Description
Cheetah Cub KillThis very young Cheetah Cub shared in the small kill provided by his mother. She gracefully caught a small rabbit wondering by. Initially the cubs just played with the rabbit before finally eating some of the meat - quite possibly their first taste of it - as they were not weaned yet.
Maasai Mara
Kenya, Africa

how are you finding the Mk4?

Speaks for itself don't you think?
No seriously, I'm loving it. A great camera. I'm still convinced Nikon is ahead of the race at the moment, but that's not important - especially with my lens investment - so I'm happy.

the mk4 certainly looks the part! I'm tempted...but having shot with the D3s I still yearn for one...with me having only 2 lenses the move to the dark side is still on, but with our family expanding come February I will have to hold on to what I have.
been quite happy with the 7D so far, especially in the price class.
