I just bought a Nikon D300 and a Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8mm zoom lens. Oh, and I threw in a battery pack for good measure. The thing is as big as a tank. Check out how the lens and camera look together here. (Well, sort of. The camera body in this photo is a Nikon D3, which is the same size as a D300 from the top view.)
Do I bring all this up to brag? to gloat? to say a big "neener" to those who have moved beyond the point and shoot camera stage? (By the way, everyone needs a point-and-shoot, too, no matter how fancy their DSLR is. Here's mine.)
No, I point all this out perhaps as a form of contrition, public penance--whatever.
Okay. The truth be told? I'm tickled to death.
But, at the end of the day, I'm an idiot, nonetheless.
(Maybe now I'll get some more images on my picture site. I've had a Dickens of a time uploading photos. Network problems. They seem to be fixed now.)

Wait. I don't get it. Why are you an idiot? For buying another camera?
By the way, in Tennessee they don't say "neener-neener," they say "nanna-nanna-boo-boo." No joke. Crazy Southerners.
Yeah, you've got a point. It's kinda like another guitar, amp, microphone, editing program, blah, blah, blah. As Popeye says, "I-yam what I-yam."
Ah, sounds so nice. We keep dreaming of a new camera body. These days the D700 has got my eye. Thank goodness I never bought one of those DX lenses.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the D300 vs. your D200? What are you liking? what motivated you to make the change in the beginning?
Just bought the D700! its going to be at home when I get there.
Also gonna get that wonderful 70-200 f/2.8 lens, and the prime 50mm f/1.4!
can't wait for those to arrive.
