A New Camera!
Eek, has it really been over a month since I last updated this blog? Wow, time flies when you're having fun and keeping busy! We have been talking about buying a replacement for our malfunctioning 35mm Pentax SLR for a long time - we had both been saving for and researching digital SLRs. So last Friday, while I was down in Pasadena, I visited Samy's Camera and bought a Nikon D40 digital SLR and an extra zoom (85-200mm) lens. I decided to go for the lighter weight and not worry about a huge amount of megapixals - 6.2 MP is plenty for the definition we need. This is a great camera - works just like a "real", old-school camera and the lenses are wonderful. It weighs so much less than the old Pentax film camera; the body weights just over a pound. Here's a picture of the Pentax next to our Nikon boxes.
These were the first photos I took with the new camera; great for indoor shots without a flash!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiY7fcluyRyqNmi2K4M__OIcaX4LFw7-rBN3u1pW9ClOy_40BMTfOHCzNCOHE_FFfbvdtGFImIp1733LN0tTSUwVfrhd2hyfoOf0xmg4x9d1fHmqmY6E1t7o6J4Km5uvLJC59s/s400/DSC_0014.JPG)
These pictures were taken by Tom with his digital 5.0 MP automatic Polaroid (bought for $79 at Target!) ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieC7fL7rkV0bjmP1KpzhTE_V1DWWVBxpY8TU4umfnzK60OrKzA66i9uE9r2TjI6EUmvJNQapxi61keh6xZkbLL3NhE2IT9OETLkDwO_KYbfiFW23gr06fy11wyYAmCLESgBxll/s400/DSCI0023.JPG)
