Roger,, I know and understand what your saying about setting a lower resolution on the camera--I got this camera because when out west on a trip to grand canyon, yellowstone,yoseme--all the orientals had this camera---the only time I have found a better camera that those folks use was when the Nasa guys took Hasselblads to the moon----yep, got one of them also, but it uses film--I have taken a lot of pics from high altitude and far off distances--I want to be able to count the cws and pigs in those feed lots (count the feet, divide by four)

I am also looking for lots of details on vehicles and airplanes---On the Canon EOS50D, I use a 28-135 lens --I can frame a complete car from the middle of the street and also sometimes keep a 300+mph car in the view finder down track with some details--------
