A wander around Pyrmont today

New camera arrived so I went for a wander around Pyrmont to have a play. All taken around 1pm with horrible overhead sun. Shot in JPG as I was just out to get used to the camera, A mode, WB adjusted between sun and shade, sometimes even before I'd taken 2-3 shots with it wrong, everthing else pretty much as it came out of the box.

All with the 50 1.4, just resized OOC:

Glad you took it for a spin today, #2 is my favourite. How are you finding the ergonomics ?

Oh I am in luuuuurve. Playing with the D200 briefly was enough to know I'd like this one, but it's already feeling so good in the hand. Honestly things are so easy to use the idea of doing a lot more things manually, rather than letting the camera decide, is appealing. Mind you it seems you could also tune this thing to a pretty efficient idiot mode as well, perfect for when the amber ale is around!

Oh, and 6fps for ages vs 3fps for about 1.5 seconds, well it rocks. Even if I did have the 50 on and no need for it...

At some point I'll even read the rest of the manual, only got as far as the basic controls to date.
