As far as spontaneous creativity is concerned, the old camera wins...

a) it's got a macro built in
b) I didn't mind one bit if the lens got sooted up (doing shots like this)

both issues that I'll have with the new camera.

But look, I'll stop whining about it now - it's just that I knew my way around the old one like it was the back of my hand. At least I've found how to assign ISO to a button so I can now easily control Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO without having to move my eye from the eyepiece (earpiece I was going to say - whoops!).
