Marty’s photo of the day #3187: If I were able to go back in time and re-do my trips to all seven continents, the first thing I would do is buy a different camera for my Borneo adventure. I always travel with two cameras, and for a while I was updating one new camera each trip. My camera brand of choice is Canon, but for Borneo I experimented with a Nikon. I know a lot of people swear by Nikon, but by the end of the trip I was swearing at Nikon. This was somewhat early in the industry-wide switch from film to digital and my camera had problems with both noise and focus. In the end, less than half of my Borneo photos were acceptable. This southern pig-tailed macaque makes it only because of the subject. There was plenty of light, yet digital noise creeped in.
