Back from the trip...

Wow!  What a great experience.  My family had a great time watching the kids experience "Disney Magic".  From Sarah hugging all of the princesses and Christian hugging Pluto to my mother seeing her four grandkids at Disney it was a week I'm not going to forget.  A lot of snapshots were taken.  In fact, I even flipped the D300 to P mode to fire off a bunch of shots without worry.  It makes a great (albeit expensive) point-and-shoot! :)

What's interesting is the Disney setup for their photographers.  All of them are using either Nikon D70 or D70s models (I heard D200s too, but never saw them) connected to a transmitter and barcode reader.  They snap the hell out of you and the group, scan a card and the images are retrievable online (and their photo center) using the Photo Pass card.  You can request prints from there.  It's a cool setup.  One photographer I spoke with said they're going through cameras every few months with the number of shots they take.

Another interesting observation was the complete dominance of Nikon over other DSLRs I saw.  I think I saw ten to fifteen Canons and hundreds of Nikons (mostly D40 and D40x) in the hands of the vacationers.  I'm not looking to start a flame war about which brand is better, but Nikon sure has a hit with their entry level DSLRs.

I'll post anything interesting later, but will throw this up for the hell of it.  Yes, it's way over processed, but I like the image...
