New camera

I've been drooling over the idea of a bigger better camera for a few months now, and in the past few weeks have been doing a bit of research into the pros and cons of various models, and had been thinking of buying a new camera when I got to Australia. However, when Hunty suggested that we might as well get one in Japan so I can enjoy using it here, and that I could get it as an anniversary present, I didn't take much convincing, especially when I discoved that I could actually buy a camera from Yodobashi slightly cheaper than an online grey import in Australia. 

When Jess found out I had purchased a new camera, we were ordered to meet her and Andy at T's Diner for a milkshake so they could examine my purchase. With unsteady hands and plenty of advice from Jess, I assembled my camera, almost ignoring the delicious Oreo Milkshake in my excitement.

My new Nikon D5100

Below are the first few photos taken with my expensive new toy. They're nothing special, but I'm sure there's plenty of excitement ahead. Unfortunately, after the initial charge on the battery was used up, the first full charge didn't finish until after dark, so I haven't had much opportunity to play with it yet.

 

Note from Hunty: 

Lucy has been jumping up and down like a jackrabbit all day since we bought the new camera, kissing it and stroking it lovingly. I think she might have found a replacement for me. Wahhhhh!!!
