sons picks were crappy point and shoots... the one where he's cradled was borrowed, the closeup was sony cybershot dsc-p10... that's dead now, thank the Lord.
the trees and the floats were with a nikon d40x w/ a 18-55mm lens. Been happy enough with it so far, but haven't had long. Personally, I wanted to buy the d40 or another model and put more $$ into glass, but my wife doesn't always frame things well so she wanted this one, knowing the lenses would cost more and knowing that I thought there were some other good options... but like I said, I've been happy so far except when id like a lens I don't have... yet.
