Also remember the minimum focus distance on that 500mm is likely to be 9 feet (mine is)

True...

I will have toplay with that a bit and see what it does to the minimum focus distance. It might be great for butterflies n such. Of course with SINGLE digit temperatures it will be a while before I can find out... :cry

Thanks ian...I like the little camera so much i sometimes wonder if i should fall into the 'bigger will be better' trap. I change my mind daily...so will sit it out for a bit to be sure.

Its a pleasure to use that for sure. I can operate it in full darkness i am so used to it.

'tis a bit chilly out this evening...rode the bike back to work earlier...

Anyway, I think if you go the bigger is better route, your pictures wil be that
much better because you've gained practical experience from that little camera.
