My trusty Nikon D70 has been in for repairs for the best part of a month now, it is suffering from the Blinking Green Light Of Death which is a pretty common bug in the first batches of D70.
It's now around 2.5 years old which is pretty good going for me with a camera, yet Nikon is still fixing the problem under terms of the warrenty, the only problem is it's taking some time.
So I picked up a Nikon D80 2 days ago, the body cost me 600 pounds including delivery and a 2 year warrenty, I also got a Nikkor 18-200 VR lens. I am especially excited about the lens as it was promised to be in the shops last November already but it never made it, I've been obsessivly looking for one but no suppliers have been able to get stock, 3 weeks ago I found one just sitting on a desk in a shop and immediately picked it up.
I am very impressed with both, the combination together is a really good combination and I do not regret the £1100 the set put me back for 1 second.
I've only taken a few shots with the D80, you can see them here.
Wow, The new camera is really amazing...
I took a look to the photos taken with it and they are really beautyfull...
I'm following your blog since few months and i really wish to give a comment at least.
Especially the photo posts (I appreciated the light box example).
Sorry for my bad english.
See Ya
