    'fraid so, haven't moved up to a DSLR yet!
    I use the extra zoom for birds pushing it up from 12x to 15x optical which puts the 7mp down to 3 but still manages a fairly good shot.:)

    Hi Strongy well I have a DSLR but prefer a Bridge camera and the new Panasonic FZ38 and the Fuji S200 EXR which I have been lucky to have tested for a limited Period have made leaps and bounds and almost close the Gap for me in Quality of Image and No lens changes,no dust and easier to carry,But that is only my opinion.:)
    I,d better post a bird image here or I will be in trouble for using the wrong thread:hehe::)
