Hi David, Thanks for viewing. I was also impressed when I downloaded my catch on the computer, hence my post. Zoom: I'd say it was the long end (50 i.e. 100mm for 24x36) but I DK if I can check on that with JPG - is there a way to get at Exif or shooting data when not shooting RAW? I have another one taken with the short end (14 i.e. 28mm) one minute earlier where only the plane seems to have moved, but I may just as well either have walked up to the tower or simply zoomed in from the same spot. It was point and shoot while releasing the week's steam, sorry :-( BTW: Panasonic is one thing, but the lense says Leica ;-) No harm done David though, and you perfectly know why :-D Another BTW: I'm not sure Matsushita will keep the Panasonic name in the future if they intend to become serious about photography. Lumix is becoming a reference name for P&S in France, they might end up using just this as they did with many other brands they marketed in the past (Blaupunkt, National, etc). But this of course is pure conjecture. Thanks again for viewing and commenting, and if you (or any listers) know how to access the capture data, I'll be delighted to learn. Yours Phileicangemix.
