New Toy

After weeks of travelling round the world (the virtual world that is, looking at several e-bay sites), from Malaysia, China, USA and in the end Australia, my search has ended. I finally got the Nikon D50 camera. After I sold my Sony Cybershot DSC F828 to move to a pure DSLR camera, I began searching around for this camera. I wanted to get the D50 with an additional Nikkor 70-300mm My journey took me to -

KLCC - RM 4,000 (with 512 mb card + easy payment) - intially thought that was OK

Qingdao, China - RM 2,010 (with 2GB card) thought this was great, until some fishy things turned up and decided to give this a miss rather than lose money on a scam

New York, USA - RM 3,650 (with 1GB card) - delivery costs would have made it the same as in KLCC Australia (well actually PJ - just trading done in Aus e-bay) - RM3,600 (no card, but with bag + cleaning kit) - was about to go for this..

until i ended up at

Bukit Bintang Plaza- RM 3,500 (512mb card + easy payment + bag + mini tripod) - so got it!!

Here are some early shots taken with my new toy, have a lot more to explore...

taken with the normal 18-55mm lens

and this is what the 300mm can do for you
