This is great info Alpha and Rork, Thanks a ton Alpha, for the video stuff, All my DVD films are in 720x468 so this will give me a ton of panning and zoom from a still images. This is a great way to take a still image of lets say your front yard and do a full pan from left to right with great detail. Also a image of that size can be realy zoomed and hold the details. Makes for some great shots where you start with a close-up of a flower and over 10 seconds do a smooth zoom-out to the full plant. Very cool stuff. As for lens, great info as well. They wanted to sell me a $500 lens that I think was a 28-80 or something. I know this lens will be better that the fixed lens I have now, but your right, I should spend the extra now to get a good one. This 35 to 70 MM Zoom soulds like to ticket for me. Thanks for all you r time and help with this.
