Oh my goodness... I don't know what's happened to me... I saw some cheap refurbished Nikon Camera's go up on an online auction... I thought, great I'll buy a cheap 2nd camera... Ended up winning on one of them... a D7000... What have I done... LOL... Oh well, will be fun to have 2 bodies now.

I've decided to keep my 3100 as a second body, it's not as good as my 7100 but if I fix a second lens on it, it'll do me for a quick change over when needed.
Good purchase getting the 7000 though.

Two bodies are better than one.
And three are better than two!
I have two D600s and a D7000 as a backup...to be fair, the D7000 has taken very few photos since I got the second D600 - I usually have one on monopod with long lens and one over shoulder with shorter lens at games...but, I'm gonna hang onto it as long as I can - it will end up being sold towards my next lens or body at some point...

Winning unexpected auctions are awesome! I can relate to having multiple cameras.

LOL How's this, one of my students (a school principal) has a lighting kit that he has lent me for the summer. So now I have to work out how to use it and make the most of it!

Still waiting for it to arrive. I think I'm about to run out of luck. I'm willing to bet it turns up tomorrow while I'm out of town... LOL

I don't have any studio lighting, but I do have two SB-800 Speedlights. I got a double umbrella setup from Cowboy Studio that lets you put a pair of speedlights on stands with either the reflector umbrellas or the diffusion umbrellas. Cheap and very portable, but not nearly as powerful or as easy to control as proper studio lighting.

Well I think my camera may have arrived while I was out of town. Now I have to go and see what it was that was delivered to me. Fingers crossed.
Cool!!

Nope, mine was the other week... But either way we both won.
Yeah, would be nice to see one of those in an auction...
