This year I decided to get a new setup for the Miami International Boat Show. The D70 is certainly not as fast as my D1x, but speed does not matter at shows. So, I bought the D70 kit with the 18-70MM lens, also the Zoom-Nikkor 70-300MM F/4-5.6 ED AF lens, some UV filters, and the Nikon SB-600 speedlight. It should be a good package for indoor shooting with light outdoor boating work, plus I should be able to fit everything into one bag, which is very important to me. We'll see how well it works!

Rich, now all I have to do is correct the bugs in the Gallery so I cam finally run batch uploads. That should be fixed very soon. The forums upgrades set that back. On a better nots, the D70 should be perfect for what I need to do with it. I'm really more eager to see how well the Nikkor 70-300 lens performs. It's the "1924" model, which has the alloy body and ED glass, unlike their other 70-300 model. We'll see!

Anthony, I was about to go for the SB-800, but I don't shoot portraits - I just needed something more powerful for the convention center. I also received your mail about the web template - I'll have that out to you this week.
