Santa Brought me a D300S!

Yeah, Santa put a new D300S under my tree....and told me to open it early. I went down to the Riverwalk for a few test shots to try it out, and then took a couple shots of the cats at home. Nothing special to these (though I do like the shot of Abbey) but I am surely glad to see how clear they are. The better AF (51 point) and the faster burst (7fps) were both what I'd hoped for. I'll post more soon.

    Boy, I can't wait. This is like giving Michelangelo or Renoir a new set of brushes. Go get'um.

    Hey Lauren -
    Congrats! I know you were eyeing a new camera (and I assume the D300S is what you had in your mind). Enjoy your wonderful new toy.

    Congrats....
    Looks like you're catching on to the 300s just fine. The Easter Bunny brought my 300s last spring.

    Thanks, everyone! It will, indeed, be a lot of fun! I hope my shots live up to all these expectations and good wishes . . . :D

    Denise, yes the D300S is what I had in mind when we talked. I debated switching to FF with the D700 but decided against it.

    For those of you who shoot with the D300, please pass on any tips and lessons learned..... deal.gif
