Thanks, Chickopee. I'm a dedicated Nikon shooter but I'll be going to a July 4th festival where they're restrictiong cameras to a four-inch lens length and I'm going to need zoom, so this is a serious contender.

Well I hope you do well.......I have a nikon D50 that I bought yrs ago refurb that still does an outstanding job for me; however the LCD is very small for my aging eyes!
Good luck again.......fill us in on how you do.........be safe
