Intrigued by the locations and wondering if they might include canal basin or 'The Sheffield Tap' (v. Atmospheric and on the station). I will pretend to be looking at Sheffield like an outsider.
I wonder if any of the locals might have any unwanted copies of 'The Star' from earlier in the week. I was hoping to buy a couple of copies tonight for Northern Rail promo tokens but they seem to have finished printing them now.

Ha ha -- sometimes if I didn't get the ball in the right place near enough the Sports Writer used to 'cheat' and cut out a ball and stick it on the print where HE wanted it then the print would go for letterpress block making and pic would come out in the paper looking 'Perfec' all BEFORE PhotoShop was invented !!

I was interested to read in "The Observer" a week and a half ago, that Sheffield is prominent in the provision of public art. The 'upturned tuba' outside The Children's Hospital (outside the city centre) and numerous sculptures and relief carvings were mentioned.

Lens-wise, 28 or 35 for city-scapes or 50 mm for distant/close-up.

The flip-out screen concerns me, never having required the like as I don't shoot macro. Why do we need it with the wi-fi connection to mobile devices.
The ISO range looks useful as does the GPS but the deal-breaker will be the AF performance.
