Some possible info you might include:
- 1) What Camera do you use?
2) Why did you buy it?
3) What do you like about it?
4) (update) at TasAdam's request - what gear do you carry?

A nicely framed interesting shot that is grainy and low res is still far better than a eleventeen megapixel RAW image of sod all

The relatively low resolution of the display makes it hard to make out the detail I'm used to seeing through the view-finder of my 35mm SLR (Canon Eos300 - tragically rarely sees light of day due to processing cost).

tastrekker wrote: Finally, my biggest gripe is the inability to manually focus. While I can make the manual adjustments for photography in low light, this is useless if the automatic focus cannot see.

It's not what you use, its the way you use it. I couldn't agree more.DaveNoble wrote:No tripod anymore - if i took one i would have to leave out the video camera. Instead i use a high ISO for tele or low light shots.
Hooray! After my post in the Photographing waterfalls - which way is best? discussion, I felt howled down for my non-tripod use. Now, Dave has made my day. I love his work and on-line photo-essays. As Son of a Beach has already said, check out Dave's Western Arthurs pics. Also compare his footwear with Dave's first Tassie walk in 1975.

I also have UV and circular polarising filters from the A70, but can't currently use them as I don't think the A700 has a conversion adpator. If I can eventually find one I'll carry those also.
Kind regards,
