not sure what flies enjoy so much from rust - is there a mineral they need?

loads of Bumblebees on the lavender - tough to focus with the G6 on such busy insects as focus lock is so slow compared to slr.

Good series RM. The flies remind me of airplanes in front of their hanger. How do you like your G6 and would you recommend it?

Looks like the flies are lining up for a race. Nice one.

Image quality is excellent but the shutter lag and slow focus lock make action shots very difficult - there must be more recent compacts with faster response times.

Nice shots RM, I've just purchased the Raynox dcr250 for my panny fz8 I hope I can get some good results with it, shutter lag isn't too bad and focus can be set to manual so I'm hoping it performs well.

Interesting shot of the flies- wonder if it was a mineral lick thing or just the rusty bit is likely to be warmer in the sun ?

manual focus on the G7 is not very usable - it just enlarges the middle section of the LCD with pretty poor resolution.

Interesting about the flies on rust, and there's that one, who doesn't appear as healthy, off by himself away from the rust patch. Now that bee shot is awesome.
