    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    That bird just jumps off the screen--looks like it is two inches from me, and I can see every detail. Wonderful angle, expression and personality, not to mention terrific colors! Best, Pam

    Really a nice shot. Great detail.

    I've had a V1 for a while and IMO it produces images comparable to the D200. Great travel camera. I laughed at cautionary comments in the manual about being careful not to poke yourself in the eye when adjusting aperture or ss. Then I used the camera and found it not so funny eek7.gif Locating the controls with your thumb with an eye to the viewfinder is a challenge headscratch.gif I don't use it enough to ever really get a feel for it.

    I'm OK with IQ and really needed a viewfinder equip, quiet, smallish & interchangeable camera.
    So far so good.

    Thanks
