I normally overnight in the 'wilderness' in the back of my pickup, so I can take lots of gear..... I'd like to begin hoofin' it a little and spend a couple
of nights on foot, and I dont want to take my Canon, and assortment of lenses...
Anyone have suggestons? - what I'm looking for is one with at least a 3" viewfinder, 12+MP, and a long range optical zoom, and auto and manual modes. I can do more, but would like to stay in the $400 range.. It's about $100 more than what I'd like to spend, but the Lumix Fz40 has a lot of the features I'm looking for ... but I'd really like to have a little more zoom if poss.
Lookin' forward to getting started - Want to explore some of the slots canyons in S. Utah, so need to travel light as possible.. 3-6 days walking .. BTW, is it true that Global Warming has caused the ground to get harder ??
tks,
