That was my second guess, hehe :-D He needs another (longer) lens :-) Poor man.... :-P

He's jealous because with a camera I paid 200.00 for(refurbished by the manufacturer) I get better distance and better macros than his expensive dlsr!
NicoleB
Why? Does he want you to use his camera? ;-)
NicoleB
Yep! I loved my P&S for macros :D

I am using an Olympus sp 590uz camera with an amazing built in zoom! For a point and shoot with some manual capabilities it works great

Another one I'd never heard of before. wow! Nice shot too! Btw. that site I link to is pretty awesome for finding the IDs when you know the main species you are looking for. I'm impressed :)
