Holy wow!

I got a new toy earlier this week… a D700!!  It’s sort of a belated birthday present for me this year.. my birthday was last month, but DH didn’t get me anything then, so I think this makes up for it (and the birthday he completely forgot about a few years ago)

I am absolutely totally THRILLED with it so far…

One of the very first shots (pardon the clutter, I had to find something to shoot..lol), and it’s SOOC - shot in JPEG since I hadn’t even changed any settings yet!

The high ISO performance is INCREDIBLE (the second one here of my DD looking through the tube was at ISO 720 - and there’s no noise at all), and the sharpness and clarity are quite impressive - this camera is making me love my 85mm even more since it turns it into a more comfortable working length, yet maintains the awesomely shallow DOF

The bokeh is to die for…

So far I am just totally smitten with it..

My oldest is pretty happy that he gets to use my old P&S too..though a little annoyed that I kept taking pictures of him!
