Thanks David, hadn't seen that!

Yeah Will has been a long time hasn't it, may even be longer but one thing is for sure I've never had a lull this long before!

I've not long bought th 18-200mm but there still isn't that get up and go for taking my camera out as I once had!

It's difficult as I really would like a compact but as the devil pointed out in our place it's hard going back to lcd rather than viewfinder and shutter lag was one of the reasons I got a DSLR.

However if picture quality equalled or surpassed my current camera then I think I could live with those things!
