Nice capture Chas. A word of advice, if you have a choice on your next camera, buy a dslr. There are a couple of really nice 4/3 cameras like the Fuji Xpro-1 but the cost is almost twice that of a good entry level dslr. Fuji only offers 3 prime lenses at $600 a pop. A Nikon or Canon dslr can be had new, as a kit, for under $1,000, with two decent zoom lenses. Both companies off hundreds of quality lenses. Not so with a 4/3 camera.
