Nice one Inquitus!
I see you shot at ISO 100 (from metadata).. am wondering where a higher ISO been a better shout - see here!
But keep messing around with it.. I've played around with settings and took the same shot at different ISO's etc - just to get a feeling for it.
Few more purchases last night:
Picked up the AmazonBasics DSLR Camera Case found by lindtee earlier in the thread - very good reviews on Amazon and there's a great in-depth video review on the US site here (first review). Will fit the camera with a lens attached and a few accessories in the pouch. Grand for me.. and if I need to upgrade, I'll do that - but it's only a tenner don't want to go much bigger than that at the moment as I don't want to go down the bag / rucksack route just yet.
Because there's unlikely to be enough room in my bag for my second lens - said I'd pick up a little pouch for it so this was about €2.50 delivered.
Picked up a basic enough but well reviewed tripod Hama Star 61 with Carry Case for under €15.
Also took tatranska's advice and picked up a Hama Coated UV Filter.
Was all set to get a spare battery but went out of stock from Amazon direct!
Will keep an eye as I'm sure it'll come back in. Also keeping an eye on the Hama Lens Pen for my next order from Amazon.
Oh, and girlfriend had a $5 voucher for DX expiring at end of month so she said she wouldn't use it.. so picked up this for €5.50. Gimmicky? hell yes!
It's a coffee mug by the way!

I had an old Camera case that was my dad's from eons ago, with an old 35mm Olympus and a few lens, some silica in it too to keep the lens fungus at bay! Just enough room for the new Camera!
Think I need to get a Tripod next, hard to keep the Camera stable when zoomed in to 300mm.
My attempt at catching some urban decay!

I have the same tripod a few years. works well.
its worth picking up a backpack type bag for your kit.
don't get a small case or you risk your lens falling out.0 -

The video for the Amazon DSLR is well worth watching.. the camera fits in with one lens attached (as below):Thea Shallow Sawdust wrote: »its worth picking up a backpack type bag for your kit.

There's room in the three pouches for a few accessories but not a spare lens, so no risk of a lens falling out.
The reason I didn't go for anything bigger is am going to Malta in early August so want a case that will easily sit in another bigger case for hand luggage. You know what Aer Lingus are like.. "small camera bag / rucksack? That's your hand luggage!".
And it was only a tenner. Will keep an eye out for a slightly larger bag / rucksack in the meantime.. but no rush til after the hols.
PS - good to see so many people picking up bits and pieces.. think I may have started an epedemic alright. Outside of what I've picked up so far, a spare battery is probably all I'll pick up in the next few weeks.0 -

Just ordered the tripod, but to get free delivery added a decent lens hood and microfibre cleaning cloth by Hama.
Started off as a bargain but all these accessories are bringing the price up. All optional of course, only thing any of us needed to buy was an SD card. I've certainly went too far with accessories but that's me done for now 0 -
