It's arrived...

It's in my hands, just great. FOr those of you getting one over the next few days, I cannot see anyone being disappointed by this camera.

Just waiting for the battery to charge...

Congrats Mark! Although you'd have thought they'd have charged up the battery for you at 3 grand a pop.

Any chance you could show us some 1250 black and white shots in the next few days?

Congratulations, Mark! I'm not too crazy about going digital, but heck, a new toy's arrival is always a good reason to congratulate and be congratulated.

I am looking forward to seeing real photos not "grab shots" taken with this camera.

Do you have any images that you are ready to post Mark?

We are all waiting!
