A UV filter can be helpful if you are at high altitudes where the UV levels are higher than normal, but most of the haze you are dealing with is water vapor or pollution, neither of which will be much improved with a UV filter. A polarizing filter can sometimes help since it reduces scattered light but it may also over blue the sky, etc. The best solution is to look for a time of day, week, or even year that the haze is minimal. Of course that is tough to do when traveling... The honest answer is no.

I take quite a few landscape type pictures in our travels. Haze in the distance is a huge pain in the you know what. I use a Canon S3 IS and it has a HOYA HMC UV (0) filiter on it. Trying to get rid of haze just takes so much post processing that I'm about to give up. Is there a filter that will help with this situation? Thanks, Shelley John,

I have a 50mm - 500mm zoom I use with a Nikon D200 DSLR for bird photos & I still wish it had more reach. If you are going to use a Point & shoot camera, look for the longest actual (not digital) zoom range you can find with image stabilization. A good place to start looking is at dp review's camera Feature Search web page - http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare.asp. None of the long zoom cameras are all that compact - the Canon S5 is a good example: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=144&modelid=15207 One thing all wildlife photographers is a longer lens.

We are wild-life (especially birds) watching enthusisasts and would like to be able to take good digital pictures of the wildlife we see. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good ditial SLR camera with appropriate zooms?? My wife and I have been using a small pocket-size digital camera for years.
