Why didn't I think of that???
I surfed around online, looking at used D70s, but hesitated. Something didn't feel quite right. There were things about my old camera that I would improve, namely the display screen. A bit of research and reading and opening up my search criteria led me to this:
Meet my new-to-me Nikon D90, fresh out of the box! It has a better processor than my D70, a larger screen, and it can use all of my lenses. It's old technology, minted in 2006 or so, but I'm perfectly comfortable with that. I wasn't comfortable with the prospect of paying a lot of money for a camera that I use only occasionally, which is what would have happened if I had shopped for a new camera. (To be honest, the thought of that made me queasy.)
That thing in this post I said about rose season passing me by while I was without a 'good' camera ...
Nevermind.

ReplyDeleteI tend to act on things when I think of them.
DeleteVery smart move! I would like a larger display on my camera also but not ready to spend hundreds on a camera I don't use that often.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have replaced the D70 if it still worked. This new camera has a bit of learning curve, but I can already tell that I'm gonna enjoy it immensely.
DeleteYou are such a smart cookie!

I try. I'm not sure I would have thought to shop the second-hand market if I hadn't talked to Dan last week.
DeleteGood for you! Looking forward to seeing photos taken with this camera.
ReplyDeleteYou won't have to wait long, because I took 257 of them earlier this morning. Some are really good, others are only so-so. It feels good, and I'm getting better with it.
DeleteLooking forward to great photos with your new camera. Hope you can figure out how to use all the new wonderful features - it took me a long time to learn things on my new Canon. And I still don't use or understand many of the abilities.
