Took it out today as it was a near perfect blue sky with a little bit of fall color around. Because my CF card is small (512MB) I just kept it on JPG and X-Fine. Also, right now I am very bad at RAW editing.....I just can't seem to do any better than the camera!

I have noticed a few issues, though.

1. If I am indoors and there isn't much light the LCD displays in black and white.
2. Sometimes. even though the focus lock white dot is displayed, the camera will not fire.
3. The last few images I tried to take today would not focus at all. I got the red dot on subjects that were clearly defined and should have been an easy lock.

But, like the A200, I'll keep on working with it until it totally fails. I still like the OOC color!

Just an example: This gave me a red focus dot but should have been in focus

I think what you are experiencing is the state of the art back then.  focus capability is the area where the most innovations have happened in the last few years.
