new toy!

Today I probably got one of the best deals ever! I purchased a new digital camera, it's a SLR (single lens reflex), which essentially means you can change the lenses on it and the pictures it takes are phenomenal. The camera is a Nikon D-40, you can click the link for lots of info. I've been reviewing camera's for the past couple of weeks, playing with the ones that we carry at work... and came to the conclusion that the D-40 was the best fit for me. Price, functunality, quality and features are hands down the best in it's class. To give a brief little bit of info on it, it's a 6MP camera (same as the Fuji F-20 point and shoot we have), comes with a 18-55mm lens which is the equivilant of a 3x optical zoom. Has a 2.5in LCD screen and lots of customizable features, to name a few iso setting up to 3200, 1/4000 shutter speed and the kicker for me 2.5 fps burst mode that is infinite. Basically you set the mode and when you hit the shutter button it will take pictures until you fill your card or batteries die! Oh I almost forgot to mention, on the interwebs this camera sells for around $500 more or less. Just so happens that I picked it up for only $350 (slightly used display) but otherwise brand spanking new.

Here are my first set of pictures that I've taken with the new camera!

If you're curious about the last few pictures of Landyn, I was getting him ready for a bath and he started making this weird face and kind of stretching his arms out, hehe. He looks like he is scared but was making the face and then relaxing his body and grinning and laughing. Funny, funny stuff!

All for now FLIP!
