Girls like their toys

hey - this post is not dirty unless you are a Techno-whore like me, I am . I admit it. Shoes and Techno. Although I can never afford the shoes I covet, and I have to save up for the techno - none the less - There is grand news in the world of photography for me anyway.
Nikon is coming out with a D700. Its the new D300 (which is what I shoot with) and now relieves me of the need to covet the D3 (which was way out side of my price point- hey even I have a limit on how much tech I’m willing to actually PURCHASE) But the D700 is right on the edge of my comfort zone so hopefully in Early to mid 2009 I’ll be pickin one up, so if you plan to get married in the dark I can shoot it! As it stands I can shoot in candle light with out a flash and still get a decent image. aLthough I prefer you get married soemwhere with some light.. if I have any say in it.. I’m just sayin..
Now they (Nikon) have also released the SB900 flash - which hopefully will make SB800’s more affordable for a girl like me.
GAWD, Nikon, its sweet.. Thanks for the opportuinity to geek out. Jerry - its only a momentary thing, I am only sort of a photo geek (I can’t admit to my husband I am just a geeky as he is.. That is NOT AN ADMISSION DARLING! )

That it all..

    Wow. I thought the D300 was brand new! It seems like nearly a perfect camera! I was kind of heading in that direction for my next SLR. Just bought the D60 for our haul around camera (shameless plug, some shots up today!) and love it. Just switched to Nikon. Ordering the SB-600 soon.

    I figured they’d come out with the D80 replacement, first, though.

    We will have to talk cameras sometime!

    Um…sorry babe. But your Total Geekiness is CONFIRMED!!!

    You are a Photo-Geek. Its okay. The first step is to admit what you are and be comfortable with it. That way lies freedom. And Damn what Spoken says, she aint a cool geek. We’re all geeks for our own little niches and loves. The fact that we dont care what others think makes us cool.

    So. GEEK LOVE! GEEK LOVE!

    Tee-hee-hee!

    It is always nice to see someone as goo-goo as I am over Nikon gear. Still coveting my D100 & D200 which I hope to do more and more shooting with here in the near future.
