Pulled the trigger for a new toy.

[jerryph]

Well, I've decided to upgrade and the new toys are coming this Thursday or Friday. I just ordered a Nikon D700, Nikkor 24-70 lens, the Nikon battery grip, 2 extra batteries and a couple more 8GB Sandisk Extreme IV CF cards.

Please no one ask how much this costs... I am currently in denial! :eek: :D :p Saying that I am excited feels almost like the understatement of the year to me! :D

This is part of what is coming!:

Damn nice, congrats. Gotta love new toys. Have fun with it all, and let us know how you get on with your setup.

This weekend I have at least a 1/2 day set aside for some play time in a low light church environment to see how that goes, and on Dec 13th our local strobist group has a gathering at a professional studio location, several models and all. I think the timing was good, and I am going to put the camera through it's paces and really have a good time with it. :D

Congratulations Jerry. I got a new toy as well - Christmas came early. Hubby got me the Canon 50D, just haven't had a lot of time to play with it.
