No kill like overkill, eh? Wowza. Colour me envious - I'm still using my now-quite-dated Nikon D50 body, albeit with a rather tasty VR lens on it. Not sure if you've seen it, but Ken Rockwell's site - http://www.kenrockwell.com/ - is an excellent resource for (re)learning photography. Not so pretty a website, but the content is very good. Man knows his photography, and he's good at communicating about it. Ken's more a Nikon man, but the basic skills are all the same. btw, you can pinhole a digital camera in the same way you pinhole a film camera - buy a plastic body cap for a few quid, then use a pin to make a hole in it. Shoot manually. Bada-bing. :) Blimeh, an S5 pro! No kill like overkill, eh? Wowza. Colour me envious - I’m still using my now-quite-dated Nikon D50 body, albeit with a rather tasty VR lens on it.
