A new toy!

I'll let you know what I think after I play around with it a bit.

Brian C. Baird,
looking forward to seeing some of your work with it
because I just broke down & ordered an A95 too. The only potential
problem is that mine may be "smoke scented" because I ordered if from
B&H. After I placed the order I came here & read about the fire next
to the B&H warehouse, which supposedly only suffered minor water
damage.

However I have great faith in B&H's reputation & am more than
willing to wait a few days longer than their usual quick order
processing. If nothing else, I may nick-name it Smoky. <LOL>

If you get a chance please take & post a picture in "postcard"
mode with the "date & time stamp" turned on, as I have yet to see a
picture of where it prints in the frame & don't know what color Text
it uses.

Best of luck with your A95, I am certain I will enjoy mine
since I have been very pleased with my A40 & A70. The "C" (Custom)
mode will be new & I plan on using it to lock-in a manual focus
setting to make it work @ a hyper focal setting of my choosing.

Here is a link about how somebody did this with his A80 which
has 2 "C" settings (C1 &C2). Even though this article as written
about the A80, most of it will also apply to the A95.

Hope you & or others find it of value.

I'll see what I can do tomorrow when I give it a work-out.

I'm still browsing through the manual. For a little Point and Shoot it
does have a lot of features. Luckily the menus are pretty easy to
navigate and the buttons tend to make sense.
