I got the camera on friday which was a long wait from the preorder placed when the camera was first released back in Feb.
Well like a kid with a new toy I set out to do a photographic shoot.
Locations were the fabulous Mt Tomah Botanic Gardens and Mt Wilson in NSW in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney and not that far from where I live.
The camera is nothing short of amazing and it is clearly the most advanced imaging machine I have ever had.
Super sharp right out of the camera, colours sensational, autofocus a dream, LCD display crystal clear and vivid accurate colours, lightweight,
and packed full of features to have me studying the manual for weeks to come!
Simple and intuitive to use though. I found apart from a few major layout differences to my Canon 20 and 40D it was quite straight forward. In some ways better than the Canon layout and in others not but probably just a matter of getting used to the different layout approaches. Both Canon and Nikon in my opinion do a very good job of laying out the controls and the menus.
The Nikon lenses I have are proving to be super as well.
Here are 2 of the first images I have processed (a bit of learning curve using the supplied Nikon software (view NX2) but its actually very very good software - I like it).

I have taken quite a few photos but haven't had the chance to process them.
I also intend doing some cityscape photography tomorrow and I will be sure to include a few targets that are likely to display moire.
This camera exceeds my expectations and has revitalised my interest in terrestial photography.
