Newest Obsession #2: Nikon D40 DSLR April 9, 2008

Posted by Peter in : Obessions , trackback

What is one thing all fathers-to-be have in common (besides worrying about the future of their new family)?  They all think they’re gonna magically become semi-professional photographers overnight.  But how can you do that without a new camera?

Nikon D40 - My new baby (until the new baby)

Well, a new camera isn’t necessarily gonna make me a better photographer overnight, but it does allow for a lot more flexibility once I learn how to use it.  Enter the Nikon D40 with Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens and SB-400 flash.  It’s an older model, but it still ain’t cheap!  Got it new from Ritz Camera.  The lens (bought separately) is amazing!  It goes from wide angle to 11x zoom!  Also, the camera is FAST!

I’ve been reading a photography textbook and trying to teach myself about photography, so hopefully it pays off with nice pics to share on this website!  Also, this is my last “toy” for a while, with the baby and all.  But of course I’m justifying it by saying, “I’m using it for the family.”
