The colors looks great. I look forward to seeing more photos soon. Have you taken any flash photos yet? Hopefully, this camera does not exhibit the same red eye flash problem as the 2500.

I noticed that the EXIF information said ISO 50 at all the pictures. Is that the default speed and is that adjustable?

I have posted a close-up photo with flash from my wife too, the (minor) problem stays ...

I pre-ordered it (begin june) in my photo shop (Antwerp). I knew that it was difficult to get one.

No, i'm sorry. This is my first 2Mp camera. I bought it because it is handy, cheap, full automatic but with the possibility off a lot of manual settings. The pictures i had taken with, are much better (of course) than my previous (digital) cameras. Once you have learned how to work with, it becomes easy to use. Maybe a minus point is that your preference settings must be set again by every "off-on". (i mean measuring light -matrix, spot or center weight and under/over exposure)

yes, it is the standard sensivity equivalent, it can be changed (automatic) to max ISO 100.

Koen,

Is it possible that you post some images taken at night? Like a nightlife scene and/or a low light indoors. I'm between buying a 2500, 2000, 880 or a sony dcsp-51 and I would really want to know if the new 2000 corrects the NIGHTmares of the 2500.

Thanks,
Luis.

Luis,

Sorry I had no nightlife scenes yet. The only image i have now was taken in a church, all settings auto except the flash (was set to "off"). I was leaning against a wall (no tripod). you can review the color. I have it posted on pbase.

I have some problems with unsharp night photos.
I think there are caused by long exposure times and low ISO.
Camera is setting ISO150 very rarely. And exposure times
in the night are typically 1/10s (in your last photo even 1s).
So camera shake is very possible and photo is unsharp.
I partly solved it by using BSS function.
Tripod would be ideal solution.

I have one more question. How many photos you can do
with 1 set of batteries?
I have only 700mAh NiCd and I do 25-40 photos
and I plan to buy better ones.
I don't know if I should buy NiCd or NiMH.
NiCd are not popular because of the memory effect,
but I read that NiMH 1200mAh last same time as NiCd 1000mAh.
What do you mean?
