got my D70 today

[darb]

my 300D was stolen last week. Just got my insurance replacement (which this time iwll be kept at my office behind bulletproof glass !!)

what can i say, I am in love.

I had reservations about noise. What noise.

so fast, so nice. The ONLY thing im finding is the diopter only goes to 0.5+ , but my eyes are to blame, not the camera !

i think i somewhat want to thank the thiefs who burgled my house.

Also placed an order today for Nikkor 60mm F2.8 Micro / Macro.

Shoudl go well.

ANyways, must run, shooting test pics in RAW so i can change things like saturation, sharpening etc and really know what custom settings i want for when i do shoot JPEG.

Click, MHD, thankyou.

Wow that was fast darb - just a day ago you were considering this versus the new 20D. Welcome to uninhibited photographic freedom. You must try out "AI Servo" equivalent (AF-C focus) while NOT in sports mode while you still remember how that 300D behaves...

Darb,

Congratulation on you new Nikon mate

You think you love it now, wait until you start to get to know how to squeeze every inch out of it, then it become a joy

Cheers
Ray
