Very interesting.
I am learning a lot.
Another question about file sizes-when I look at the computer file info, for this picture it says 13.2MB 6016 x 4016. When you say 1000 pixels, is it one of these numbers?
Ann- I have a very similar camera Fuji Finepix HS 50 EXR, which is basically your camera in a prior version from about 3 years ago. I had so much fun with it (love that superzoom!) that this spring I spent a lot of $$$ and got a fancier bigger camera and a macro lens. But guess what-I am keeping the Fuji. It is a great camera, can be used as a point and shoot or fully manual, once you want to play around. I took it to a Police Academy graduation ceremony. There were some people there with some very fancy full frame cameras, but my little superzoom got better close ups from across a big auditorium, and those guys had enormous camera bags but no super telephoto. They would have had to use a humongous bird watching telephoto with a tripod. So now I have two cameras.
