The solarization is cool. A black border would set it off great too.
In PS, it sits on a nice charcoal grey background.

But here, with the pale background, I agree with you that a black border would work well.

I always think that my images look better on the charcoal grey background in PS and forget to compensate for the forum colour

If you use it as a travel camera, take the charger with you and charge every night. The battery itself is quite small (about 1/3rd the size of the Li-ion in the wife's Sony A200.)
Zoom is a bit hit and miss. With such a long zoom range, it's easy to overshoot your ideal focal length. I always use the viewfinder to compose the shot. This one, as usual, is electronic and not bad. Wouldn't it be great though, to have an optical viewfinder on one these??
Zoom stabilisation is impressive to say the least. Results seem pretty good, but given the choice, I'd take a picture with my K100D Super any day.
Just buy some spare batteries - the Hahnel versions are a good compromise between price and quality.

Zooming just takes practice

You could not get an optical viewfinder to work with such a huge zoom range.

The X70 is not intended to compete with a DSLR.

I think it is an impressive little camera - very versatile.

Ps. Can I make a request to all forum members - please do not start a thread with images taken by the DA*50-135. I cannot afford to be tempted further!
Must check through suitable DA* 50-135 images for posting

Chris,

I would really like a KX (film) purely for sentimental reasons if a nice one comes your way.
