This is why most serious photographers on Safari carry Pro level Canon or Nikon DSLR's with massively heavy zoom and long lenses. In spite of these capabilities, I make no secret of the fact that in general I do not like these cameras. In my humble opinion, they are too big, too heavy, suffer from horrible ergonomics, suffer from "feature creep" with too many buttons and also suffer from ridiculously convoluted menus. I also find that the auto features in these cameras, such as auto focus and auto exposure fail for me the vast majority of the time..." I like this guy. More that I agree with: his "Tips and Suggestions to Improve Your Wildlife Images". Read, absorb, but don't copy. Develop your own technique, but whatever it is stay outside the box.
