It's a lovely camera to work with, even though it's an old model now with so few pixels, such noisy high-ISO results, etc etc. Well, I like landscape work, with the odd airshow thrown in, and when_the_light_and_conditions_are_lovely it takes such lovely photographs. Instead of chasing the gear rainbow, I'm learning to plan my shots, look for the light, fix the camera to a sturdy tripod and take my time.
Oh, and I got two spare batteries when I bought it – they're rarely needed. I use the histogram, exposure preview with blinkies and expose to the right, all that jazz. It's like the old days with film, just different; back then we looked after the shadows, not the highlights. Use this baby at its native ISO (100) and unless you're printing huge stuff it doesn't matter that it's an old model, 'cos it's still a golden model. I'll be shooting with this one for a long time yet.
It's the photographer who makes the photo, not the gear.
