Guess Who...

got a new camera?  That's right, I did!!  I got the Nikon D7000 and I LOVE it!!  A nice step up from the D80 that's for sure.  I haven't had the chance to take it through its paces yet, but what stands out so far is how sharp the images look at a high ISO.  I can't get over it!  With my old camera I was hesitant to shoot above 400, but with the D7000 I've shot over 1000 indoors and been happy with the results.

Here's an example of ISO 1600:

It's been easy to switch between bodies.  The majority of the buttons are in the same places and the menu is very user friendly.  There are a ton more settings on this camera though, and it will probably take me a while to get everything how I'd like it.  I'm itching to get out to the Raptor Centre so hopefully I will get out there this weekend and give the D700 a good test run.
 
In the mean time, here are some images from my Mom's garden :)  I only did very minor adjustments on them, they are pretty much as shot.  Have I mentioned how much I love this camera?!

Oh, and I have to share a shot of my sweetie-pie!
