A while back I garage saled an apparently new Olympus C-765, 4meg, 10x zoom with an "ED" lens...

Looking for something quick with some zoom and for $50 it seemed like the thing. I am finally starting to get the hang of the thing, adjusting the brightness by eye before shooting etc. I really like the LCD in the view finder, similar to an SLR in that regard.

I am pretty happy with this shot, the bird was probably 30 feet away in the tree, hand held...

PS: I sure wish my CP 4500 has that LCD viewfinder, I have a 3X ED lens for it but the lens blocks the view finder and it is essentially impossible to use the monitor screen in daylight...

Hi Jon;
That's a great shot, esp with a non DSLR camera.
Interesting how the feet are not gripping the branch with all toes - I assume that two front toes per foot are holding him there.
