what an interesting camera... my wife is into cameras also and bought a Nikon
D7100 not that long ago. She's playing with different lenses and enjoying
mastering all the settings.

 pF> been tempted to take them out. The 995 gives me all of the control I'd

This sounds like a real plus. That said I still miss film :(

 pF> I'm going to take it out shooting to an old-school beach boardwalk
 pF> tomorrow, we'll see how that turns out.

have fun and let me know how you get on :)
