Thanks for the ...Oh Delia - your photos are lovely.<br />Thanks for the nice compliment but alas I long for another camera as well. The lesson - be content w/what you have. But actually, I'm glad you got a new camera. You kind of needed it and again, the quality is fantastic. love marymgstarboardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05870286015146334789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30103302.post-6864436256831097612010-09-01T21:30:39.462-04:002010-09-01T21:30:39.462-04:00Lynne, I tried that one at the store and just didn...Lynne, I tried that one at the store and just didn't like it. It had a lot of buttons and seemed very complicated. And oh my gosh, you made me laugh!<br /><br />Elizabeth--oh it's hopeless on the noise ordinance: you should hear the motorcycles that parade up and down our streets downtown at all hours, and the cops just look the other way. Besides, I'd rather just hate her in silence.<br /><br />John--your camera seems a lot like mine in terms of what it can do. I think I'm gonna stick with the Nikon; I'm comfortable with it, and I'm sure I can learn enough to get some good pics. Thanks for the bug help!<br /><br />Susan--you can try my Kodak if you want! I'll bring it to Cape May. And NO I DID NOT. Think what you want, you old bat!dguzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811101661607351661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30103302.post-44557653870127007452010-09-01T14:10:29.425-04:002010-09-01T14:10:29.425-04:00So it WAS you!

I SAW YOU!<br />OMG...save us from the crazy ladies.<br /><br />I was wanting a new camera before NJ, but it's not in the cards. Hopefully this one can limp through ONE MORE Cape May excursion.Susan Gets Nativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00216170589750418861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30103302.post-58933860380772577742010-08-31T23:20:37.975-04:002010-08-31T23:20:37.975-04:00The damselfly looks like either Spotted Spreadwing...The damselfly looks like either Spotted Spreadwing or Common Spreadwing. I lean towards the latter since the stripes on the thorax are so thin, but I'm not entirely certain. The leafhopper (photo 5) looks like a Candy-striped Leafhopper. <br /><br />I've enjoyed my Panasonic FZ-35 so far. There are two new models in that series out this summer, so they would be worth a look if you decide to try a different model. Feel free to email if you have any questions about my camera.John B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00163297234733313179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30103302.post-47337059110798043592010-08-31T23:17:16.704-04:002010-08-31T23:17:16.704-04:00You're so funny!

I might be able to find some serious language. You could quote that to her.<br /><br />I bought a Nikon d40 for around $400 with a basic 15-50mm lens. Right now it's listed for around $600 on Amazon, though. And dSLRs are dangerous because you keep wanting to upgrade. Now I have two bases and four lenses.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625315968391918427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30103302.post-58523056618989160662010-08-31T22:39:22.140-04:002010-08-31T22:39:22.140-04:00Julie Z is liking her Canon G-11 point and shoot. ...Julie Z is liking her Canon G-11 point and shoot.
