Nice cushions Judith. Shame that stuff in front blocked the shot.
:lol:

These threads aren't good for the wallet...starting to get 'left out' syndrome.
:needsahug:

Do you think they will take back the hall carpet I just bought?

Oh you really are behind the times these days Eric, when even little me is ahead of you in technology!! ;-). Go on, you know you want to....

I've had a wee mini play in the pretty crappy light of the living room - only a teeny bit life in the battery out of the box. I'm well impressed. The camera is slightly lighter than the d200 and very similar in size and feel which is great. The 24-70 is a heavy beast but I think it's only 200g heavier than my 70-300. Will have to try both out for size and weight to compare. I took a few exciting (not) pics of the armchair opposite where I'm sitting. The d810, of course had no difficulty coping with the lighting conditions and took a perfectly lit, sharp photo. The d200 couldn't even take a photo, even when pushed to 1600 ISO. So, first impressions are a big smiley yayy!! :thumbsup:

Also, when I was collecting it earlier in John Lewis, there was a specialist Nikon consultant at the camera counter so I had a wee chat with her. Turns out she is there 2 days a week to deal with customer enquiries (and sell, obviously) so if I have any doubts about which buttons to press, I've to drop in and see her. Good to know.
