Thanks Phil :-) I bought the fuji shortly before this trip and had planned to return it to the shop as I didn't find it fitted my needs due to poor parallax when using the finder. Then, I simply forgot the deadline and was left with the camera on my hands and so decided it would make the trip along with the D700. And I used it A LOT there ( nearly filled a 32 GB card...) and I even used the backscreen for composition. The Nikon was banging on my stomach as I sneaked the fuji out of my pocket for happy or stolen snaps. All in all I had tremendous pleasure using it, even though I knew the IQ would be no match to the D700 ... I'm in the process of downloading the nikon files, and I was right, unfortunately. But boy, this packet of cigarettes sized camera is real fun and ergonomically well designed. I'll probably sell it to "upgrade" to the now out X20 before the summer. OTT, the RAF (read raw) files are much trickier to process than any other DNG, ORF, RAW, etc I've ever dealt with, yet once you've understood how they work you can get tolerably fine images so long as you keep their size on the lower side.
