    LOL...I think some one is really enjoying his new camera! i try and try to get pics of our hummingbirds and I always give up...they always come from behind me and buzz my head! Have fun with your new camera...

    Have you tried the continuous shooting function..that helps with the fast little bugs etc... :stew1:

    I disagree, Capt. Your patience goes to show that small things in this world are important still. He's a lovely little thing. :stew1:
