I was going to settle down and buy a house, but I wanted to send my family pictures of the new house. That's when I found the Canon 1200mm f/5.6L lens. I instantly fell in love with it. My wife left me and I have no house, but this piece is worth every penny!

Reminds me of the reviews on the Sigma 200-500mm lens.

Hello, is anyone (I guess by "anyone" I really mean Something Fishy) able to explain to me the difference between "Intelligent Auto" and "Superior Auto" modes on a Sony a5000. (Yes, I just recv'd mine after buying it from the deal that was posted here- thank you!). I read the manual but that was no help. Thanks.

Intelligent is where the camera chooses the best scene mode to use.

Superior is where the camera takes a series of pictures and combines them into one, keeping the sharpest/best exposed/etc. parts of each.

In general superior will give you a better picture, but it doesn't work at all for moving subjects. If something in the picture is moving use intelligent.

Even better, learn how to use the PASM modes - those will give you far better control over your pictures.

I got the NEX-5TL bundle for $349+ $40 for the case/viewfinder. I returned the $40 package and they credited me for the full value of $149!

Any opinions on this deal?
http://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/cameras/refurbished-powershot-digital-cameras/powershot-sx50-hs-refurbished

Or this?
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EFILPHA/ref=psdc_330405011_t1_B009B0MZ1M

Worthwhile? How are these cameras as an upgrade from point and shoot?

This is still a point and shoot, just with a huge zoom. Will have typical P&S image quality.

The second link. It's different camera.

For some reason I only saw one link first. In any case, that's pretty much the same camera but with a smaller zoom.

My bad, I added the second link right after I posted. Thanks for the input.

If you want to get really into photography and are looking to start out, yes.

If you just want a great camera for family pictures etc., wait for the a5000/5100 to go on sale. I expect it to hit around $300 in the near future.
