Holy crap, I want mine NOW!! Hoping to get mine in the next few weeks, but I am actually too busy to even think about it - at least the bank balance will be looking healthy enough pretty soon though...
t.x.

My first thought was that it was defective and wouldn't autofocus. As usual, I'd forgotten to set the diopter to "almost blind." Once I realized that I was the only one not focusing, I shot a few pics at ISO 6400 and 12800, just for grins. I converted them from RAW with the default ACR settings. No additional sharpening. I did increase the exposure a bit on the coke sign, since the largely white background let it slightly under. Have yet to check exposure for any necessary standard comp setting, but it looks pretty close. I also have to check autofocus calibration for all my lenses. I hate that job, but consider it a necessity with any new camera. Maybe tomorrow. Anyway, ere are a few pics. All are with the DA* 16-50. This is ISO 6400, f4, 1/125th: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=11890890 100% drop of same frame: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=11890891 This frame is ISO 12,800, f4 1/50th.
