Thanks for the posts, Eugene and Ngaire. Your trips is fascinating and I can hardly wait for ROAR 2.
Eugene, I recently bought a Panasonic Lumix, DMC-FZ7. It's probably not as advanced as your Panasonic but is plenty for me. So far I'm happy with it on auto-setting. I have two years to learn about F-stops!
Hope you saw the male lions and Eugene's hyena.
