Hi everybody

This is my first post, I do not have D70, recenly my sister gave me Fuji S2 ( she upgrade to a smaller D70), and now I am entering a new hobby.At the moment I only have AFS nikkor 24-85 f1:3.5-4.5G that go with the camera when my sister bought it, and one old serie E 50mmmf1.8 manual lens.After years of using PS camera, this is a big camera for me and I still learning, reading the manual book . Being a newbie I do not have anything to contribute yet, but hope one I will.

Thank

Hien

Hello Hien, I recently got to 'test' the S3, and if the S2 preceeding it is anything like it, it's an excellent camera. Definitely in a league higher than the Xerox 20D...

What about the Kodak box, then?

Welcome Hien. You're welcome here with the S2. That was actually the camera I originally perferred to the D70, but it lets one down in the battery department.

Welcome aboard Hien.

Interesting camera you have there. Half Nikon N80, half Fuji hybrid. A good performer when compared to the Nikon D100 in the review at DPReview. So nice of your sister to pass on such a fine camera.

Cheers

Matt

Thank

Hi
Thank everybody for warm wellcome , that made me more confident to post.Last Xmas holliday, I went to visit my dad in VN( he is 93 years old that why I have to go every year). Stay in Singapore for a few days, then went to Hanoi VN, catch train goto VN& Chinese border, went to treking Sapa mountain 4 days, Back to Hanoi went to Halong Bay for 3 days , went along to the South by bus ( 1800 Km), to HoChi Minh City on the way also took lot of pics. Stay home with my dad a week, I flew to Bangkok, goto Patayya stay for a week then back to Hochiminh city, stayed home a few days then go to PhuQuoc A beautiful Island ...stay 3 days to go around beaches... Back to HochiMinh City, stay home for a few days and keep traveling to the south.....During that traveling period, took a lot of Pictures about 1000 pics along the ways with a PS camera( Pentax optio 30), and I droped my little camera into water. So my sister gave me hers to use when I went back to Australia, for my supprise she already got a D70, and told me that I can keep the S2 that a little big for her, that why i have the camera and most important I began growing a hobby how to take good picture.
Last few weeks I was very busy reading all the posts and found this board very informative , and helpful. Still keep reading manual...

Thank

Hien
