One of the great things about the FZ18 (and FZ28 too no doubt) is that it's light and easy to carry around compared to a DSLR and long lens or a digiscoping setup. That means more chance to grab shots that you can't predict. I was walking around my local patch near Sevenoaks carrying my FZ18 this am and spotted a treecreeper prospecting a dead willow for nest sites. I was able to whip the FZ18 out and take several nice shots hand held very quickly with minimum fuss. The details are: FZ18, full zoom, Nikon TC-E15ED X1.5 teleconverter, ISO 100, 1/200 F4.2. Really please with these shots taken at a range of about 15 feet and about a 60% crop.
