Hi Mark,

Yeah, I have always had the same mindset, and still suffer from it a bit – it still doesn’t seem to be a “real” photo when you hand hold a point and shoot.

Because that means taking the tripod, assorted lenses, backpack, etc, etc if I really wanted to be prepared. But there has been more than one occasion, like this one, where I wish I at least had something. So I take a little one with me usually now as well, if for anything just to savor those special moments.

At least you weren't relegated to use a cell phone camera for this photo. Sounds like a great camera Ron. At least you weren’t relegated to use a cell phone camera for this photo.

Hey Carl - yeah it would be nice to have a camera that fits in your pocket so you don't have to drop the whole pack to take a picture - you'll end up carrying both! Ron Thanks Laurent – it is fun!

I hear ya on the weight and portability of camera gear. I think this will bt the year I finally succumb and get a little P&S for the backpacking trips .. of course, I'll probably simple end up carrying both and making it harder on myself. But being able to just grab a camera out of the shirt pocket and take a shot is a big plus. Nice lookin' canine. Cheers Carl Hey Ron,

I'm not surprised, the image quality seems fine at least for magazine use. It does a great job with family photos and inside stuff. Converting one to IR is a great idea. Thanks, Ron Hi Phil,

I even had an LX3 converted to IR recently. Its a great little camera.

Thanks Sherri, That is a good point; it does become a matter of getting the shot or not. Fortunately it turned out to be a fun little camera on top of it. Thanks Roberta!

I know what you mean about skiing with heavy gear. I might look into this camera for the same reason you did. There are definite benefits to owning one of these types of cameras. It's often a matter of getting a shot or not! The coyote story is great too. We have them at our house. However, I never encourage them to stick around. They are pests! But, out in the wild like you experienced would be awesome! Have fun with your new toy (oops - I mean equipment)! Ron – excellent post and photo. I know what you mean about skiing with heavy gear.

I stood up and he ran off. I saw another one also in Yellowstone and he was in a hurry to get past us. But yeah I do love living here in Jackson - lemme know if you're ever in the neighborhood!

With him right there I couldn't seem to get my camera focused and didn't get a picture but, my son did.
