Hi All,

Name is Dawn-I've been a lurker pretty much around the board.
Teacher by calling, Photographer at heart.

Just got the Pro1 delivered Friday afternoon. While I was running
around buying necessities like; uv filter, spare battery, new
neckstrap, I stopped by a nature park near my home. Couple of
converted RAW files, Digital Zoom shots, Super Macro, Macro and one
quick snapshot of a 'moment'.

I'm still reading the manual, but experimenting too. I have a
hunch, once I really learn my way 'around' the camera it's going to
be fabulous. (ie: trying to rapidly get to super macro-etc-scroll
up not down-but dang, I wish there was a shortcut to it! ie: two
rapid presses on the macro button or a 3 second hold on
it-SOMEthing-but I'll live lol.)

Couple of pleasant surprises is the nice Manual Focus and the
digital zoom was a lot crisper than I was expecting. I also really
liked the results of a couple of pictures I've taken in 'portrait'
mode.

Prior camera I'd been abusing was an A-40. I feel like I have a
real camera again since my Pentax was stolen years ago. All my
motherly camera instincts kicked in.. Get a filter on this puppy
and a decent neckstrap! (now to get a real bounceable flash and
life will be GOOD)

Now, to go annoy my cats some more by sticking the camera in their
face. ;D awn

Grin Summerwind-

You know.. I did hesitate for a split second, thinking of all the
autofocus complaint's I'd been reading, but just for a second.. and
considering I was on single shot, portrait mode.. (poor abused
camera) but, HAD to take the picture. Way too classic. And figured,
what the ....LL.. It's DAYlight. hehe.

btw, thank you for the welcomes. ;D

Funny story-My reaction Friday, in the teacher staff lounge.. (as
in my classroom that morning, I'd been idling by the computer every
10 min-hitting refresh on the UPS page-eating lunch later, popping
out of my seat to see if the UPS truck was here... every 5
minutes..)
When it was 11:25 and I had 5 minutes left.. Secretary came up to
get a treat, and I have joking asked if my package had arrived.. (I
was already standing getting ready to leave) Secretary went, yah,
came 5 minutes ago-

I flew out of there, (RAN) out of there, yelping "BYE" and behind
me I heard the giggles and delight of my co-workers who had never
seen me move that fast....

Good thing the battery had to charge, I would have never survived
the rest of the day with the kids 1 1/2 hours from spring break,
crayola model magic, markers, glue and chocolate all being
dispersed.. (IE: MUSTN"T open camera yet) but, as soon as they
left........... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

oh man... saw the converter thread too.... course, that was a
salient buying consideration.... hmm.. one camera to do most of
what I need it to do, good experiance with my A-40, a REAL lens,
REAL DOF, (lord, I'd missed those) and I love the flip it LCD
panel- everyone knows I have a digital camera and as soon as I take
their picture.. "Let me Seeeee, Let me Seeeee" I wasn't always able
to retract the lens fast enough and constantly had to be on
fingerprint guard. I'm really looking forward to taking pictures
of my students, flipping the lcd to show them the picture, and as
they giggle-opps! I hit the shutter button!
