Steve and others

Thanks for the sample photos.  I wont have any problems with the sun but
thanks for pointing that out.

Looks like I'm about to order one.

Cheers
Pedro

Pedro,

I have one of these. It's OK; certainly higher quality than the typical
Micromark style things. Unfortunately, it gets a beautiful view of the sun
as it goes down in the evening, which causes a lot of flare. I also wonder
about it causing long-term damage to the sensor. Unlike a regular
bracket-mounted camera, there's nothing you can do about the angle to
prevent such things with one of these.

I've uploaded a sample image to the Photos area of the group. It's
compressed quite heavily, since it's come off the MV1000, but at least you
can get a feel for contrast/noise and the like.

Hope that helps.
Steve
