My dad took some pictures of me and my new camera the other day while we where at Bayswater.
I'm finally a big boy camera user now! :lol:

Gordon says that he always wears sunglasses, I guess that is correct! :D
You know, a Canon 30D would look better in your hands then that Nikon! ;)

She'd be a D100 with a 80-400MM lens. The camera is actually my dad's old camera but the lens is brand new.
I did actually want a Canon but my dad wouldn't think of the notion! :roll: :lol:
As for the sunglasses, it protects the eyes from that freezing wind over at Bayswater. :mrgreen:
Hopefully I'll be able to try out the new camera and lens in beautiful weather and see what its full potential is!

That is a really sweet peace of equipment! 400mm, so its that around 13X zoom?

Technically it is 5x zoom, but zoom isn't what counts, it is the focal legnth (400mm)
In a standard P+S camera, usually the minimum focal legnth is around 20-25mm. So, we would take 400 and devide it by, say 22 mm and we get a "zoom" of 18X in a standard P+S camera.
