I am wanting to take some long distance photos with my new camera, think I will go down to the lakes here in the neighborhood one day this week and try it out. There are normally some ducks or geese down there. I have wanted a DSLR camera for a long time, but buying the camera and the lens and the filters and ...etc. it just gets so expensive. Like you said too, I would probably end up taking my light weight, easy to use, point and shoot out to the garden any how.
