The Nikon D40. It’s the photographer, not the camera.
Knoxville Zoo and the Nikon 18-105mm VR

I can’t see the appeal of the new Nikon D5000 DSLR camera
Even though I’m not ready to buy a camera right now I was looking forward to the new Nikon D5000. It was pitched as a replacement for the D40 (which is what I use ) and D60. The appeal of … Continue reading

Thom Hogan on used Nikons and upgrades
After reviewing years of his pictures from various Nikon bodies he has this advice (no permalink – get it while it lasts): So, if you’re looking for bargains and don’t need high ISO much, the D2x/D2xs would be my choice … Continue reading
No Nikon D5000 at PMA
That was a letdown. The D40 is being shown as discontinued all over the place. The D60 is still available. We saw a palette of them at Sam’s Club last weekend. Previous item on D5000.
Snow!
Saturday was sunny and warm. The kids spent the day playing outside. I noticed the first crocuses blooming. Then snow moved in Sunday morning and covered everything in a white blanket. That’s East Tennessee winter for you. It’s enough cold … Continue reading

New Nikon AF-S 35mm prime lens for DX cameras
Pretty cool. It’s an AF-S lens so it focuses on the D40/D60 (as well as any other Nikon DSLR), and the focus should be as silent as it on other AF-S lenses. At 35mm it replicates the 50mm field of … Continue reading

I popped another photographic cherry today
