Spoken by someone who *knows* about cameras...Thanks Jeff!
I agree with Jeff...experiment with your camera with all the cool settings that it has to offer...it's not like you're using film anymore...if it doesn't work...delete it!
I can't tell you how many rolls of film I wasted screwing around with my "regular" Minolta SLR when I first got it...just to see what would happen...though I do miss screwing around in the darkroom...and 'pushing' my film, too!
And to reiterate...get lots of storage...it's getting cheaper to buy every day...and get rechargeable batteries (my next purchase) or be prepared to buy them in bulk at Costco...get name brand ones...the cheapo ones suck!
