Congratulations on the upgrade, Artur. > I really enjoy the new (to me) camera, especially a tiny gadget - > an iluminated LCD, which I really missed when working with the > Program A. This doesn't need to be used often (fortunately, because it eats up batteries rapidly, as Bob mentioned), but it is very useful on occasion. It really should not have been left out of the Super Program/A. > TTL-flash is also a nice stuff. Yes, once you've used TTL flash, "you'll never go back" - <g>. > The main controlling switch is not as easy to operate as the one > of the Program A, but it's not a big problem. Agreed. The function dial in the Program Plus/A is so much easier to use - one finger can press the button and turn the dial, almost with one simple motion. (It seems to take a thumb and two fingers - for me, at least - \with the Super Program/A.) Because of this, while I use LX's and Super Program/A's for 99% of my terrestrial shots, I use a pair of Program Plus/A's (one of each) for my dedicated whale watch bodies - so much easier to operate on a moving boat while also holding on to prevent falling over - <g>. (Unfortunately, it does not appear that the Program Plus/A's function switch dial can be "retrofitted" to a Super Program/A.) You probably will appreciate the faster shutter speeds once in a while, too, Artur - both the top 1/2000 and the faster X sync. Fred
