The New Toy Arrived

With everyone getting new bodies, I think that separate section for you to proudly display your first image from your new acquisition is in order.

This applies to brand new bodies, as well as bodies that are simply newly acquired by you.

I bought the MB-D10 as well, so I am one happy little camper. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
The little brother D70s is so glad it now has company. :D :D :up:

Congrats, you will really enjoy the D300 + MB-D10, esp if you have heavier glass.

There's no doubt you'll love the new toy. Looking forward to seeing more shots from it.

(I'm also pretty sure that my lonely little D70 would love similar company, but unfortunately I can't afford it yet.)

Good thing you bought it when you did, as the D70s is obviously faulty - the logo on the lens cap is upside down.

:roll: :roll:

Thanks guys. Used it out at Point Cartwright this morning and loved it. Just need to get a copy of Capture NX2 so I can process the raw files. :)

It's Australia stock.

Enjoy the D300. I thought I loved my D70S but since the D300 arrived 6 months ago I've not thought of it 'til I saw your sad D70. I've also stopped looking at pics taken with my D70s, those with the D300 are just *so much better*.
