I'm disappointed that I haven't had much time to play with my new camera and tripod. Primarily because I need to get outdoors with it. Shooting things around the house is boring to me. I ready through the manual and realize that I could infinitely tweak the settings on this camera. I'm so impressed with the technology. The few photos I have taken show so much detail, that I' eager to get out and shoot, I just don't have much time. Handling this camera is amazing. Everything is perfectly placed for me. having dual control dials is something I'll always look for when buying a new camera. The in-body IS is terrific. I essentially upgraded all my glass when I bought this body. I amazes me that Olympus (and I think Sony) are the only ones with In-body IS. Live-view is something I'll probably use a lot more- now that I have a pull-out screen. Performance on that is getting very close to a point-and-shoot. I love it! It'll be perfect for macro photography. It also is a great way to manual focus (because it zooms in 10x when doing it).
I need to force myself to get to Letchworth this weekend.

Since I leave for Yellowstone in a few weeks I purchased the Canon Vixia HG20. It has some nice bells and whistles. Now I need a new computer to handle the HD...lol.

Actually we are driving, so we have plans to camp our way there through the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, and Devil's Tower. We are camping a few days in Yellowstone and one day we are staying at the Old Faithful Inn. One more day in the Tetons and then back home.backpacker wrote:Chris,

The Tetons are absolutely stunning. I'd love to visit Badlands someday.
