Canon EOS D-60 ... happy owner's first impressions !

Yep, fellow friends, I got one !!!

The EOS D-60 is quite desperate to get here in Europe : not released yet in Switzerland at all,
unavailable for some times at (even very good) German e-stores through the Net,
waiting lists whereever you look and Canon delivering slooooooowly, if at all.

Well, then you need luck, and I got the nice peace, without even hoping for it, at a small
but very nice photo-equipment store in ... Darmstadt : I walked in, asked for fun
when he'd expect to receive the Canon EOS D-60 and the guy told me, "I have it in stock" ...

"No," I insisted, "you didn't get me right! I mean the new EOS D-60 not the older D-30."

He grinned, moved a step towards his display and ... took a brand new D-60 out of it.
And of course, it was mine a few seconds later ... even at a very competitive price
compared to the net. Thanks guys, I always said it : support your local stores !!!

What's it like ???

Tough to resist playing with it for two entire days, but I had no EOS objective at hand,
as I hadn't taken my photo gear on that week-end in Germany. - So you spend two days
daydreaming, reading the hand-book though and again, setting the CF functions and surfing
through the menus ...

But then , back home, the nice tests followed. - Marvellous wheather here in Zürich the second
day, managed to escape the office on time ...

Here's what came out !

None of the picture has been enhanced later on with photoshop or anything, they are exactly
as they came out of the camera, except for cropping and resizing or photostitching in some cases !

I'll add further comments on all ins and outs later on. For the moment, enjoy !
