Super Telephoto Lenses

Reading this made me fairly happy with my canon digital camera, but now I wish it had more zoom in range, closer focus, and was waterproof. Honestly, the numbers and abbreviations of camera speak in the book still seem a bit like mysterious code to me, but I am starting to catch on. (hmm, this button says ISO, this button says Auto). Seeing all the cool pictures and tricks that happen when you know the code is incentive for me to stay with it.
