yeah, so it actually arrived yesterday, but because the guy that normally receives deliveries at my work was at lunch (he normally brings parcels up to us), someone else received it and just put it in the pidgeon hole (i didn't think to look, especially since the ups site didn't say it was delivered until 10pm). checked it this morning, and there it was, everyone at work was really busy so i didn't pull the camera out and make a nuisance of myself by snapping pictures. just got home, and took a few quick snapshots, the focus feels real smooth and sharp, and it just feels right.
it's slightly smaller than my fa50, that's with the lens hood on, so yeah, i have a really nice, small, light travel kit now. i can't wait to take it mexico and really give it a good working over, hopefully i'll be able to get some good practice in before that too. that's definitely my last camera purchase for a while, i'm not sure what else i need (which is a good thing, cos i'd probably buy it 
). maybe the raynox macro converter (for greater than 1:1 macros), nothing else really.

those pics look pretty sweet... nice bokeh and very sharp. the lens hood looks funny

i did unsharp mask in the gimp, prolly over sharpened them, but there is that 3d kind of look.

well, the first one was sharpened more so, i dunno, i don't think it's going to affect me, but i think this lens back focuses.
