I'm havin' fun... hope you are as well....



Easy there, ole buddy. You know I'm having fun. BTW, I don't know if a D70
is a
great camera for use aboard. I'd go with a good small P&S, like my little
Pentax Optio. Dispite it's small size, it took this pic (5MP)......

Again, the Optio is smaller than a credit card. Sells here for 315.00 and
there's even an underwater housing available for it!

Not much into the smaller digitals.... what I'm waiting for is Nikon to get
off their friggin' arses and get back to making topline cameras again. They
had a great one years ago... can't recall the name... the price tag was
$10K.... I think they are coming out with a new one in week or so as
well.... but again the stupid proprietary format crap I think....

I've got like over a dozen Nikon Lenses and Flash equipment.... I use it as
a hobby but have been hired on many occasions. My brother's graphic firm
uses my equipment for their professional photo shoots..... seems the pros
like the F4 much better than the F5... I do not know why. I do have a data
back that allows a wide variety of functions... like printing the shot info
between the shots on the negative. Auto tracking and focus triggered shot
abilities.... I can set it up over a gopher hole and when the gopher pops
his head out into the focus range preset... it will snap a photo
automatically... or 6 of them at different exposures. It's a really neat
system.
