Yeah, and that's why they take awesome photos, even when using long telephoto
lenses and other sophisticated lenses - the manufacturing quality is very high,
and you get what you pay for.

I'd also love to connect a DSLR to my telescope for some deep sky photography,
but then would also need the tracking motor for the telescope, because any
exposures longer than a few seconds will show the rotation of Earth. 


And moving back to sport for a second, here's a video of me in action on both
track and fire brigade competition.  It's a few years old, and my performances
have improved since then. :)
