Re: New camera
I treated myself to a Lumic Tz27. It too has a huge zoom 20x 14MP. It can even do 42 x zoom on some settings.Very complicated but it can do so much.
The manual which is on a PDF on the computer ( had to print it) is 196 pages long!
I got it before Christmas reduced to £175 from £370 (list price) with a £30 cash back. I had to jump through plenty of hoops to get the cash back.
Happy shooting!
a lovely first photograph with your new camera .We will be expecting lots of photographic contributions from you now

Re: New camera
It's a Nikon Coolpix L810 16 M.pixels with a 26x zoom. The number of pixels doesn't mean much if the optics aren't good, but this model seems OK.Taking the photo of the birds was awkward as the seed feeder kept swinging round so the birds just grabbed seeds and flew off. This photo was reduced in size form the original for use on the web, so it's lost a bit of definition.

For your next present to yourself buy a Sony eReader then you can put the PDF on to that and read it without having to print it out.
I keep all my manuals on mine, movie camera, still cameras etc my watch manual (changing it to daylight savings always has me buggered) even train and bus timetables.
Even if you have a paper manual most manufacturer websites these days have a PDF version to download. Much easier carrying an eReader about than several manuals and your favourite books.
