One thing I've noticed with my 5400 is NOISE...
I've also noticed the noise will appear in the exact same locations... (but not every pic has it)
This worries me... it almost seems like I have bad "pixles" in my ccd. I'd never noticed ANY noise with my old sony.
Also low light focusing is horrible.
Here are some recent pics I've taken...
They might be giants (4.8.05) (most of these were taken with manual setting with the fstop way too high - around 7)

http://www.elvis77.com/kevin/So far I've not been all that impressed with this camera... But I'm still learning all the controls/features.
Also I've had the camera lock up on me a couple times now... where I had to remove the battery to reset it.
And it takes a REALLY long time to write data from the buffer after doing continuous shooting or a video clip. Sometimes it can take minutes. Which really sucks.
Basically this camera is getting me used to setting WB/ISO, shutter speed, aperature, etc manually - then someday I will shell out the $$$ for a digital slr. The D70 body is down to about $400.

Just in... some daytime pics... Reds Opening day 2005...
