What's this on my porch? A box from FedEx!

Got back from my birthday "party" last night after an afternoon of climbing at the gym (still pulling 5.12's and kicking the "kids" butts) and a nice dinner with Natasha and found my delayed Fuji S2 on my porch.
After an afternoons practice, here's my results:

Full frame straight from the camera, default settings, RAW to TIFF,60mm micro,ISO 200, NO PS enhancements !

And it crops down pretty well also. (straight from camera...etc,same as above)

This evening I tested the TTL compatability with my old flashes (Thank you Julie !)

Different lens but same as above,straight from camera,default, no PS ! Looks like my old flash works fine !

"Cat Eyeball" cropped from above but "nothing !!" else

So far, I am pleased. I don't think the autofocus is quite as accurate as my N90s. The body+lens is much lighter than my N90s. I can't handhold my favorite lens, the 105 macro anymore as the 1.5X lens factor shows up all my shaking, but the 60mm looks pretty nice. TTL funtion w/all of my old film gear looks fine. There is a very distinct difference between my film scans and the digital images ! I still haven't decided which is 'better". I still need to do a side by side/ same shot comparison.

This is my "Sumo Cat" (21 pounds) guarding my camera gear.

Eye am impressed! It's the cat's meow! The bee's knees, even! I hope you have a honey of a time with it.

As I have an Ike housing for my N90s with ports for every lens I own; if I decide to house it,it would probably be another Ike.
