That's a real photographer for you!
Whoopsie! I sent a PM to the wrong forum member earlier today who was kind enough to let me know my mistake. Friggs, I just sent you a PM.
I pulled out my D90--the battery was totally depleted so it is charging. After about 30 minutes of charging, I put the battery back in the camera to take a photo. I didn't look at the time stamp to see if it was accurate. The date is correct but the time stamp is off by around 13 hours. Not surprised considering the battery was totally discharged. I put the battery back in the charger where it is still charging.
Here are links to the jpeg and NEF I shot a little while ago. The D90 has one card slot but shoots both jpeg and NEF on the same card.

Here is the shutter count:
And this is the unedited jpeg straight out of camera (used the Nikon 55-200mm VR for this). I am letting the forum resize the photo so no editing on my part at all. Just a quick shot to make sure the camera works properly.

I am with Walt on this. Just thankful that I stumbled on this site. Scott and Cindy... God Bless... that is all I can say!
Does this camera use the EN-EL3 Battery? If so, I have a couple that I somehow wound up with that I can send along.

Well the D600, 2 batteries, battery charger (minus cable your other cable will work) and battery grip is packed and ready to be shipped. Went to the post office and they do not open until tomorrow so will wake up early and post it again.
Shipping with batteries in the box may mean via sea and not via air, I will check tomorrow.
I don' t understand what you mean by that.
Didn't the D300 come out not long after the D90?

Check out this chart.

It clearly shows the D90 is NOT compatible with the Nikkor 200-500mm E-Type lens
Apparently not all of the older bodies are compatible with the E type lenses because of not being able to electronically control the aperture. Most if not all of the bodies with 2 digits such as the D90 won't work.
Thanks again Scott. Words can not express my gratitude. Not only does it get me shooting again, but it allows me to try full frame as I have never used one before. I'm just afraid once I cross that line I will not want to go back. I just wonder how much of the "reach" of the crop sensor will I miss. Time will tell and I am excited to find out.
God bless,

RIP :(
There is a crop mode on the Full Frame cameras but you are really better off just shooting full frame mode and cropping. Depending on the camera you will get better results than you did with the D300
I second that! Yes, he really is a great guy!
