Hank, here is a photo of the Nubble Lighthouse tower I took last April with my SONY Mavica FD87 using the zoom for comparison with whatever John comes up with. I left it large and didn't tinker with it at all, just put it in quick for you to see. I like my camera, think it went for around $400 but they probably have better/more expensive ones too. I also have a Nikon sitting in my closet that I never got the hang of, but that's probably just me!

(Fortunately I didn't spend a nickel for either one of these, one was a prize and one was a gift!)
