Well my money has finally caught up to technology. This is my 4th digital camera and I hope it is my last for a while. I finally traded in all my Canon 35MM SLR equipment, it was allot of stuff. 5 lenses and 2 bodies! I have been eyeing Nikon's NEW 6.0 Megapixel D70 since it came out and decided to take the plunge. My freelance work and personal hobby really needed to upgrade to what I once was so "creative" with. Now I have full control again and I can start to re-stock my equipment with different lenses, filters, flashes, etc...again.
I really have not even used it, just around the house.
I can't wait to go to the airports again and get the shots I have longed to share with you. The old Olympus and Fuji digicams just weren't cutting it for me!

Here she is, Nikon's D70!
Isn't she a beauty!

Thats one mighty fine camera you have there and cant wait to see the results from it.

Stunning. That must have cost a fortune!

he'll be eating bread and drinking water for months me thinks:)

Which reminds me, Dave.  I'm going to stop down tonight around 3:30 AM...leave the door unlocked, okay?

Shiny Dave, very shiny

So Dave, what did you use to shoot the images of the new Nikon with ?  ???.....just wondering  ;)

Actually, I have been eyeing the new Olympus E-1 but its a tad too much money for me to justify for only hobby use, but you never know.....

That would be one of these two trusty fellows. My first Digi on the left is over 5 years old! The 2nd digi on the right is about 2 years old.
I didn't say I got rid of my digital equipment!  ;)



Thanks Guys,.....looking forward to posting many shots, both with this bad boy and my new PC! I think I am having a mid life crisis,......
My 2nd child is due this week!!!!!

Looks like the digitals are really starting to rival the 35mm. I still use my Pentax KM 35mm. I think it's a 1980 model. Still takes great pictures. My problem with digitals is the cost of the printing. I had printed a few colour shots out over the holidays and they drained my ink. However, it looks like the cost of finishing is dropping and more photo outlets are offering the service.

i am hoping with such a huge rise in digital photography they will drop the costs of processing for film a little, to bring back some people to it, and then people like me who do still shoot film will benifit too:)

the camera in first pic is so good it can take spot view photos of itself!! amazing..can also pick up the small crumbs left by dave when eating his digestive buscuits on the tiles behind

that thing looks menacing... superb shots there dave well done and have fun with yer new toy

Nice Camera, better go get some nice shots with it

Anyways, i have been thinking about going digital and getting the Canon 10D but I think I am just going to stick with film and get a Canon 1-V or a Canon EOS 3. Right now I have a Canon Elan 7, a Canon Rebel G, and a Canon AE-1
