    Pics with A new toy

    I was blessed with a new toy a Canon A75 so I have returned to the world of happy shooting without lugging too much around. Had astomach virus the last few days but got sick of being int he house and took the kids to the aquarium...these are straight out of the camera with sharpening on two of them...it does a fine job in low lighting. It takes some getting used to after only using the D70 for so long. here's the first set shots using the new toy.

    hopefully I will not get stoned for owning a Canon now. It was a gift I received and was greatful for it...even if it pushed me to the dark side ;)

    Not all Nikon Samurai's own just Nikon gear. (We would if we could though!)

    Great shots, BTW!

    Pics look great Nat! Nice gift!
    Contrary to some people's opinions, ahem.... There will be no trial by fire for owning a Canon.

    I won't admit this too loudly, but there are members of the family shooting a Canon A20 and A70. (son and wife) I would bring them over to the side of goodness and light if it weren't for the new addition on the front of the house.
