[QUOTE="STM, post: 164136, member: 12827"] I have had one for 4 years and it is rock solid. The image quality is outstanding. You might look into the Nikon battery grip for it as well. it is more expensive than the aftermarket ones, but it is made out of [I]metal[/I] not plastic and is far more durable. It is also 100% compatible with the camera body. It has holders for both AA batteries and the rechargeable Li-Ion one. If you are so inclined there are replacement focusing screens for it with a very bright [I]microprism[/I] center. Like all AF DSLR's the standard focusing screen is not very good at all for manual focusing because they are not very discriminating and the focus indicator in the finder is ok, but it runs off the autofocus system and when the light gets dim, it is useless. Since all I have are MF AI/AIS lenses, it is indispensible for me. You can get it at focusingscreens.com [/QUOTE]
