Fan-tastic!

Oh, I've been looking for a while now. There's been talk.

They'd likely work, but one limitation is that the body doesn't have an autofocus motor, so you have to have a lens with its own autofocus motor (AF-S or AF-I) for autofocus to work. Otherwise it's a standard Nikon F mount, so any lens that fits an F mount should work.

blah blah blah, snowflake....

With my point and shoot it was remarkable how many crappy photos I took at DL, forget the fireworks at the Hollywood Bowl. I seriously need a tripod, bllllluuurrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyy

I've finally gotten fed up with the slow response of point-and-shoots. In many ways I love our little Pentax, but it absolutely sucks and anything low-light and it takes for ever to start up and take a photo. It'll be nice to be able to just take a photo within a second of wanting to.

That's one cool new toy.

libraryvixen · 09-24-2007, 01:55 PM

~~Your new toy is my best friend's camera!~~ (edited: I take it back, it's a Canon, though it does have lenses and it looks just like yours!!) It's paparazzi style when it takes pics.. and the pics are gorgeous. I think yours may have the same settings for pics if it's anything like her camera!

My BF took mine and B's Christmas pics a couple years back (if you got one, it's with the snowman) and the pictures turned out great. She also used it for last year's pics with the me and B w/ the white background.

She took pics in Hawaii with them and they were beautiful! Have a good time with your new toy!

Why am I always befuddled by dwindling account balances? Even when I pull up account activity with balances and can see it go down, I find it hard to believe it goes down as fast as it does when I didn't think I spent that much.

I hate being horrible at numbers.

I also hate banks for their outrageous overlimit fees, and for charging it for every $4 coffee you bought at Starbucks rather than once per day that you get overlimit (because, like I knew, right? You think I'd have put a latte on my card if I knew I was overdrawn?)

I'd have to look... I have SLR lenses, but thats the extent of what I know. When I bought my Nikon it was the cool one... alas... not anymore.

Green with envy mojo!

I think I am just a crappy photographer, can't really blame it on the digital, it's brand new.

Ugh. I called on the rental this morning, and they said they were still deciding and will get back to me this afternoon, one way or the other.

I hate this stupid waiting game.

Nice camera, GD. I'm eager to see the "beauty and passion" you capture in Chicagoland.
