I think so Margaret. I did my research & this really did look like the best camera for my purposes. I found others that came close but they were either missing the continuous shooting (stopped at 10 frames) or something else. I think this will be good for close up shots of blooms as well.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
