Thanks Wim,

I do enjoy it, but for reasons that shall not be described here I can not be directly in the sun, so it is much for the pleasure of my wife <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> , but it is very nice to wander about and try to get a nice shot somewhere. Lots of nice plants, trees and, if you drive a little, monuments of all kinds. Unfortunately have to go back north tomorrow, but the water is still good for swimming and the sun is hot.

The more I use the equipment, the more I am convinced that for me it would have been a smart thing to start with one or two lenses only and then buy as you really see the need. That being said, what I got is really good. I took some handheld shots with the 70-300 at 300mm across a bay that is 2 km large and the sharpness and detail are amazing.

What do hink of the D7000? I think it shows things to come from Nikon and when the D700 gets the new sensor, there I will be <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

So, I will have the courage to show some of my pics when I get home and select a little closer. Until then, kind regards Vieux Loup

Sorry to hear about your condition. OTOH, this provides with ample opportunity I guess to go out and go shooting, as you are (were) doing <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />.



Starting with less lenses when you're entirly new ot something is probably a good thing; however, it does look liek you got some good lenses for sure, so even if you don't get around to working with all of them now, it'll be great when you do. Good glass always is the real investment with cameras, especially in the digital age <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



The D7000 sounds like an awful lot of value for money to me. Everything in a single camera, plus a new sensor. I think it is really funny how Canon created a camera more similar to the D90 with the 60D, and Nikon decided to do a one-up to the 50D <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />. Very clever, they still aren't competing in this market segment now, they just switched segments <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />. Well, that's my interpretation anyway <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />.



And I am looking forward to see some of your photographs!



Kind regards, Wim
