Congrats! One of my colleagues absolutely loves his V1!

Heh heh. I guess it isn't as useful as one might assume. GPS without WiFi or 3G won't work indoors, and maybe that's where most users take their pictures.

Agreed. The Powershot S100 comes to mind. IIRC there is also at least one coolpix with gps

I agree. It's crap. But it's my crap and I'm reasonably proud of it. :) If you think my equipment is expensive, you ain't seen nothing yet. Some of the folks here have lenses that cost 10x more than my most expensive lens. I do have a rather long list, but that's a result of not knowing what I...

Since you're asking about perfect lenses, my suggestion is to carry on with your current kit lens first to get used to composing and getting the shot first. Later on I'd recommend switching to a prime lens (say around 30-35mm) and zoom with your legs instead. Primes are less complicated, less...

I think stopping down helps. The image of his daughter seems very crisp, but the background is slightly oof. I personally like it that way but if that's the problem then stopping down to f/6 or so will help. Soe Wanna: If you're using P mode, you'd want to switch to Av mode so you have control...

Group buy! Group buy! :D
