Congrats!

As for Provia 400F bulk, it was going @ S$140 the last time when the shipment arrived. Currently there's none available, unless there's sufficient demand to ask CP to bring it in...

So, how much is it?

Congrats on your purchase. The vc-7 will add to the handling of the camera, although I find that I cannot access the spot AF button easily in vertical mode -- my thumb simply isn't long enough.

FYI...

Just saw full set of Dynax 7 + grip at Alex yesterday. Hehehe....was on leave yesterday.....

Very. I was hoping for around $900. Then I need only to top up around $500 or so........well...........have to go down and look see!

Well.. the lcd is useful for night shots where i would mount my camera on the tripod and see the settings in the dark. As my height is exactly to the shooting height of the camera....i do not need to tip toe and use a torchlight to look at the dials at the top.

As for the metering, the 14 segment metering also helps when i want to take photos which have a cluttered background which when using a wide aperture the blurring behind the subject will give different overlaps of different grey level thus good to have a feel if i need to shift or reposition the camera.......

Well its juz my views.....others may have a different use for it..

me

most camera setting are usually display on the LCD screen(top right of the body). Except for Dynax 7 it is on the back of the body. There are lot of infos display on the screen. Your area selection screen(on viewfinder also), your exposure compansation(on viewfinder also), your flash mode(on viewfinder also), your shutter speed/aperture(on view finder also), your drive mode (single on continuous), your metering mode(center weight, spot meter..etc). Your exposure history.

if you have the LCD on the top right hand of the body, do you use it? If the answer is yes, then answer will still be yes regardless where the LCD is. It is just a design thingy plus infos that can be displayed.

I use the exposure history most of the time. It record 7 rolls of film. Use it to study your photos.

Yupe! That is the very interesting thingy that I am after also. No need to record immediately after u shoot...........too lazy! BTW, the record can download to PC or something else to store or not? Cos if like go holiday and u shoot 17-20 rolls like I did, then 7-roll history still not enough!

you have to buy a data-memory adaptor to do that. otherwise, u need to key in manually into your PC or palm or laptop.
