Thanks: Gave 16, Got 17 | My D80 arrived this morning!!! First shots...
My pressie to myself was a new D80 with 18-135 and I just had to go and have a few shots with it this morning.
Light wasn't great but just thought I would post a few pics to show you results 'out of the box'.
Number 1 is my fave... manual focus and as shallow DOF as I could get...
C & C welcome as always...

C & C welcome as always... | Way to go, just got one myself a couple of weeks ago and it's nice to get that new camera buzz. Have you downloaded Ken Rockwell's guide, quite useful (so I thought). d80 users guide |

Nice one. How long did it take you to knock down that sign?

What did you have before your D80? I want to upgrade my D70, but since I've not got any special photographic events coming up, I shall try and wait as long as possible, then see what I can get.
