Hope to meet you in the field soon! The new camera just came in the right time! : Though its not the best bird season... :roll:

Yes, kk. Not a bad bird for the first light of my camera! : I must say I am so far very pleased with this camera. I feel confident of using my teleconverters even without stopping down. I feel comfortable in using iso800 or even iso1600. Have a much better view finder, more responsive camera.... you should jump in and join the fun too... :
