Yes, this little Coolpix S8200 is over 3 years old now and I continue to be very impressed with it. I also have Nikon DSLR's with macro lenses but I am getting to the age where it is difficult to carry the weight of that equipment around, especially when I am on long treks. I always have the little coolpix in my pocket because in my opinion, 70% of the factors in a wildlife shot is getting there! Thanks for your comments and I enjoy your galleries as well. Keep up the good work.

That COOLPIX is impressive - - and - - of course, one has to know how to use it!
