Took this with my "new" D300 still cold from being out in the UPS truck. After about 25,000 frames on the D70, it was time to replace it -- a few upcoming projects just need more resolution than it could provide. Even in this snapshot, it's immediate apparent how far image quality has come in the past four years - the grain and color are radically better than what my D70 would show at ISO 400. (And the image is about twice as big - new HD here I come...)
Unfortunately, I'm about to head out the door for the weekend and I won't be taking the camera with me... but I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces pretty hard over the next two weeks so I can get up the learning curve on the interface and any other quirks.
