This camera was awarded TIPA Best SLR Camera for 2002-2003. Its priced at £229.90 at Jessops which is just perfect for me. How good is it? The main disadvantage with this camera is that the lens doesn't have focus distance scale printed on it. Without this is this camera meant mainly for autofocus use? I would like to use manual features too. How do you change the aperture? Having used a Pentax ME Super for years I am used to changing the aperture manually on the lens but I notice on this camera there is no aperture dial. Is it done by one of the digital button on the top or is it set automatically? I'm also confused by how to select one of the modes (P, S, A, M). Finally, is it worth buying this camera?
