I'll tell ya'll how it is after I use it a bit. It's an 8megapixel if you're wondering.

That's a real beast of a camera. Congrats and happy shooting!

Btw, that's one of the few cameras that can be modded to shoot infrared. A rare trait indeed.

You're a spoiled brat :D

:happyday:


real nice camera there. Don't forget to read the manual. Seriously. Each camera has it's own little quirks that can be discovered in the book that comes in the box. (I also download the manual to my computer.)

Now get out there and take some pictures :flash:

Holy cow, that's one hunk of camera! I assume we'll get to see some of the photos that come as a result of that lovely gift. :)

Agreed!^
Kinda funny though. My parents put out so much, and I had to pay the rest. It was pretty much a 50/50 split. So I speant a lot of time finding a good deal, and it hasn't come in the mail yet.
hahaha
BORK BORK BORK!

Hey James a big congrats, I consider you one of the premier photographers here and I'm sure once you get familiar with your new toy that you will be even tougher to beat. Enjoy! I bet you feel like a kid on Dec 23 wishing the days would go quicker.

Geez, I forgot to wish you a Happy Birthday, hope it was full of all sorts of nice happenings (besides the camera of course.)

I'm jealous now, and you know what that means, I need to go spend money. What were you shooting with before James??

This ancient piece of crap. http://www.chinaphotos.net/news/news/images/sony_dsc-p92_f-big.jpg
you should see mine. It's in very bad condition. Still works though so I don't care. I took 10000 pictures last year with it too. So I've gotten my money's worth of pictures plus some.
