The "Whoo! I just got new gear!" thread

I can now do a real WoooHooo. My D3 is in my hands and I'm charging the battery right now. Stuck my 16GB card in it..will hold over 700 RAW's. Brought my 50mm 1.8 to work with me, might have to try and get some shots on the way home tonight..in the dark..good excuse to try ISO 25,600 out.

Now to plan some photoshoot locations for the coming weekend.

I am glad the D3 is finally in your hands, I look forward to seeing what it can do.

I'm excited for you Rick (and a lot jealous!!)

I've had my hands on NEF files from ISO400 through to 25,600 and it's truly an amazing thing.

My 10-20mm arrived today ... $350 2nd hand. Looks good and wiiiide in the living room.

Unfortunately, it's going to rain all the way through to next Monday.

Ok, my purchase seems a little small in comparison, but I just bought a Hoya ND8 filter to play with. Hopefully I get a chance to road test it this weekend

[I @ M]

With all the new cameras, lenses and filters being celebrated I thought I would add our latest "woohoo".
After being used to the luxury of a cheap remote shutter release for the D50, $100.00 + for a corded remote release for the D200 was a bit steep so a $9.99 ( + Del.) Yongnuo seemed worth a try.
It arrived today, has twice the build quality that I expected and works perfectly with no issues.
The best part was it can be bought from Oztion instead of eBay thereby avoiding the eBay double dip on paypal accounts.

Tamrac Memory and Battery Wallet 8, $20 probably one of the most needed things for me at the moment, sick of having so many AA batteries and memory cards loose in my bag

[RememberThis]

WOOHOO

Just got a 24-105 F4L!

Not by choice, stupid Tamron broke, had to replace it. Decided to go with the best

Have taken 5 quick snapshots tonight, it seems really SHARP...cant wait to give a real test (hopefully Friday)

[dantheman]

I think my brain filled up years ago..that's why my waist is now larger, information and knowledge storage spilling over due to full brain. Well that's my excuse!

LOL

Yes I too have a waahooooo! I just purchased a Canon 40D. Manfrotto Monopod. I did have a new Tamron Lens too but that went back to the shop, (disappointing). I will be purchasing a new Canon 70-200mm F2.8 IS USM in the very near future. Have found it for $1830.05 new with one year warranty.

[Deb A]

Ty just out of curiosity where did you get them from.. I am looking at getting a new 2gb or 4gb card and can't decide where to get it from

Hi Brad. I was actually pricing these yesterday. Go to www.sandisk.com.au/retail/buy.aspx
then go to Australia and there is a whole list of suppliers who sell them. I checked them all yesterday and Cheap Chips is the cheapest along with IT?. $42.95. The reason I did it this way was there are alot of fake Sandisk cards out there I only want genuine. Anyway have a look yourself and see what you come up with.

awesome ive been looking at their website to get some stuff on them. what were they like to handle with?

[Darey]

I have bought most of my gear from D D Photographics and I have always found them good to deal with.
I am lucky that I work in the Sydney CBD so I can easily get to them to pick stuff up.

hehe yes im about 30 mins from them in brisbane so its not a problem for me either good to hear someone has used them was a bit iffy about buying off a company that no one on here has bought off before
