Is someone looking to find a new Mr. Wombat? I like this shot, the reflection in the background. I might have gotten closer.

MrsWombat - any relation? Nice shot!

It's my wife, Angie - I chose her login name
Being in a wheelchair, she gets a totally different perspective.

The layout (and crowd) is such that she couldn't get closer.
I must buy her a new camera with lots of zoom and good IS.
She gave the FZ25 to her son when she went to the USA.
The LZ5 is limited in zoom.

I was gonna say, she's in a wheelchair so she can't get any closer.
She did a great job. Nice clarity and exposure.

I think she could really use a 1D Mark III with the 28-300mm L IS. And she deserves it!

I bet she could barely lift it.
The 20D with EF-S 10-22 was almost too heavy.
The thing is she needs a lightweight, and high zoom.
Maybe without the grip though (she almost never shoots portrait format).
Even the 28-300 may not be enough on the 20D.
Hm, maybe worth a try.

Even so I reckon it'll be a P&S again.
