New camera

Right now the d5 mark ii is trending at $600. (Body only relatively low shutter count.
Pictures seem better than the original model on pp. They are incredible.

Fernando Ortega . Keith and Kristen Getty feature Fernando Ortega on their most recent album.  This guy's hymns are among the best.  Fernando and Audry Assad are sort of the pop-level entry to some of the hymns world.  Much more than a band like Page CXVI.  Some how their reach has really extended far.  Ortega songs get covered by IHOP; Audry Assad literally sang at one of their yearly events (Onething).
