Excellent. Hairy caterpillars in Australia are poisonous. We occasionally get them in our white cedar trees and if we don't get rid of them they strip the tree bare.
I like the softness, fav. My trusty D3100 developed many pesky viewfiinder spots and no matter what I did, could not remove them. But they did not affect image quality and my son is in love with the camera now that it is his!
When do you leave for your trip?
