I've seen some beautiful shots taken with the PRO90, specially of birds at a distance.

I picked up an interesting ZLR, the Canon Powershot Pro 90 IS. It has image stabilization built in which makes it so much more versatile than most ZLR's. I read that Olympus had one, too. Both are not out of production.Jim A.From: "Butch Black" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2003 19:02:27 -0500 To: "Pentax discussion group" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: What is a ZLR (was long ramble to Cotty) Resent-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Resent-Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2003 19:03:53 -0500 Hi Boris A ZLR stands for zoom lens reflex. In digital cameras it would have through the lens viewing but have a non-interchangeable zoom lens. Current examples of ZLR's would be the Olympus E-10 & E-20, Minolta Dimage &, 7H, & 7HI. there are others. The advantage to a ZLR is that the CCD or CMOS chip is sealed so there is less chance of getting dust on the sensor, which is a problem with all DSLR's to my knowledge. The disadvantage is that you are stuck with the lens they put on it. Though in both Olympus' and Minolta's case they built good lenses, with nearly constant aperture in them. The Minolta's zoom range (about 38-200 equivalent on a 35mm camera) would be fine for the type of shooting I do.
