I've not been too impressed with my new camera, to be honest.
It's an Olympus 590uz, which replaced my much more impressive 550uz, when I killed it by dragging it off the desk and onto the floor.:togo:
I suspect it's me rather than the camera but even on auto, the pictures leave a lot to be desired.
Except if you want to zoom in, then the 26x zoom is quite good!
I took a few pictures the other day, up above Stanhope in Weardale.
This was just at the roadside, looking up the hill to the Waskerley Way.
The distance is at least a mile I'd say and I decided to see what the vehicle on the horizon was:
I was able to sneak a shot at some grouse;
as well as a few smaller things too!:
but then I heard what I had really come for, sadly, far too far across the valley but I took a shot on full zoom anyway;
I actually aimed at the glint of sunlight, as I couldn't really see much else!
So maybe I need to learn a lot more about the camera
just thought I'd share
