The Admiral and I are moving into digital, just for the convenience and size. We just purchased a Panasonic FZ5 with a 1 Gig memory card; big enough to grip, Leica optics with 12x zoom (equivalent to 36 - 432 mm), and 400 shots without running out of film in the middle of shooting an occasion.

Watch out loons; this year we can stay way back and still get decent sized images! (Maybe this year I can get something better than a tiny image of a loon's backside as it dives? I love 'em, but they have got to be telepathic - spot one, stop the boat, shut off the engines, wait for it to approach, and just as I get the SLR/250mm combo focused and press the shutter button, down it goes and comes up out of range. Frustrating!)
