Ahhhh...this one gave me the travelbug big time! It absolutely sh*ts me that I have been to Oz 6 times and have never been able to make it to NZ. Definitely in the next 5 years though as TGuy''s parents said when Amelia is big enough, they will watch her for a week or so and TGuy and I will hop over there for a look-see.

OOOHHHH, I love that macro shot!
Wow, a D300, that is a pretty awesome camera & the lens is not to shabby either! Sounds like you are building quite a system for yourself MonkePie (and reputation too). So cool that you will be able to sell your D60 for what you paid for the D200...did you throw in the kit lens with that?
The G9/10 is very good and I considered that as well before making my decision. At one point, I even considered the D90, but it was a touch large for my hands. Truth be told, I probably talked myself out of a DSLR because I am a bit of a chicken, but I do not think I made a terrible decision, as the Panasonic will be a fun camera to learn on.
Any suggestions for websites that have online lessons? I am a newbie....
Hmmm...I googled and found a few sites that might be what you are speaking of. Is it Photoz or dphoto? I am sure I will love it, once I find itDate: 2/3/2009 11:37:32 PM

I absolutely recommend the digital photography forum (just type that into google and you'll find it). LOTS of nice people, and they taught me a lot when I was first starting out. And it isn't just amateur stuff either - you can find stuff to learn no matter what level you're at. I chat with some of those people on a regular basis even after a year's time.
Oh, and the D60 sale was without the kit lens, since I wanted to keep that one for the D200 when my husband is using it.

Figured you would have kept the lens kit for the D60, since it is a great kit lens. Besides, your hubby cannot get into too much trouble with that lens (18-55VR right?). I had an adventure this evening. Aparently, my laptop was not recognizing the USB connection with my camera. Did some research and people with similar problems bought a converter drive when it happened to them, which did the trick for me as well. I love this thing, as it was not very expensive, and it has great functionality aside from being able to interface better with my laptop. I feel like I just stepped out of the Dark Ages...heh.
