We just arrived in New Hampshire yesterday. It sure is beautiful and the weather is perfect. The two flights went remarkably well considering we had two small kids with us. I even managed to convince myself to haul the Nikon and assorted gear all the way across the country. I’m glad I did as the [...]

So the old Elph is no longer, which means we’re lacking in the Diaper Bag Camera department.  I need to replace it soon as the D70 is a pain to haul around everywhere.  Seeing as it’s home will be the diaper bag, I need something small, durable, low in features, and pretty cheap.  I’m thinking [...]

I received a great photo umbrella and universal swivel holder from my sister-in-law this past Christmas. As usual, Strobist turned my onto these low cost wonders. I’ve been doing a lot of cardboard lightbox macro shots lately and have been pretty happy. However, the box does somewhat hinder your ability to vary the direction of [...]

So my D70 returned home last week.  Weird thing is that they couldn’t find anything wrong with it and suggested it was probably my flash card.  This would make sense except it does it with all my flash cards.  Hmph!  We shall see.

Moderate Repair : Major Parts Replaced
That makes three B2 repairs on this camera. While I’m very happy that Nikon is taking care of me once again, I wonder how long before [...]

Dropped the wounded D70 off at the Nikon service office today.  I think the kind woman that helped me was the same one that helped me the previous times I’ve been there.  After taking down my info she looked up the camera history.  It was actually pretty funny.
Nikon Rep: I see the camera was here [...]

With my D70 on the fritz, this article caught my eye. It’s a fascinating article that covers much more than the Nikon and full frame issue.  It’s really a great read on the history of digital photography and where we’re going in the next few years.  Based on real world experience, it isn’t full of [...]

That’s it.  I give up.  My poor little D70 is going to see the doctor on Friday.  I’m making the hour long trek up to El Segundo to drop it off.  Hopefully, it won’t need to go under the knife, but instead needs a couple pills to make it feel better in the morning.  I’m [...]
