Garth, Marvin
Thanks for the info on the battery life, that's very reassuring.
My camera indicates (with the 256 flash card) that I can get 479 images at JPEG basic, 252 images at JPEG normal, and 129 at JPEG fine.
If I switch to RAW medium it drops to 23. If I go to RAW+JPEG medium it drops to 21 (go figure).
Given the capabilities of these machines, and my own personal processing limits, it's going to be a while before I can absorb the first half of this. I feel like I just left the industrial revolution and landed on the other side of the bridge to the 21st century.
This thing tomorrow will be some trade off photos for my CPA's tax work, so I probably won't be manipulating them much.
When I got the camera home one of my concerns was whether I would be able to use my existing Nikon lenses. So I put the camera into auto pilot, strapped on one of my old zoom lenses and went out on the porch. This are my first photos, a study in red, white and yellow.
