My SLR kit used to weigh 16 kilos and carting that from here to New Zealand would be an impossibility. My latest cross-over is a Sony DSC-HX100V with a 30X optical magnification. It will never have the definition that your camera has but for my purposes the 810mm equivalent with image stabilisation is absolutely wonderful.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-91986198412550771032012-06-01T05:22:21.047+01:002012-06-01T05:22:21.047+01:00I'd love that 800mm focal length!!!
