The Magical Pixel

The Jimbo

I have a cat, his name is Jimbo. He is 2 month old. He has a strong furr, very playfull. Sometimes Jimbo thinks he is a Hamster. He can hang on his claw to the cage ceiling for a few minutes. He also likes to pretend as a camel on the desert. When he become camel, he will play inside his shitbox and pretend all the sand are desert. Every night, my wife will take him inside to play with the children. Favorite spot to sharpen his claw is my leg. While in the house, he likes to play with the TV antenna cable. He will not stop until the TV is out of signal.

Now I’m offering anybody who would like to adopt Jimbo to make a trade with me. I would like to have a Nikon D700 for exchange of Jimbo. Doesnt matter i’ts a new camera or used.

Anyone interested?

I have a huge problem.. one more week before I embark on a journey to central Java, indonesia.. My Nikon D200 start giving me trouble.  It’s started on last week. I found that a few picture that I shoot is over-exposed (too bright). Then there’s an error coming out on the aperture area on the LCD, telling me that something is wrong with the aperture control.

Ok, I still can shoot, but I have to switch it off and on again then it will recover. But then after I snap a pic, the problem returns. I try changing the lens, problem still there. I dont know what to do. I try calling 9 people and do you know what they told me? “you need to change the body.. it’s time for D700″.

D700 is RM9,000 including a 50mm f/1.4 and a battery grip. Of course it’s good to upgrade my system but I dont think it’s neccessary. I still can shoot with my D200.. or my D70. But going for FX is a huge step for my pocket. The main problem for me now is the trip to Dieng.. Where can I get a body to replace my D200 in 1 week? arghhh!

So, last night I decided to give seriuos damage to my D200 before I sent it to Nikon. I dont have any tools..  I again, try to rub the body lens cpu contact point but this time I use my “kain Pelikat” and I give a fast 24 stroke/sec rub on the contact point.. voila! no more error… kambing betul..

so I hope his healthiness will stay… at least for another month.. before I spend too much on something that I might not need now.

First time touching borrowed D700..
