The camera is relatively inexpensive and will take the place of my Nikon D300, which has been a workhorse, but is just too heavy to carry with all the lenses. Technology marches on....

Who's zoomin' whom
Hmmm... I think that was the name of an Aretha Franklin album, but really this is about a new camera with a very serious zoom. It is a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS "offering the world's first 50x Optical Zoom lens*
in a compact digital camera, which goes all the way from a wide-angle
24mm to 1200mm (35mm equivalent)." That is some crazy zoom, eh?

These are from Santiago Apostal and you get an idea how
powerful the zoom is. I did not move from my initial spot, but had to do
some serious bracing against a wall just to keep the shot on line and
in focus.
Pretty cool.
Here's the woman seated from the first shot. It should be fun shooting portraits from a distance.
