[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I got a Nikon d200 a couple of weeks ago.A couple of the people on his waiting list didn't want one until "after the first of the year" (tax evasion?) so my local pusher let me have one of the first that came in. It is really an amazing camera and works well with all my old manual focus Nikon lenses; though the focusing screen is not exactly ideal for mf, it is adequate. It has the best designed layout of buttons and menus of any digital camera I've used. The picture quality is excellent and I think that Nikon has finally figured out how to limit noise at high ISO. I think that nikon has a real winner here. Allen >On 12/30/05 6:45 PM, "Robert Meier" <robertmeier@usjet.net> typed: > >> >> What happens after 400,000 exposures?
