Hands up all those who want a new camera?

Today I had a little play with a brand-new Nikon D50. My dad has just lashed out and bought one, and I test-drove it quickly this afternoon. And you will be pleased to know that, 'No thanks, I don't want one!' Surprising, huh? Well, I didn't really give it a good workout but I could hear my Canon 300D calling out piteously from the camera bag, and I really don't want to get on its bad side, lol. The Nikon is smaller and lighter than my Canon with its battery grip that I love, and I found it hard to focus with the Nikon. It was a bit of a relief to me, because I have been thinking towards the Nikon, after seeing some friends produce wonderful images with their Nikons. But as my dad said, it is 95% the photographer, and the rest is the camera. I'm not sure I want to go that far, but I think who is driving the controls is very important. Anyway, camera review over, here are some images to enjoy.
If you are wondering why I photograph Tashy so much, it is because she is so very patient and happy to sit for me while I experiment. And this last photo is a scream ... it will teach her to pull faces when her mum is trying to do serious 'photography schtuff', won't it? It's the sort of photo you pull out at her 21st and embarrass her thoroughly!What a cutie, lol! More next time ...
