Those "bigfoot" photos are such an obvious hoax.
1. The focal length is listed in the files itself as 24mm, i.e. zoomed all the way out.
2. There are only two photos taken a minute apart, stopping just as the subject begins to approach.
Now, imagine if you were on a mountain top and saw a big ape coming over the ridge. Wouldn't you, first of all, zoom in on it, and secondly, wouldn't you keep snapping until it passed out of view?
It's a guy in a fur suit. The photographer is absolutely 100% intentionally trying to keep it as vague as possible. You make some excellent points, Luthier.
It didn't even occur to me to look at the EXIF tags on the files, but they truly speak of many shenanigans...
As you mention, 24mm is a very strange choice of focal length, and TBH, the image is very noisy for ISO 100 (even for some of the crappy cameras Sony has made)..
And what the hell kind of Cybershot is this, anyway? The "Full file" is 1280x960.. from a camera with a 24mm lens?? The brand-new R1 does 24mm, but then why the hell is this picture so noisy, and at only 3MP? And that camera does 120mm. As you say, this guy would be zoomed in tight! I'm very confused about that bit..
But most telling is that this image is supposedly made at f10.
There is simply no way I can believe that at f10, on a small sensor camera - which I can only assume was focussed on infinity (it's set to Program AE, so I can't imagine the camera would bother with anything else at that at that kind of a range) - there wouldn't be enough depth-of-focus to keep the rocks in the foreground sharp! No way.
It's one of the fundamental problems affecting photographers with these new small-sensor cameras; they have ridiculously deep DOF at wide apertures, never mind stopped-down. At f10, this thing should be keeping everything in focus at that range.
.. that is to say, I think you're right
