Thanks for the reply and suggestions. I know I need to learn my camera better when I get one. With stuff like that i've always been a plug and play kinda guy that doesn't take too much time reading directions. This has probably hurt my photo skills a little in the past. The one thing i've always been kinda against is photoshop. In my eye I think if I photoshop a pic and send it to someone, i'm not giving them accurate pix. I'd rather take like 20 pix and pick one that represents the animal from what I see in person. Plus thats way too much computer time to learn how to use it well. I know it helps with a lot of other stuff also but like I said, i'm a plug and play kinda guy.

I do think you're right about the fact I should go to a actual camera shop where people know what they're talking about. I've always been the guy who doesn't mind paying extra for quality. Be it service or animals. I don't need anything too fancy just an upgrade to my old sony dc10 5 megapix. Looking into a canon with 12x optical zoom and 7.1 megapix. I just need to go to somewhere where they have a working test model cause the one they had at Fry's electronics wasn't working.

Anyways, thanks again Jeff and everyone else who has taken the time to give me advise and suggestions. They are very helpful!
