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!  











I am off to go shooting!!!!!!

Stunning. That must have cost a fortune!

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

Shiny Dave, very shiny 8)

I was wondering the same thing.

That looks a nice expensive piece of kit Dave. A chap at the Shuttleworth display had one very similar with a big bag full of lenses & other stuff. He was kind enough to demonstrate it to me. The zoom lens he was using was anti-shake or something. I don't know the technical name & couldn't figure out how it worked. It probably cost more than the camera. Must admit I was jealous & tempted to get something like it myself. Then I came back down to Earth & realised that I have no use for such a thing. I have enough problems with my little point & shoot camera.

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!!!!!

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:)

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

Now find yourself a runway and snap some planes!!
What airports are near you?  Do you live by any big INTL's or some GA airports?  I look forward to seeing them!

Very nice hardware....  Guess you'll have something to snap baby pictures with!

Wow nice camera, the one camera you used take a picture of the new camera is might fine too.  But Dave, where one earth do you live? Where in NYC, because that lake is GORGEOUS, I wish I had something like that where I lived... but ya right... (Arizona)

*DROOLS*

I want one of those!!!!

Lucky bastage

I live in the center of Long Island on the North Shore. I am 25 miles from La Guardia, 30 miles from JFK International, 10 miles from Mc Arthur Municipal and 5 miles from Republic Airport!

I used to live under the flight path on the beach on the South Shore to New York's JFK. I would sit on the beach and watch them come in one after another. Heavies from all over the world. At night, you could see their lights all lit up in the sky as the air traffic controllers lined em up. Really wild!!
