Camera Release! (Thur post) New

New: adjective
of a kind now existing or appearing for the first time

Although this news might not be making a big splash in the conceptual art world, I'm pretty excited about the release of Nikons newsest camera, the d90, and what it will do for my photos. I've been lugging my d70 around for what seems like an eternity, and while I've gotten some great images out of it, I've been feeling like an ametaur, and the noise on anything shot above ISO 800 is driving me crazy. I was all set to purchase the d300, when this review/ comparison stopped me in my tracks: http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d90/iso-3200.htm

Ken Rockwell is a great reviewer of cameras; he takes the same images with multiple cameras and posts comparisons, including all the data so you can see what the variables might be.

My biggest concern about shooting my project digitally is finding the sharpness (also voiced during critique this week by everyone else), so I was excited to see this sharpness comparison:

I'm making the upgrade asap, and hopefully it will spill over into better image production.
