It's not something I've ever had on my wish list, in or out of the studio.

It's not an unimportant minority though, if it can be offered for some it might well be what they want.

I particularly like the last one, wire-sharp.

Interesting shot, highly effective.

You've got a point there Mongoose. Sometimes I give camera club talks exploring the menus of digital cameras, most of which are completely unknown and untried by the majority of the audience.

A few years back in Aberystwyth I was eating my pie and chips lunch and a couple at another table were opening their new camera box, dropping the contents everywhere and treading on their SD card. "I wonder what that is?" they asked. I wondered what the salesperson in Jessops thought they were doing selling it to them. They must have been in their late 70s and didn't have a clue what they had.

Algi, I'm flattered you noticed! Nobody is perfect, but such glitches are thankfully very rare and are soon revealed.

Available September and body-only price of £369 looks OK.

Please don't put e-mail addresses in the forum without disguising them - you may attract more spammers than you would wish for!

Personally, I think such a checklist and the suggestion that we follow it every time we start to shoot is very OTT. It's over-complicated and would IMHO serve to confuse rather than help.

If you want a checklist I'd suggest less esoteric language and simpler headings, and certainly fewer of them.

What a fantastic place to explore and shoot images! Many thanks for sharing.

It's possible to make things complicated where they can be very simple. My cameras are all set the same and stay set the same. Av, JPEG Premium, Daylight WB, Natural Custom Image. As I manually change the ISO to suit, the only thing to regularly check is that I'm not shooting a sunny landscape at ISO 51200!
