chi-chi's trick
(koffi requested it, at least...)

taking the alex route...

(yes, i will blog the baltimore trip... eventually...)

okay, so i want a digital slr... and i'm basically trying to decide between an canon eos 30d and a nikon d200... though the canon 5d is mighty tempting (full frame!), but is somewhat (way) out of my price range (more because i don't think it would be worth it for me than because i can't afford it or anything... so i don't want to hear any lip about that).

i've pretty much ruled out the 20d because of the lcd size (i figure if i'm gonna want a big screen, and it's not something that can be upgraded at a separate time).

oddly enough, someone's created a web site somewhat answering my question, but i'm still fence-ish. i don't have equipment for either, but daddy has an old nikon. i don't know if i can use any of his lenses, but i thought it would be awesome if i could borrow his telephoto or something like that. i eventually want my own collection of lenses and filters, but if i can borrow daddy's for a jumpoff point, that might be something to consider (i have no idea at this point).
