4G, the animal life I was hoping to capture on 'film' are timid creatures so getting close would be a problem ie deer, foxes etc also close up of fauna, insect life and such like! This is very confusing to a rank amateur like me, trial and error is a certainty, I just do not want to be put off by getting the wrong camera and sickening myself because I can't use it to it's capabilities. Some of the things I have seen while sitting on the river bank or fishing lakes or even chasing a small white ball round the golf course,well these sights are once in a lifetime and not one caught on camera! Maybe a camera club will be helpful,do they still exist?
