For someone like me SR is a God send.

At times I do have shaky hands - and this showed quite markedly on my Kodak P&S - so moving to DSLR my camera really had to have SR .

For me SR just WORKS

Wobbly

to my less than knowledgeable eye - those are gorgeous. I wish I could take as good pictures

Spot on

Thoramay,

I'm limited in what I can physically carry weightwise - 2 bad elbow injuries in the past with resultanlt nerve damage in both arms.

Gartmore was very helpful to me before I actually bought my camera - and let my try his with various lenses on. I found that his 50-300 was markedly heavy for me - the weight was very obvious and I realised that it could well give me problems.

I bought my K-x with just the 18-55 DA L and now have a Samsung 50-200 . I've used the Samsung and can cope with it without problems.

Is there anywhere you can actually go and try the lenses you are interested in and see if they are possible for your circumstances ?

Well that idea worked - taaaa

Just tried again - went to My Settings - personal info - removed my real name ,clicked save and oops

here we go again

You must enter your real name

I know - spotted that

But then - look at my forum name ........

It says a heck of a lot about me

And a very personal comment from me

I'm happy enough with having my location known - but I would have preferred my actual name to be unknown .

If I try and remove it - I'm told I have to give it

Err - nor did you - shows what the shock did

Stefan I ~think~ you meant worrying

vjay -- have you seen Mike-P's siggie ?

You are doomed , doomed I tell you - YOU ARE DOOMED .
