This bridge camera was the best I could afford at the time: maybe someday I'll do the do and pick up something more professional. My only concern now is that maybe my arms and hands are not quite steady enough to take these long shots, even with a better camera :o( I want fast results so I don't bother with a tripod, but just try to brace against something while shooting.

And I never really explored all these damned features the camera offers, wanting really just to aim-and-shoot. I'll bet I can get better quality if I do that ;o)
