First Pictures with the Nikon 900

All of these pictures were taken using the camera's "Normal" setting on 16 July 1998.

Ye cats. I am in a quandary about this new camera. Here are my observations about using the camera itself:

• Since I'm used to the Olympus D-500L's controls, all the controls are in the "wrong place" for me. This will pass with time.
• In low light conditions, the LCD is useless; in normal light conditions it's far more convenient than I thought it would be; I really like it.
• The Macintosh connection software is primitive. I really would like an Adobe Photoshop plugin. It doesn't give a good indication of progress as it loads the thumbnails, so it seems much slower than it probably is.
• Reviewing the pictures is a very s-l-o-w process unless one chooses to view them nine thumbnails at a time.
• I'm concerned about the clarity of the pictures; see the last picture below.

Here's a picture of my number one most devoted photographic subject, Tabitha the cat. The large picture is 133K.

Here are the refrigerator magnets, taken with flash. This was done so you can compare it with the ones taken with the Olympus D500 and Kodak DC120. The large picture is 95K.

Here's a macro shot. The LCD looked like it was in focus -- obviously it was not.

Finally, this shot of some bushes in front of my house.

As of 18 August 1998, I have removed the larger picture, which is 260K bytes. It was just my inexperience with the camera that made it look so gosh-darned awful.
