Hi folks
Sorry if this has been covered before - wasn't obvious to me from the first few pages of threads I looked at.
I have a Nikon CP 8400 which I'm still trying to learn to use for macro photos. Unfortunately, I've found that the max zoom at c. 80mm equivalent is +/- useless for butterflies. I've resorted to taking photos through my binos with often less than fantastic results. So I'm considering 2 options:
The aim is mainly to produce identifiable photos, but it's possible that some will make it to a website or publication devoted to the subject.
Thanks for your opinions

- Buy Nikon's 3 x extender (adding 2-300 g to the camera weight)
- Buy a new superzoom. I've my eyes on the FZ50 so far but keep hoping that a new one will be introduced which will sweep all before it (e.g. Canon H5?)
