Say Hello to my (new) Little Friend...
Nikon D80
Welcome to my new Nikon D80... I finally bit the bullet and went and bought my DSLR. Nikon D80 with the Nikon 18-200mm VR lens (very nice bit of Kit in my oppinion...)
In addition to that, I have picked up a Nikon SB-800 flash and a tripod also... So what does this all mean? Hopefully some additions to my photoblog and my Flickr page...

I toyed with the idea of the D40x, but the lack of bracketing support kinda killed it for me (among a few other noticeable things that were missing). The biggest killer for the D40x was its size. I have large hands, and the D40 body is just too damn small...

I also kidded myself momentarily and considered the Cannon 400D. If it weren't for the fact that Nikon bodies have the buttons where your hands already are (I spend far too much time driving Cannons with the lens pointed at the ground, as it seems that every button you actually need is always on the back of the camera) and that the 18-55mm lens that Cannon insists on bundling with the body is a complete waste of space, I might have actually considered the camera for more than 1/100th of a second...
