A superzoom will be just fine, consider a Canon product, they are much better!
Jump to postI bought the Sony 70-300 and returned it. I bought the Tamron built Promaster 70-300 on E-Bay (70.00 dls) and am very happy with it. My DSLR is a Sony A200. Another option for you!
Jump to postYou already know Canon P&S are the best! The A 530 (I still have mine, my wife used it in <acronym title="Alitalia (Italy)">AZ</acronym> in 2009) was great though not stabilized, you need the A1100 <acronym title="Island Airlines (USA) and Eagle Air/Arnaflug (Iceland)">IS</acronym>, 12MP, stabilized...
Jump to postThe Sigma 55-200 is a very good lens for under 200dls.
Jump to postUncomplicate your life, leave the DSLR in the bag, for your in-flight photos use a quality P&S like the Canon A1000 IS, all you need.

Jump to postI had a couple of spots in my A200 and the cleaning system worked!
Jump to postDon't listen to the hype! Get you a Sony, stabilization is in the camera and the lenses are great, from Zeis to Sony to Sigmas, great choices and save money!
Jump to postYou can adjust shutter speed, apperture, ISO, you need to READ THE BOOK!
Jump to postI like Best Buys, sales tax in Florida is 6%. Bienvenido!
Jump to postI hav e the Sigma 55-200 for my A200 and it is very sharp, reach is excellent!
Jump to postSet your ISO to the lowest setting, white balance auto, compensation -1/3, aperture f/8, or shoot on P,and let the camera control the apperture and shutter speed,do not shoot on auto! I presently carry a Cannon A720IS, congratulations on your choice, good luck.
Jump to postThe Sigmas 28-105 and 55-200 are very nice and sharp, I use them on my A200.
Jump to postCongratulations! The Sony is the best choice and as far as lenses goes you got Somy, Zeis and Sigma, and posibly othersI have two sigmas in adition to my Sony 17-20 and I love my outfit!
Jump to postI totally agree, I have the Sigma 55-200 and it is the sharpest in the area of f/8-f/11, I liked the Sigma so well that I recently bought the 28-105, very good medium range zoom, great walkaround.
Jump to postSorry! The 12 foot tripod was not stupid but genial! LOL
Jump to postIf you wanted a good camera with good lenses you should have bought Sony!!! (my canon P&S are tops, my Sony DSLR is awesome!) LOL. Sorry, no Canon lenses on a Nikon.
Jump to postTry them out and buy the one that feels right for you, there is a lot of snobbery when it comes to the so called "top 2", I decided on the A200 and I am very satisfied, good luck.
Jump to postI Just recently bought a DSLR, the same pictures I have on the DBs and other sites I have contributed to for the past three years have been taken with various P&S from Konica Minolta to various canons, IMHO the best P&S, and you can see them all at <a href="http://www.pbase.com/heez10/" target=_blan...
Jump to postThe A200 is a great camera and the stabilized body will save you hundred from having to buy stabilized lenses, and it will do a great job for you!
Jump to postYou did not clip the wings, orizontal centering is perfect, you may want to bring it down just a hair, it is a great shot!
Jump to postPicasa is free and absolutly easy to use, when you set the size on the export window you'll export all your pics, the right size!
Jump to postI give all the credit for what I have learned to Anet! This is a wonderful forum where you learn so much about our spotting hobby, I like your shots, keep shooting and learning and enjoying it! Welcome!
Jump to postGreat camera! Go for it, read your manual and generally I would say shoot in aperture priority around f8 in good light and keep your ISO as low as you can, show us some pictures!
Jump to postThe sony A100 as been replaced by the improved A200, like <acronym title="Edmonton - City Centre (Municipal / Blatchford Field) (YXD / CYXD), Canada - Alberta">YXD</acronym> saiz you get the 18-70 and the 75-300 for under 600 here in Fl.Good luck! I love my A200 with the 18-70 and a Phoenix 28-210 (...
Jump to postI have had mine for two months and love it, I bought the Phoenix 28-210 from B.H. and it is nice and sharp. 169 dls and it took three days to arrive, you can go directly or through Amazon. The 28-210 gives you a 310mm equivalent zoom, and you do not have to keep changing your lenses, see my aircraft...
Jump to postIt would be very interesting to see a comparison, please post the samples!
Jump to postPicasa3 from Google works great , it is easy and free! For more intensive editing such as Unsharp Mask I click on my Zom Browser, from my Canon Cameras, Hernan
Jump to postCongratulations on your A200, great camera, I love mine, As far as AF1 in my opinion it is not worth being hassled, look at other's pictures, it is the same plane! I understand you want the satisfaction of taking your own pic but there are so many beautiful planes out there, I'd go for the variety! ...
Jump to postTim! TIS is right, I recently bought the A200 and they are great cameras, shoot on <acronym title="Avianca (Colombia)">AV</acronym>, F7 or F8,and keep your stabiliser set on continuous. I get great results for the most part, (Hummingbird pictures are dificult,but I am learning them too! ) LOL. Take ...
Jump to postCongratulations to the photographer and to the guy that edited it, hope you were watching! I wish I was! My editing is not very complicated. Hope to see more pictures from you soon!
Jump to postI second Karl's recomendation, I bought the A200 with the 17-70 kit lens,terrific equipment! I have since added a 28-210 zoom lens and I am still under 600dls.
Jump to postBrilliant photographer, my deepest condolences!
Jump to postI just hear on the news that tomorrow will start their last week and it is all over, Good luck!
Jump to postIf you do not have Photoshop download Picasa, it's free and leveling is a basic fix, all you do is move a slider!
Jump to postI still visit every day but this no longer the forum that entertained me and tought me something about photography daily. It is not the place Johan ran but I hope it will turn around!
Jump to postI bought my A200 about a month ago in Daytona, I got a good deal, the sales lady was very helpful and did not have a "loosing my job" attitude, she said further discounts were likely!
Jump to postWhile you are perfecting your skills for Anet or other DBs (looks like you are on the right track!) are you using a photo sharing site so you can show your pictures to others?
Jump to postI have the Sony A200, with the 28-210mm, I dont' have to change lenses and it gives me a 315mm. equivalent zoom, plenty of reach! Hernan

Jump to postI live in Florida and even here we know about In'n Out Burgers location, their favorite out there, good luck, have fun!
Jump to postYou can get the A200 with the kit lens and a 70-300 for 550 dls. here in the US, I am seriously considering this combo, additional lenses are also more affordable than <acronym title="Island Airlines (USA) and Eagle Air/Arnaflug (Iceland)">IS</acronym> or <acronym title="TACV C Verde Airlines">VR</a...
