I meant to type in 250 to 300 Meters... About the length of an American football field plus the end zones. @hollowman... I think you mean a micro-drive. They are about $250.00 US, and very fragile. I have a friend who had one and dropped it once. Now it is a paperweight. @bsteph... The color is straight out of the camera. I did adjust the levels just a bit, but it was a day of mixed clouds and sun. In the first shot there were clouds, and in the second there was sun. My eyes say this is pretty close to the way it actually looked. Usually, I choose a lens and camera set up for the day and just go with that. My guess is that this one weighs about 6 pounds, so it really isn't that heavy.
