newness

guess whose getting a new camera?!?!?! i hope you guessed correctly - me!! woop woop. i've been waiting a few weeks, b/c i thought i would hold out for the nikon d300. it's a mac daddy and is sure to be phenomenal. it's due out in november, but who knows when it will actually be available. i'm very uncomfortable traveling to weddings (especially the small ones i do myself) without a backup camera. (just thinking about my 1st wedding where i only had my film camera....oh it gives me shivers to think about it.) anyway, i decided to go ahead and purchase the d200. it's a good one, and maybe next year i'll look into the d300. i ordered last week and had it sent 2nd day air to be sure to have it before i leave for the beach tomorrow to shoot a wedding. weellll...they sent me an email a day or two afterwards saying it was on back order. WHAT??? i was sad...very sad. called the company who said they had more on the way due sometime in nov. so i was going with the flow and thought 'hey, i've gone this long w/out it...i'll be fine.' (please Lord, pleeasssee don't let anything happen to my camera!) and then the MIRACLE! i got an email yesterday saying it had been shipped and will arrive tomorrow. YAAAAAAYYY!! now i will have about 3 hours to learn how to use it! i don't mind though.
