[QUOTE="stmv, post: 795706, member: 10038"] Well first week of Day 3 done,, and its back to the future! I was just not seeing how I could get my hands easily on a 810,, so..... laughs, I went totally in the opposite direction and got a bargain old camera... A D200! now you might ask why! a few reasons,, first,, the body is MINT! only 2513 actuations,, I mean this would classify it as a demo camera... basically still new. second,, only 250 dollars.. and the real reason,, I love that sensor,, the last of the high quality CCD sensor non CMOS,, there is sometimes a magic to that sensor, a vivid nature, no not low noise, but wow,, brilliant colors. I have a D80,, but that gets used by other family members, so I really don't have the D80 anymore, so,, this replaces my D80,, and better yet it meters my old glass, and frankly is a well built camera. no, it does not replace any camera, but will just be used for fun, I am thinking of making this my antique glass camera. Use my old manual focus lens,, I have lots of gem manual lens, and I think I will make a kit around this old D200,, and keep it handy. it will be so fun to compare D200 images with D800 images!
