eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

my new camera is here! Nikon D-5000, with a 18-55mm VR lens, and a 70-300mm VR zoom lens. I got a deeeeal. :D

Of course I have to wait for the BATTERY to CHARGE before I can chase the cats around and terrify them!

Yaaay! Don't mind me, I'll just be writhing over here in envy. But also yay! :D

Toys! Wheeee!

I adore my 70-300 lens for birds, but the one I leave on all the time for those grab-the-camera moments is the 18-200. The 18-55 is a nice one for indoor shooting (parties etc.) and that camera is supposed to have superior low-light sensitivity, so you may not even need flash in a well-lighted venue.

The 70-300 on the D5000 is going to be outstanding for nature photography! Plan to use a monopod or tripod to get the very best out of the lens.

VR has made me so happy. You are going to loooooove it!
