    Good shot considering the conditions.

    Are you pleased with the camera ?

      Thanks, yes I am pleased so far. Obviously it has limitations, mainly due to the small sensor, but as a lightweight travel camera I think it will serve the purpose well. The lens is pretty amazing, partly due it's sharpness but mainly because of the extreme zoom which enables the use of images with little or no cropping, limiting some of the downsides of the small sensor. It is not a camera for low or dubious lighting conditions as noise creeps in fairly quickly as the ISO value goes up, I'm limiting it to 400 at the moment. However it is still a learning curve, coming from a Canon 7DII, and I can see it becoming more useful as I get to know it's idiosyncrasies better.
