I need some advice and / or information from you, my readers.
We have really ratcheted up the number and different types of photos that we take over the last few years, and now I’m at the point where I’d like to take the next step in photography and make the move to an entry level Digital SLR camera.
I spent a decent amount of time taking pictures as a kid and even had a hand-me-down Minolta SRT100 in high school in college.
So anyway, I’ve been doing a good bit of research and handling of digital SLR cameras, and I’ve narrowed my choices down to two:
The Nikon D50 and the Nikon D70s.
If any of you have any experience with either of these cameras or know of anyone who does, I’d appreciate any input or information or guidance you can offer me.
Today the wife had to take the kids for their four year and six month checkups respectively. I didn’t envy her at all. I think 1Doh knew in her heart of hearts that she was in for a shot, and she KNEW 2Doh was, so there had to be some tension in the minivan.
GBD upsold the event by telling 1Doh that because she was big and four years old, she got to pee in a cup today. I don’t understand why she (or any kid) would give a shit about that, but apparently they do.
Here are a couple of camera phone pictures from the visit:


Oh, and just an FYI. We (against better judgement) stayed up until midnight to watch “For Love of The Game” last night, and 2Doh promptly needed feeding at 12:30am, then needed a pacifier at about 1:30am, then 1Doh came in for a ninja visit (sold to me as “daddy, I can’t find Piggy!” complete with sticking out lower lip.
Then there were two more pacifier trips followed by a 4:30am feeding.
Shit am I tired…
What say you?
