R1 Monument Photos

The specs on screen size are not impressive on paper, but I've had no complaints with using it because it is very bright and pretty good resolution. Yesterday I used it to manual focus once or twice in the sun and had no problem. The range of angles I can get are also great. As I've mentioned, I was with another photographer. He was laying on the ground, on his knees, getting under things, squatting a lot... I rarely had to leave standing to get all the same angles. The best example was inside the cathedral, which was really low light. I was able to just set the camera on the pew in front of me and casually compose my shot. He would have had to kneel/squeeze in an awkward twist with the fixed seating to get his eye to the eyepiece and then balance the camera from there on the long exposure.

This camera rocks, just make sure that you can live with the telephoto range, rapid-fire modes and slow RAW writing on quick shooting. Other than that, this is one cherry of a camera.

In reference to where you live - it's not what you've got, it's what you do with it. Got here from your macro post SJshooter(many thanks for that) and I'm glad I did.
very nice... a good eye.
cheers
