Cam­era: Nikon CoolPix 3200
Set­ting: Macro, Cyanotype

Since receiv­ing a Nikon D70s for Christ­mas, I tried to be dis­cip­lined and lay the Nikon Coolpix 3200 to rest whilst fever­ishly devour­ing the 200+ pages of the door-stop that is the D70s instruc­tion manual.

In real­ity, I have slogged through vari­ous chapters in fits and starts, with my feeble attempts at exper­i­ment­a­tion pro­du­cing very dubi­ous offer­ings. I tried to res­ist revert­ing back to the E3200, prom­ising myself that once I had my “Step-Down” ring and could make use of my macro fil­ters, I’d be flying.

I can’t wait that long. I feel limb­less without a camera.

So, until I mas­ter the D70s (and get the ring I’m after to size-down the fil­ter thread on my lens), I will con­tinue using my beloved E3200. Without guilt. Sort of.

I love the D70s madly, we just need to “grow” on one another.

  • I Just bougth a Nikon D40 and am deeply in love with it, and I’m not exag­ger­at­ing. It’s a gut-wrenching pas­sion I have for this cam­era. How­ever I won’t be con­sign­ing my trusty little Kodak to some dusty shelf.

    Some­times the D40 (or D70s in your case) just isn’t the right tool for the job. How­ever I’m the kinda guy that needs to find that out the hard way and will prob­ably spend hours try­ing to cap­ture some­thing with the D40 before grabbing old-faithful.

  • *jeal­ous* You don’t only have a D70, you also got an iPod ;) :shock:
