New Camera unboxing

My poor hardworking and venerable Nikon D90 is on its last legs. Bits have fallen off, a connector cover won't stay shut, the card slot doesn't reliably grab cards, the connection between the battery grip and the body is sloppy and sometimes it just doesn't even turn on.

It was time for something new.

For many reasons, not least was total cost given that I have a bunch of Nikon F-mount glass, was the newly released Nikon D500. 

It arrived yesterday and here are some unboxing shots. These might be the final photographs taken by my beloved D90. It has served me well over the years.

Let's get started

Overnight delivery - you don't want to wait

Mmmm, bubblewrap!

Another addition to my gold box collection

Small ouchie - no big deal

I was wondering where they were

Extra genuine battery

Good sized lens cloths

Manuel - he's from Barcelona

A little bit of gutter creep

Another addition to my charger collection

I had to check the parts list - cable connectors

A big boys strap! Never had one with the number before. Still won't be using it though.

Battery and USB cable

And here it is…

…the last camera I'll probably ever buy.

And here is a little burlesque strip-tease for you!

Yeah, Baby!
