[QUOTE="pnomanikon, post: 608909, member: 43342"] Camera arrived yesterday. Opened it up last night and charged the batteries (1 spare) and looked through all the settings. Wow! Lots to learn! I set up the tripod by our patio door this morning and took a few bird photos by the feeder. I will try to get those posted soon. Initial impressions: Camera seems a lot heavier than my old 8008s, but that was 14 years ago when I was younger and stronger. LOL My old eyes have a hard time focusing in on the viewfinder info screen, even though I adjusted the diopter to all positions. All the way + seems to be the best. I read some of the threads on that last night. Still looking for a way to set the focus for just one center focus spot. When I was experimenting this morning with birds in the bushes, it wanted to focus on everything but the birds sometimes. I will do more research on that. Overall, though, looks like a great camera that will last me a lot of years (if I don't be a klutz and drop it). Thanks. [/QUOTE]
