[QUOTE="spazoid1965, post: 456873, member: 38979"] Hey Manny seems a lot of people try to sell you on what they want and need. Not what you want. If it isn't the newest and greatest in their opinion the bash it. I still use my D2x, Heck I still us my D1x. For Web work I prefer smaller a megapixel count. Why waste computer memory and storage space on larger files if you don't need it. For me the cameras like the D3200 is less than useful compared D2x for my needs. I am still shooting with over 30 year old lenses from my old FT2 days. I have over a dozen manual focus primes lenses that cameras like the D3200 cannot meter with. I hate auto-focus. I'm not trying to earn a living with photography. I tried that back in the early '80s. And I'll never do it again. I enjoy taking my time and controlling every aspect of the shot. The D3200 has a smaller viewfinder which makes it more difficult to manual focus. The D3200 is no where near the built quality of any of the single digit DSLRs. It cannot take the abuse like the pro bodies. Don't let anyone bash the equipment you want. I heard for decades how my FT2 was outdated. But all the newer film cameras that came out during the '80s and '90 weren't anymore useful for my needs. As far as CF cards for the D2 series. I use Just a ScanDisk Extreme 16GB I picked up at Wal-Mart. The speed of the CF card isn't that important unless you shoot a lot of video, or you like constantly shooting in burst mode. I never do.
