Title: Pics with the wife's B- day present,
Post by: Huntbear on July 23, 2009, 11:02:05 PM: Wife wanted a digital camera. She is not very camera literate, so I knew she needed something that was easy to use and carry. I wanted something that would get decent wildlife shots. After doing a lot of research I picked the Olympus SP-565 UZ. It is a P&S super zoom. And yes Pope, it shoots RAW. :chuckle:

This doe was 30 yards away. Since I was just playing with it, these were shot as JPEG only.
First pic is at full wide angle, 28mm

2nd pic is at 20x optical zoom

I really thought about it, but decided she can have it, but I will be taking it to the woods with me when I go. :chuckle:

She just wanted a nice camera for family pics and stuff, so I figured I would kill 2 birds with one camera.
