Thanks. It took 5 years (and severe budgeting) to get that stuff pulled together.

The D300 is awesome camera. As my photography skills develop I may upgrade from my D40 (assuming micro 4/3 format does not kill the DSLR).

I found some local photo clubs through meetup.com. There is a club for every experience level and photography style.

D300, with a 8-55mm Zoom-NIKKOR VR Image Stabilization Lens and a AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED perfect for newbies, and cant wait to push it to the limit and see what it can do. how can i find a photography club such as the one you mentioned on the ISO advantage article? this is an amazing set up. currently im a college student, love computers and gadgets, and i own my first DSLR and i absolutely love it, it is sick.

This new version does not have a WDS tab, the app. does appears to be the same in all other functions. How do you set up a WDS network with out a WDS tab?

No cult feeling as yet. I just wanted something with an interchangeable lens and more control than my Sony DSC-S70 could provide. A coworker recommended I look at Nikon and I bought the cheapest thing I could find, a D40. I cracked my kit lens when I slipped on a rock trying to get a shot. I replaced it the Nikkor 18-55 f/5.6 VR. I prefer prime lenses so I added the Nikkor 35mm f/1.7 to my kit. I also have the SB400 flash. Nothing else. No tripod (don't need if I have zoom with VR and a fast prime). If micro 4/3 takes off I'll invest in one of those. I like the smaller form factor of the Panasonic Lumix GF1 and the look is kind of nostalgic. <a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/09/panasonic-micro-four-thirds-rangefinder-with-leica-lenses/" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/09/panasonic-...</a>" target="_blank">http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/09/panasonic-...</a></a> I have a Nikon.

I have the 20" iMac too, but I only have a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo & 1 GB 667MHz RAM version. I'd like to get a MacBook Pro and Apple TV soon. I have my 2G iPod Touch connected to the iMac, and I do believe iPods/iPhones synch via iTunes better on Macs than on PCs. Good to know we're both in the Mac camp. Now about you're camera, I'm on Team Canon. ;-) Nice post indeed! I have the 20" iMac too, but I only have a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo & 1 GB 667MHz RAM version.
