Was there any way, or set of settings allowing me to capture a better image of the two bears at 30 meters from me; maybe not?
You simply have to realize a camera lacks the perceptual dynamic range of the human eye. Extremely high contrast images are difficult to render with any modern DSLR.
Don't let any one put your camera down, I and many Pro's use Rebels My two current camera's are both purchased on the reviews of Nat Geo Photographers. That being said If all you have is a holga pinhole then that doesn't mean poor shooting its never the camera it the artist. When it comes to lenses same story.
Can you tell the difference between a $150 lens and a $15,000 lens? - DIY Photography
I like teddy bears black or otherwise. Cheers Pete
As much as people say gear doesn't matter that isn't true. Sure you can get a good image with a rebel and a plastic fantastic 50mm. But when it comes to wildlife and paid gigs there is a reason pros use $5000 bodies and up. They have a much superior focus system and burst rate, which for a working pro is everything. For a hobbiest as yourself sure it doesn't matter but too a pro good gear is a necessary investment.
Yeah, cause these suck with such low quality gear.As much as people say gear doesn't matter that isn't true. Sure you can get a good image with a rebel and a plastic fantastic 50mm.

Gear does matter vrs it's the photographer not the camera blood bath to begin in 3... 2... 1...
I just bought my first DSLR - a Canon SL1 which came with the kit 18-55mm lens.
I am considering buying the 55-250mm IS STM lens to be able to capture wildlife from some distance but I'm not too sure what to expect.
Today I took a picture of a black bear from about 30-50m with my lens set to 55mm.
This is what came out in JPG format (72 pixels / inch)
And this is what the cropped image looks like at 72 pixels / inch when the width is 40 cm.
Should I expect better results with my current lens at this range and what should be the settings to achieve them?
My camera is set to use the 9 point focusing and I believe I had it set at "portrait" for this shot.
Still the bear seems slightly out of focus, the eyes are not visible and his fur is just a blur.
Would I be able to get the same results with a 55-250mm lens if I am 200m away?
I guess a 55-250mm lens and a steady hand would have given me a perfect shot in this case.
As for the 55-250mm lens you mentioned it is probably the best lens for the money you could put on that camera.
They already do. Quality leaves a lot to be desired. Jet.comAs for the 55-250mm lens you mentioned it is probably the best lens for the money you could put on that camera.
But equipment is getting cheaper gradually. In 10 years we may be getting 500mm zoom lenses for $200 or under.
