The D70 has landed!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nMy first picture with my D70 – a handheld 1 sec exposure from my window <\/span><\/p>\n

After weeks and weeks of waiting, the replacement for my dodgy Minolta A2 camera has finally arrived and I’m now the proud owner of a brand spanking new Nikon D70 camera!<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Compared to my previous digital cameras, this one’s a heavyweight mo’fo, but it feels just grand in the hand, finished off in a ‘pro’ black finish with enough features to keep serial twiddler and tweakers in a state of deep chuffdom.<\/p>\n

Of course, the best bit of using a SLR is the fact you can slap on different lenses, although they certainly ain’t cheap for the Nikon.<\/p>\n

Seeing as I’m already casting envious eyes towards esoteric fish-eye lenses and village-illuminating flashguns, I expect I’ll soon be troubling e-bay with a veritable boot sale of all my old camera gear to fund my habit.<\/p>\n

And once I’ve got my head around the D70’s mission control<\/em> of an interface, it will sadly be time to also bid a fond adieu<\/em> to my trusty Sony F717<\/a> – a tremendous, hi-tech looking camera, whose gleaming silver finish tended to attract way too much interest in the street for my liking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
