I've been very busy in the last couple of weeks. Among many other things I got a new camera to take pictures at an event I was helping to document.

The Nikon 4500 I was using previously is a fine camera but it wasn't very good in low light conditions and the lenses could barely keep up with the 4 megapixel resolution.

So this time I decided to go reflex: big camera, big lenses. After some digging, with the advice of a few friends, I ended up choosing the Nikon D70s.

It's my first digital reflex and it feels great. I did waste my part of film with reflex cameras a few years ago, the camera I used most back then was a Nikon FE.

After many years of small digital cameras it's nice to have again a camera which you can hold like a camera, weights like a camera and most of all "clicks" when you shoot (this one clicks quite fast: up to 14 pictures at a rate of 3 per second, you feel like a paparazzi ;-)

I'm very happy with the quality of the images, very sharp with great deep colors (my latest cats pictures on Flickr  have been taken with the D70s). It's a working camera, not something that you can take always with you, but given this quality I might end up bringing it along even in non-working trips.
