Great camera!

This has been a great camera for me. I am a novie, I'd always used the auto modes so getting this, I felt I would be able to learn and experiement having the manual mode and I definitely have learned a lot. Great battery life. I did a shoot of around 380 pictures on a single fully charged battery, I shoot mainly in High quality jpg and standard jpg. Processing time can be a little slow at times but nothing I usually worry about (unless in raw or tiff modes). There is shutter lag but that was fixed somewhat in the latest firmware update as well as the auto focus and it appaears to be better. Overall I love the camera and I would recommend it to anyone.
