At both places took the plastic out and started.
Felt badly for J&R guy. We stood in the store for about
30 minutes going over the camera(s).
He was the one that basically sold me on the idea of that
model, Made a few mistakes that hurt but they were honest ones.
Knew as we were discussing it, that I would go online.
Even later, called him to clarify point, polite and respectful.
Off the phone with him, on the phone to the online place.

This whole thing of substitutions existed well over thirty years ago.
Camera magazines were the online bazaars of the time.
Had to read the small print.

Problem now seems to be that there are a lot more factors
involved.
Who would think they would sell a camera and not include the manual.
the cord to connect it to the computer. Non essential stuff like that:D

One big difference , in my favor, was that they did not have communes
like this where you could bounce the idea around and receive great suggestions and advice:+1:

If the camera sucks, you are all to blame:D

I think it’s just him, the camera and a mirror.

Glad to see you asked the right questions. Good luck with your purchase. You’ll love the camera:+1:

First and foremost, again, large thank you to everyone
who advised.

Camera arrived today!!!

Long time ago, during my drinking period, took flying lessons
( cessna). Some of the manuals for plane etc were the absolute worst
I had ever seen, until today.
The manual is about 286 pages long. ( did not know a camera could
make toast:D )
Got it set up and did a few shots in automatic mode. Will take a few weeks
to get this really cooking.
However.
One of the main reasons I bought this camera was the ability
to shoot in the “raw”
First test shots were in this format.
Camera is worth it, thank you all again

“L”, to tell you the truth I was extremely anxious.:o

Had gone through so much talking about it, thinking about it,
debating it, asking opinions etc. For a minute forgot what the
whole thing was about.
To make a confession, have just ordered another lens and the ac adapter.
With a little luck, the “new kid” is here to stay…

To cut to the chase there are dozens of knobs, settings, etc.
But.
You can set one button to automatic, and at that point it is a “point
and shoot”.
Having read a lot of the manual it will be on that setting for awhile;)

With any kind of luck, considering the location of this section, only those
that helped originally will see this.
If by accident someone else stumbles this far, my apologies, this is not a photographic
site and you will not see my vacation pictures or photo’s of the “young and cute”.

Camera works far beyond what I had hoped for.

The attached image is 2/3 of a work done for a customer. The total image was not
sent for several reasons One “layer” however ,is zbrush.
One of the tires was photographed and mapped and modelled in zbrush and faded in
black and white and is the background.

Paid for 40% of camera.

( Philosophy: Zbrush and programs like it are my hobby, I do it for fun. If I post an image

and you can use it, welcome to it. If you wish I will send you the original:lol:

Photography is where I live and breathe. If you use my photos without my permission the following will happen.
My lawyers and I will track you down. In the middle of the night I will mutilate, butcher and process the bodies of you and your family. I will giggle uncontrollably. The screams will be music to my ears.I will then stop at the local drive in and eat two Big Mac’s. large fries, shake and go home and sleep for eight hours.)

think that covers it.

One more time, my thanks to all that contributed to my decision.

Wowza, considering that the photo’s are compressed and mangled by Jpeg the great, they are still superb. Hope you get the other 60% together soon 8-).
