Tele-Conversion Lenses solve the wide angle problem
on the FZ30. However, going up to 420mm optical would be
enough for most people; plus the extended zoom at 5mp.
I see no advantage of the more expensive Fuji S9000, even with
its bigger sensor, extra 1mp, and wider lens.

As for the motronome being frozen: my Kodak C330 could freeze
the blades on a fan at Low speed at ISO400 and exp.comp. at -2.
Ifcourse, the same is done using flash.
