My regular posting schedule has been stymied by the fact that I picked up my Minolta print camera and set down my digital one -- a Nikon Coolpix 990. It all happened a couple of weeks ago because I ran out of batteries in the digital, and just grabbed my Minolta. I had totally forgotten about the pleasure of holding a *real* camera with some weight behind it, and a camera that responds exactly as I expect it to -- no delay, no weird focusing. Some of this is because I haven't taken the appropriate amount of time to actually learn the Nikon (as Jason constantly reminds me), but a lot of it is also the camera.

The downfall of the print camera is that I had to take my film into the store and drop it off yesterday. And of course, being the obsessive person that I am, I didn't take my film to one place but two -- one for print developing and one for slide developing. Such is my life.

I am LUSTING after the Nikon D70 which seems to be the best of both worlds. I have been reading posts by Heather and Jon which are making me green with envy about this new toy.

If you want a preview of the pics that I have taken and am waiting for, look here.
