happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me… happy birthday to me.
its actually a month after my birthday, but you’ve got to earn these things first. super excited to have a camera with a) excellent low light performance and b) a super-fast lens to complement (a) and allow real depth of field cunning. short of spending a whole whack more, i can’t see a better way of getting a camera that works in the kind of environments i find myself in, a camera close to the human eye.
the interesting take-away is this: forgetting the niche lens, the nikon d40 alone is cheaper than some decent compacts, and obviously takes way better photos. yes its bigger, but its really lightweight, which is half the issue.
