Hi Panny Forum, it's been a while since I've stopped in, but wanted to share my excitement over getting the new cam. Really love it and it will reside in my purse on a constant basis.

Took it out to the park for some practice this morning. Conditions weren't the best, awfully bright sky and it was really HOT by 10:00am. Here are a few that I liked:

The entrance to the walled garden:

Some very purple berries:

It'll take a little practice to learn the "quirks" and how to get nice shots without manual controls, but so far I am happy. Most shots I left color mode in "Standard," a few on "Vivid" and one or two in "Natural." Had to use -EV a lot and still clipped highlights because of the bright day.

Comments and advice are very welcome. Thanks for taking a look.
