Yep, I am digging it. I had been wanting one for a long time and found it last week on Amazon for $300, almost too cheap to believe. Well, it arrived and works perfect!

There are a few drawbacks that I knew about going in, the lens is f/4.0 (wanted at least f/2.8), the autofocus is slow (not the biggest deal for me), ISO range is limited and it is slow to process pics to the card. They were all trade offs for me for the price and considering I am using it for more landscape/street stuff it should be fine.

The pluses of course are awesome, with the Foveon sensor (SLR style), RAW capability, full manual control, not bloated with consumer artsy settings, and 14MP of goodness.

I will keep this one around a long time and perhaps pick up a new down the road once they come out with the next generation. For now, this thing rules and the portability can't be beat!
