I am just worried that all the extra functionality may reduce the ease of use. I'll have to look into it further. The tips about zooming are great. I have mostly been using infinity zoom on the manual mode and focussing manually but my shots have not been great. A lot of this will may be down to camera shake but also I have trouble focussing. I am currently using binoculars with my camera but when I've saved enough cash I want to get a Nikon ED50 (but that might not be for years, lol).</p></blockquote><p></p>
