Pix with new camera
No sunrise yet but been testing the new Nikon P510 with it's 1000mm zoom. The reviews I've read said it didn't focus very well at max zoom and was
slow doing it. I am happy with both. Here are a few untouched..
And some I played with...
And a shot of the New & Old Rangers

$429
Here's some info on it.

The option was a 500mm + Nikor lens at well over $1000 and not something to travel with.

Nice birds, Russ. Thank you. Always appreciate photos of Baja's treasures. Keep posting. You have motivated me to start throwing in more of my
pics.

Gotta say, the new XP is pretty cool looking. Kinda flashy for a cave dweller.

Fantastic photos with the 510. Looks like a great camera to take on a long journey without having to carry extra lenses, etc.
Might just have to buy one myself as we are headed to New Zealand in October.
Thanks for the info and the great images!

I'm flashy cave dweller. Imagin of Steve Martin. Well, since that doesn't work maybe the New XP will be a chick magnet.

I assume you must use some type of tripod when zooming in, right?

Ken, 3.3 to 5.9 ( http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/nikon-coolpix-p510-b... )
Bob, No tripod. It has a pretty good vibration dampening system. Here's feature the traveler will like. It will put the GPS location in the image

Looks like a great camera, especially for the price. I like the red model. I'm on the verge of getting one. Will put my hands on one at Best Buy to
touch and feel, and then order online.
