Rex! Thank you! That was exactly the kind of clarification I needed. Being new to this, I'm still not clued in as to the latitude of the various settings. Knowing I can stop action at 1/200 is giant information. And, knowing that f/8-f/11 is sufficient for DOF between the front and back of the bird really gives me something to work with.
This is such a great forum - and I really appreciate everyone's help here.
BTW, Rex - the view from your office window is Cozumel? I'm SO jealous! That's heaven on earth!
