Let me know if anything feels WAY better to you. My first impressions... kinda the same in all respects. Hmmm....

I agree that a lot seems similar but video in low light/high-contrast scenes is supposed to be noticeably better, but you have to shoot in auto mode to unlock the extra dynamic range. I shot a stunning clip last night but it's hard to say how much better it is without a side by side comparison.

The other thing I noticed is they have a coller for The Crane sitting up top wondering if that secures into the final floor in order for the crane to be raised to complete the crown

Looks like 1 Bloor W is becoming a pilgrimage site! I'm sure anyone who takes photos of the tower from downtown has seen this guy wandering around. Saw him posing here so I hadda get the shot - he was fine with it. Sorta looks like he's blessing the tower or something... cross and bread in hands...

I sometimes see this guy walking around the city, and it's always jarring.
 
Photos taken today, Friday (Sept. 19). Since I posted last Friday, a lot of movement on the tower, as the last two blue corner scaffolds at top were removed, giving the tower a skinnier appearance. The crane has been raised, with another section soon to be added. Happened to photograph a brace being attached to the crane near the top while I was by, check out the guy on the crane's exterior about 83 floors up! Most of the black Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the building's skin have moved up a floor, the east and north ones up to 69, the west at 68, where the south mini-RCS has been since last week.

The photos are posted in almost reverse order that I took them - but you can see the brackets for the crane being installed around floor 83 near the top - fully installed in the first photo here.
