With the sun setting at my back, this view over Saratoga Passage to Camano Island is pretty close in color. The full 1600 x 1200 image is quite sharp from the foreground trees to the horizon. The LCD is quite sharp and clear in both playback and viewfinder modes, although we haven't had any time in direct sunlight so far. All menu selections are quite clear visually, although some aren't yet clear linguistically. Immediately to the right of the optical viewfinder, where they show in your peripheral vision, are LEDs for the flash and autofocus.
Solid red means the flash is ready to fire, flashing indicates the flash is still charging.
Solid green indicates focus lock, flashing means that the autofocus is still actively seeking focus. The Auto white balance setting didn't do too well under flurescent lights in the produce department, but see detail below in the garlic to see hand-held sharpness in garlic at center of image. The Digital Eyes Camera Timer shows that Nikon hasn't slowed the camera down. That's with the flash disabled. The memory system seems to have been worked on quite a bit, full-size images can be taken about every two and a half seconds.
