I hope to do as well very soon; as soon as I can get a telephoto lens and the time to use it.I was discussing photography with a friend recently who loves his Canon SX60 or SX530 or whatever it is. He thinks SLR photography is stupid, and his awesome Canon can do everything a DSLR can do. He was criticizing my FE2 and I explained to him that I want to control all the factors in the photo and I like to know what made the shot the way it is; i.e., f stop, shutter speed, etc.. He said "I don't care how the shot was made! I just want to get the shot!"End of discussion. That's where we part ways. If great shots were all there was to photography, I would just buy a Coolpix and go sailing. Photography is not a passion then. In my view, my friend is not into photography. He's just into getting great shots.</blockquote>
