    Thanks for the speedy replies everyone! :D I'm checking to see now if it is the OS version, and as you all have said my only worry seems to be the AF. Guess I am just going to have to play with it and see exactly how bad it is, seeing as I like to shoot with a 'photo journalistic' approach...

    How to obtain similar results

    I have been browsing a photo blog of a local photographer, and am blown away by his processing. Could anyone guide me in the right direction to get shots like this, they seem to be cross processed but its the 'summery' tint that I love. Any help? :) http://www.guywithcamera.co.za/blog/zanzibar/
