animals or birds moving about, or aeroplanes, I reckon possibly so.

No, Wednesday I'm washing my hair. Wouldn't want to cramp your style though, anyway.

Which is usually a miss, but when you hit the mark, it's beautiful. And these photos are beautiful sir. Thank you for sharing them with us...

I hadn't read this when I posted, but it's exactly how it struck me too.

I don't like the last two, but only because of the wires.
The rest are just excellent. I saw the title, and was expecting to hate them all, since the subtle and beautiful colours that birds have, always seem to be integral to their captures.
But you proved me comprehensively wrong - thank you.

Personally I'd say they're nice, but not superb. The tree is a bit central in the first one, and although the hay is nicely textured, it's ultimately slightly unsatisfying, since I find myself looking around, but finding only hay.
The second one lacks a certain crispness, to my eye. The shadow area in the middle would be perfect, if the building had a little more to say for itself, but again, it's slightly unsatisfying. Is there more detail to be seen there?
I also see no canal

You could search completed listings on eBay, to see what things like what you're looking at go for. You can also see what people are asking here and elsewhere.
Classifieds listed here tend to go for a bit less than that, since there are no eBay fees to pay.
People value things differently, so there's no point in anyone saying "I think it would be worth X".
Also look into the price new for whatever you're looking to buy.
You could start at some arbitrary percentage of the new price (70%?), and decide whether you're prepared to pay it.
There's no shortcut really... 'do your own research', is the best advice I suspect you'll get. Anything else will be based on others' subjective views, and although one or two have done surveys, they inevitably go out of date very quickly.
