Since then,I have been enjoying the camera tremendously. Ergonomics are great with the 'spot' instead of 'AEL' button. Flash and ambient exposures are nearly always perfect in program. Only mistakes are mine. The grip is a good accessory.
Functionality is flawless.
I've been debating for months now on whether to upgrade to a Dynax 9 or not, but I cannot seem to justify it based on camera performance. Only major complaint is the plastic and the overall build. I had to superglue it back. The plastic cover of the LCD also came off once. A few scratches on the grip because it is also in plastic.
