Message: <blockquote data-quote="spuggyhawk" data-source="post: 1862386" data-attributes="member: 84997">Thanks Paul and Gene.No 8 was my choice aswell, focusing on the camera screen always seems harder to me but in this instance it seems to have produced the clearer pic.However i was just inside my house so no bright sun on the screen ..that allways makes it harder, i may make myself some sort of shade for the screen to combat that.Gene i have used macro before but not in tests and ive not seen any noticable difference...but that could be me :-Oi used a cable release Gene.When you say "auto focus shots" do you mean full time auto focus? I have that setting on the P6000 but have never used it, I use the normal AF in that when the shutter rease is half depresed it auto focuses. Yes your right Gene the P6000 is still fetching good prices and yes the FS10 produced as good results when i tried both however the FS10 does not have as many manualy adjustable settings as the p6000... no Apature priority or IR remote although i'm advised the the IR remote is not much use.I wouldnt go as far as "uncomfortable with my glasses" Gene, I need close and distance correction so varifoculs work great for me. In use in photography if i was wearing just lenses for close work (reading glasses) and looked up from 12 inches in front of me i wouldnt see much :-O My perscriptin is fairly recent.That thread you linked to Gene is interesting... putting the eye correction on the camera or viewfinder is what i'm thinking it means.I have reading glasses that i use sometimes at home but not often i'll have a go with them and see if it makes any difference.Going on both yours and pauls remarks on the test i did then on screen focusing is what i need to practice and do a more exstensive test just using that method and see if it and myself can produce consitant results.I'm also looking around for a decent tripod and head to replace mine with ..without being to costly....good old ebay.:smoke:Thanks for your time guys !!Jon</blockquote>
