:) I saw them earlier they look great manual is the way to go my teachers said to me auto is banned get away from auto you are no longer allowed to use auto lol best lesson really it made me go find our more :D check out you tube Jared polin fro knows photo he is brilliant ;) the best book I've ever read which was like the bible for uni Langford's Basic Photography: The Guide for Serious Photographers
