Parents bought me a camera today to replace the D70. Its my 24th birthday and i totally didnt expect it. No idea how they nailed it either as i never talk to them about cameras, i guess they must have been on my browsing history or something ?

Anyway, guess what it is...

As a non Nikon enthusiast... What is that? D300s? D90?

Either way, shiny new camera!

Congrats

Did your parents get you the vertical grip too?
 
Nice :) now you have no reason not to post some photos :p. You know its not FX right?





jk :p

What glass is going on it?
 
Its a D300s, and the MB10 grip however they have asked me to sell my D70 before they buy me the grip (bit short of ££ this month and the grip is £200). Fair enough! :)

Browsing history : i use firefox and then i use IE for naughty things, and theres no IE icon anywhere on the start menu, desktop items hidden :)

Glass : just using my current lenses, selling the 70-300 to get a nikon 70-200mm VR1. so 18-70 kit lens and 50mm prime. Also waiting for tokina 11-16mm to come into stock.

So now my kit list reads
D300s - 18-70, 50mm 1.8, 70-300mm, redsnapper 300 tripod and head, nikon bag. I want to replace the bag with a peli case but will have to work out how you cut the foam inserts around your gear and im set.

Not going full frame, when im eventually good enough at shooting cars and people that ill try weddings ill get a D700. Tbh im starting to just go shooting instead of worrying about tech specs, having said that im sure the 51 af points will come in usefull against the 9? of the D90.
