Then clearly it's a defective camera. You did the right thing sending it back. There shouldn't be a single thing that the d70 does better...or even gets close to a d7000. Resolution and dynamic range being the 2 things the d7000 wipes the floor with the d70.

PS My son took the one of her eating the blackberry, it's the first time he showed an interest in photography in a couple years.

Thanks Rooz, and I agree. My expectations were very high, and still are. I have a lot of nice shots from the D70 over the past 8 years, and am looking to raise the level dramatically and specifically for larger prints. A couple of weeks should tell the story. Anyway, nuff said.

Nice shots DPR; Your daughter and your son show some of the same talent, genes will tell. :p
Here is a shot of a Lionfish taken at a local Pet shop. This was a monster, close to a foot long, maybe a bit more, from nose to fin tip, swimming solo (except for a dead goldfish put in for lunch). I told the people at the store they needed to call it "Livingston" after the Lionfish in the Star Trek TNG TV series. The business is also Called "Livingston's Animal Kingdom". BTW; the blue spots are from the overhead lighting.

Nice shot Falconest. Making the switch to fish for the winter? I'm hoping for that image quality when the 7000 comes home.

It's always great to find an unusual shot by chance, and indoors as well.

Looks like you will be warming up the next couple of days... then back to the deep freeze.

DPR (well, Anne really), Falcon - v. nice work. That lionfish reminds me of the Aquarium screensaver I used to have. It was my favourite of all the different types of fish available.

That fish is awesome.

Back to Suor Prat Temple (12th century). It really consists of 12 small broken down brick monuments. I don't know why I was attracted to this temple which is largely ignored by the majority of tourists there. I think the temple is ignored because it was too close to the proximity of other grand temples nearby. Or maybe it has no attractive statue or bas relief. Even that, I couldn't help but spending about 30 minutes there.

And there are MORE SHOTS OF THIS TEMPLE HERE, SHOULD YOU WANT TO SEE MORE.

That's what I love about this thread / forum, the variety and your awesome shots. Stuff I just don't see everyday
