That was my second guess, hehe :-D
He needs another (longer) lens :-)

He's jealous because with a camera I paid 200.00 for(refurbished by the manufacturer) I get better distance and better macros than his expensive dlsr!

Why? Does he want you to use his camera? ;-)

I am using an Olympus sp 590uz camera with an amazing built in zoom! For a point and shoot with some manual capabilities it works great

Another one I'd never heard of before.
wow!
Nice shot too!

Btw. that site I link to is pretty awesome for finding the IDs when you know the main species you are looking for.
I'm impressed :)
