Very nice shot and great detail in the zoom! Check a zoom test I posted earlier with the FZ30. At this link, http://www.stevesforums.com/forums/v...by=&page=4

I should have put "Eiffel tower" is the name of the post, as it seems that there are not so many persons interested about it....

The zoom is great! And you have achieved a nice , sharp shot!

I wonder fi the builders of the Eiffel Tower would approve wiht all those added comminications areials and satellite discs which seem to be there now?

The antennas add about 10 meters to the height of the construction,they are very impressive. As I know, they are so powerfull that, when an intervention is neccessary, they have to cut them off....

But wise, if you don't have a great zoom :Gyou can hardly see them from the ground...
