I ordered the dslr camera through Saneal Camera store April ending. I counted two occasions that I called to find out my ranking on the waiting list. Both times the news was grim. Then last week I got off work, checked my voicemail and I instantly lighted up. The beast is finally here.
I changed plans and raced to the Camera Store with lightning speed. Along with the d800, I grabbed the Nikkor 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 and the Nikkor 50mm f1.8 lenses. John at the Saneal Camera store, Southcentre Mall location was very informative and gracious in assistance.
The excitement turned to reality quickly. Mind-numbingly steep learning curve. A quick drive to Cochrane to see Paul and Janet, Nikon enthusiasts, was the inspiration I needed.
For practice I brought the Nikon gear to Fish Creek Provincial Park, Calgary and managed a handful of pictures shared below. My greatest challenge was keeping a steady hand before taking the shots.
Overall my every expectation is met and I am happy with the d800 and the 28-300mm lens choice.
