....waiting for new camera batteries to charge?

However, they are now charged, and I am RTFM!! I have to, the D200 is consdierably different to my beloved D70s.

Hang on, I hear you cry, I thought you were buying that nice and relatively inexpensive Tokina 12-24 next?


Hmmm, yes, I was, until I saw this lil baby on ebay, and in a moment of sheer impetuous madness, put in an offer over £100 short of the buy it now price, not really expecting it to be accepted......


....he who holds he purse strings was considerably more shocked than I when it was, it has to be said. :whistling:

S/H, but with only 1500 actuations, it looks like its never been out of the box, in fact, the charger, cables, etc haven't, still neatly factory wrapped. So I pressume it was a back up body for someone. So, wish me luck, it certainly turns on and takes pictures, so will report back in a day or two with operational standards....oh, and the sensor is clean too so no need to ask Janice to wipe a pad over it! ;)

Now then, whilst I would like to keep the D70s too, I suspect there will be a for sale sign appearing in its LCD anytime soon, as the boss has spoken [mainly in words I dare not repeat here], but in the meantime, I am one very happy bunny!! :D
 
Someone's going to be dreaming of Nikon tonight (or is that having nightmares :lol: just kidding) congratulations on your new toy & look forward to seeing your pics :thumbs:
 
I certainly do (Hate the waiting), but it pales in significance to the pleasure of buying new toys :D

Enjoy your D200!
 
Nice one Ladylens :thumbs: - the D200 was an even bigger leap for me from a D50 - I am still learning how to use it after 9months & found the Thom Hogan e-book the best User Guide out there ...

Paul :nikon:
 
:love: Thats gorgeous, crisp, sharp, the lot :D
 
nice one :) I got a shot of a D200 again a couple of weeks ago, lovely camera
 
:) :clap: :)
Happy days
 
Nice one LL - hope you enjoy :thumbs:
 
I have made a discovery about the D200....


....with a sigma 70-300 stuck on the front, its flamin heavy! I had to open up the apertures so I could use a fast enough shutter speed to stop hand shake! :bonk: I think I need some time in the gym building up arm and shoulder strength, and until then, those long distance big DoF shots will have to be for tripod mounted times only! :lol:

However, I don't care, took it over to Alexandra Palace the afternoon, and despite the weight problems, got some lovely birdy shots. Now I need to go back to manual reading, its braketing settings had me totally stumped, just as the clouds got interesting and I was going to do some stuff for more HDR playing. :(
 
I am not impatient, really I'm not!! :whistling:

A quick one from about 10 minutes ago in the garden....I'm in love!!
