Thanks! IWN: Yeah, when I uploaded them I was really surprised with how clear those were for being in the shade. =) Ngal: The only ones that were really close where the last few squirrel ones. I was actually quite surprised he let me get that close. All of them are taken at 432mm, though. =) And the black-capped chickadees and a few others were lightly cropped.
Thank you! :D And I just have the Canon s3. Focal length is 36mm-432mm (35mm equiv.), max aperature is F2.7-F3.5, and it has some pretty good macro capabilities. I like the zoom, but I'm not too fond of the noise levels and the fringing. =p I should've just saved up a bit longer and gotten an SLR, but oh well, too late now. =) At least it's an improvement over the A520, (35mm-140mm and F2.7-F5.5) which is what I had before.
