Yesterday I was outside when I spotted this cicada:

 

 

 

Took those with my Olympus SP-590UZ with Macro mode.

Yup! I wanted a computer bag business-travel camera that would shoot a step up from the HX5V when needed. So far, I'm really impressed! The shots were at ISO1600 and they look better than my A700 at ISO800! The build feels more like a watch than a compact camera. I also had a chance to compare the old interface with the new one as it came without the firmware update. Night and day. The new menu system makes it very quick and easy to use. Oh, one other thing...it's tiny! The body is about as tall and thick as my HX5V and about a half inch longer. Hard to believe there's a DSLR-sized sensor in there! One great bonus is that all of my Sony and Minolta lenses can be used with the A-mount adapter I ordered with it, though it looks a little silly mounted on the 70-200 f/2.8!

 

Pretty little thing!:

 

Adapted to my A-mount Lensbaby with the Droid X added for scale:

Lovin' it so far!

Indeed, nice camera and photos. I am impressed with it's high ISO performance. I tried an E-PL1, but found that style of camera just isn't my style. Course, I don't have any business travel anymore. :D

I didn't exactly get "out", but I took a few shots around the house:

 

 

 

 

Can't you tell that she just loves having me point a lens at her?

Good for you! I had high hopes but we got all of out annual precipitation over the last few days and the moon's performance was hidden from our view!

It was nice and clear here. Your rain is insane - I'd be wondering if I needed to build an ark in my backyard.
