Hi
this weekend I was out doing something on a request for my mother in law and was photographing in very low light (at night, cloud cover here in Finland in the -20). I don't know if the camera was slow because of the cold, but I'm sure it was low light.
I was trying to use the zoom confirm focus with a 28mm FD lens on at full aperture (f2.8). This is brighter than the kit zoom by a margin but still it was not only difficult to see anything it was painfully slow to move that rectangle around to find the points I wanted to focus on.
I ended up getting an OK image, but man this must be tied into screen refresh or something cos it was like running in treakle.
so I'd like to add this to the 'improved features' on the new model.
