I have not tried my 100x300 zoom yet but others have told me it should work great.

The best pictures I ever took was my wife and baby son when he was weeks old, treasured photos

I know very little about photography and cant seem to sit with a book and study like I used to, but armed with a good auto camera even I can get some good results.
Yes Pete, auto is great when you first get the camera, but from what I have been reading and watching lately (rather belatedly I might add - should have been ingrained 30 years ago) Manual is the way to go, even the best newer cameras make so many mistakes in auto.
