trying out the new D70s

[Raymond J Barlow]

Had some time this afternoon to go out and mess around with the new cam, we had horrible light, but I made the best of it.

3,4 and 6 for me, great series raymond, that camera looks like it will work real good for you :thumbup:

Nice shots of the Mergansers. Good to see you were not without a camera for long. When is that new lens coming??? Hey, I thought you were going to get a D-50?

Nice shots. I just got a D70S also....what lense did you use for those pictures?

thanks bud.. I was going to get a D50, but for 225$$ more, I can share memory cards, and batterys within the D70's., plus the flash sync is 1/500 sec,. and that will come in handy some day when I get set up with a Better Beamer. Over all it is a lot better camera then the D50 I think.

the 200-400 VR S lens is about 6 grand.. not gonna happen for a while!

I think I would get a Sigmonster first.. but still, 6,000 bucks for that one too.

I won't be removing the 80-400 off this new d70s for a while! I don't really see much difference between the D70, and the D70s though.. larger monitor, that's about it.

Thanks everyone..

wonderful series! :thumbup:

Thanks JM.. come up here in early May.. the migration at Point Pelee is an amazing thing to see from what I hear.. You can view, and easily shoot 25 different types of Warblers in one day, and from what I hear, they are very approachable.

I am not envious - I am not envious - I am not envious - I am not envious - I am not envious ...

I need this mantra in order to look at these photos.
Bad lighting conditions, and then when you "try to make the best of it", you get this result. I am sooooooooooooooooo in awe. But soooooooooo much!!!

I am not envious - I am not envious - I am not envious - I am not envious - I am not envious ...

And you even get visited by tame squirrels who let you take your self-portrait in their eyes. It is sooo wow-y! But:

I am not envious - I am not envious - I am not envious - I am not envious - I am not envious ...
