Please update the thread when you do. My problem here in California is the reverse... we have harsh sunlight 90% of the year here. This makes the S5 pro my favorite CCD to carry mid-day as it is so forgiving under those circumstances. Look at this shot, I am 1/4000 at f/2.8.

Ha ha, where I live I could wait a thousand years to take a picture like that...

Of course  everyone knows how popular these cameras were with wedding photographers, and I reckon part of this was how the camera deals with white fabrics (the strong AA filter helps I guess) in harsh light.  Since digital took over I have always struggled to get really convincing pictures of snowscapes, particularly those rare days when the sun shines in a cloudless sky.

Anyway it won't be long - you know we say in Scotland there are only two seasons, Winter and June...
