I dusted off my late fathers old P30n at the weekend and loaded it with some Velvia 50. Finally had a break in the weather and so I stopped on the way into work this morning and took some shots of the sunrise. Hopefully I'll get some of the sunset on the way home too.
Anyway, just thought I'd give a plug for the little camera. Its a joy to use and often seems to be over looked by most people.
Any other fans here ?
Cheers,
Ian

Just go to back to my original post, am I the only person here who finds it amazing it will be possible to put 2 TB on a card that small ? The micro SDCX card is just 15mm x 11mm x 1mm.
Perhaps I'm just getting old. When I went to secondary school our computer science department consisted of one Commodore PET 2001, which only the brightest students were allowed near. (I was not among them !)

Hi Kris,
A good replacement for the M200 might be the A70-210 f/4 zoom. They are very common on ebay and so normally don't cost much. An excellent lens, that works very well on both film cameras and the K10D. I'm not able to do a side by side comparison, but I suspect at the long end it might actually out perform the M200.
Just a thought anyway,
Cheers,

Does anyone else out there find it hard to believe the next generation of SD cards will have a capacity of up to 2 TB ?
To be honest I find it staggering.

Here is best source of information. The owners manual.

Seems my combination of A400 and 2x-s can cause some vignetting at the corners. I can't say I have noticed it though.

I've never thought about it before, but I notice the lens does not have SMC printed on it. Does that mean they did not have the magical coating ?

Fantastic - perhaps you can try the same thing with a camera body sometime ?

M = Memory, check the card is in the camera, not the lap top !
E= Exposure , Av, program, what ever
S= Speed, ISO
S = Shake, on / off
