Or for G2.. i need something more powerful.. like 420 EX...
Do you have any tele-lens? I don't think the 3x zoom of the G2 would be sufficient.Originally posted by sonix

how fast can those humming birds beat their wings?
u need 1/800s to freeze their wing, even 1/60 also not fast enough!
wonder how many shots you have tried before getting the first pic?

Hummingbirds beat their wings from 80/s normally up to 200/s during courtship.
Sometime you don't want to fully freeze the wings... some motion blur is nice to show movement... I've had comments that the first shot looks like a toy hummingbird suspended on an invisible string..
For the first pic, the Sparkling Violet-ear goes to the feeder once in 20 minutes on an average (when I was there).. it doesn't stay long at the feeder, only long enough to take 1 shot. 2 shots out of 4 were spoilt (wings were in a wrong position)... the other shot that came out ok was the wing in a downward position
