OT: What was your coolest Christmas toy?
Q
Comments (20)
I am so jealous. I always wanted a chemistry set. My favorite was the microscope. But, even better, after Christmas my uncle, a pathologist, found out about my gift. He (or his staff) prepped box after box of slides for me. They sent them with a notebook explaining what I would see in each slide and what it meant. When I visited him that summer, I really learned to prep my own slides. I must have been 9 or 10 at the time. BTW - I guess I finally received my chemistry set. I started work for a multinational chemical company many years ago. My first job there was in the lab serving the biotreatment plant; my slide prep skills were put to good use. Then, after the project was over, I moved into one of the chemistry labs. I'm no longer in a lab but visit the labs often.

First pics with my Christmas toy
Q
Comments (14)
Well, thanks guys. I'm sure others could give better advice Roselee. But, as one who has a lot to learn about the camera and photography, I would say that you would not find it difficult to use. It has an automatic setting and several other pre-sets. You would feel comfortable with those until you got more acquainted. It has interchangeable lenses. Buying and using those could present a little challenge, but, nothing the internet couldn't help with. From there, its a question of how much you want to get in to the details. Of course, the "bells and whistles" on DSLR's run the gantlet on price. There isn't really a right or wrong answer there. Just kind a question of personal preference and budget. If I knew more on other cameras, I'd share, but really don't have anything useful to add to those questions.

Did you get any new toys for Christmas?
Q
Comments (28)
nicole___, This is the one I bought, which is Wagner FLEXiO 590, but you do not put a hose in an open paint can. I can't tell whether it has a compressor or not. It got good reviews, but I don't know whether those are reliable or not. I plan to watch this video again before starting: I am going to try to have someone help me with this. A friend from San Francisco said that he wants to visit me and would help, as he has had experience with this type of painting. I plan to test it on the cabinet doors first, which I will remove and strip. I do not think I will use this for the cabinet boxes, unless I find that I can control the overspray well enough.

Great shots, congrats on your Christmas toy. You are lucky to have such a nice wife to buy you that (I had to purchase my own "present" this Christmas) LOL I bought a Nikon too, it's way over my head,(hopefully I will get some help here) but I figure it is my "last" camera purchase. LOL
