Blimey, that came out well. Must be over 20 miles away? Wouldn't get that with an optical zoom.	Posted by GLADMAN 14th February 2016ce
Yep, about 20 miles. My replacement little compact has a 30x optical zoom, so not anywhere near a DSLR but not too bad for the size.	Posted by thesweetcheat 14th February 2016ce
That is magnificent.	Posted by carol27 14th February 2016ce
Thanks Carol. It's a wonderful hill, in a lovely part of Wales.	Posted by thesweetcheat 14th February 2016ce
Looks amazing, great photo. (Am thinking of replacing my camera, yours sounds ideal - when you get a little minute could you please tell me the make and specification?)	Posted by tjj 14th February 2016ce
Thanks June :) It's a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 bought as "reconditioned". I don't have the energy to carry a DSLR around, so I'm very happy with a small compact. This is lightweight and easy to use. It was quite expensive (well, by my standards) at around £200 and I'm not liking it quite as much as its deceased predecessor so far (which was also a TZ, just an earlier model), mainly because they've ditched the touch screen in favour of the larger zoom. I do wonder whether I would've been better with going for a larger sensor and a smaller zoom, but the choice is made! If you want a bargain, you might be better looking for an earlier TZ, like the TZ30.	Posted by thesweetcheat 14th February 2016ce
Thanks very much for this A, have written down the details. I would not want to carry a DSLR either - have been using my current camera for seven years now and it feels like an old friend, a Cannon PowerShot SX200 with a 12x digital zoom. With the exception of clear sunny days, it just isn't as sharp as it used to be (changing the memory card didn't make a difference). I like that it fits easily into whatever bag I'm carrying.
