DH also gets on much better with the smaller point and shoot, although i much prefer my Nikon!
Roy, that is, indeed, a lovley picture above.

I used that for the photo's of the dragonflies and the closeups of flowers. It is really sharp, if you can hold it still at the 300mm settings. |

Have you seen some of the photo's on here done with compacts? There are thousands of people out there taking photo's because of them, and they are happy with the results. As you should be too with yours. |

I have a friend who scuba dives and she got advice from someone who told her the best underwater shot are actually done with the disposables. I've seen her underwater photos, and I would concur. |
