kinda misses the point of showing the subtle 'differences' between these fung.

 

eg; the hares foot is known for it's delicate rolling of the cap rim

Lorry, I have a Canon G11, but to be very honest I've seen great shots taken with far inferior cameras.

 

I think it's more to do with perseverence, getting down & dirty & tuning ones eye in

That's the one cheers Rich I've read about the new one but they reckon yours would take some beating and the new one is a bit of a let down so think I'll go for your model:thumbup:
