Hi all; Been a camera guy since the 60's as a kid and shooting film with Minolta gear. A few years ago I graduated from point and shoot digital cameras to my first DSLR, a Sony A58 and assorted used Minolta glass. But after getting to handle a full bodied Sony A77ii I knew I liked the size. weight and features, but way out of my budget now.
So after one night of some side tracked watching Youtube videos' and coming across some current one's on the Nikon D200 I felt a strong wanting for one. Searching on the bay I wanted to pull the trigger on one, but looked at my local camera store and they had a couple of them used. Ended up getting what I felt was a great deal and a 28-85 lens to go with it. Now the learning process begins again.
So long story short that is why I'm here. Always had a soft spot for Nikon gear but this my first Nikon purchase.
