The D70 has landed

[Old Timer]

The D70 has landed in my hot little anxious hands. I have been on a couple of waiting list since the first group of D70's hit the US a few weeks ago. Monday afternoon Murphy's Camera in Lexington call and said they had one in with my name on it. I made the 60 mile trip yesterday afternoon to pick it up. I did get the kit with the 17-80 lense as well and am looking to add a tele zoom in the near future. Got home around 7:30 PM and slapped the battery in and headed for the back yard just so I could record somekind of image. I am really looking forward to learning to use this camera. I love the feel in my hands and it seem to have many similarities to my N80 just wish the SB 28 DX was totally compatible. Here is the first image straight out of the camera with only sizing done. Kit lense at 70mm ISO 400 at 1/60.
