Hi Roger. Some good advice above which I can't really add much to, but I think it's difficult to go for a 'look' if you are photographing different subjects all the time. You also have to careful because a 'look' can make all your pics look a bit samey. It might be worth doing a search for...

Welcpme, It sounds like you'll fit right in.;) This is how I imagine Arkady's and Fracster's first posts were .:D

Hi DelS1, You might have just been unlucky on the batteries you've just put in. I did a quick search on google for kx using batteries too quickly and there were a lot of hits to do with types, how well charged etc, so do the same search, have a read and see if any of it helps...
