Default Nikon D200

I sold my D70 and went for a lil bit of an upgrade.




Compared to the D70 the LCD screens are huge and the fps are just great. Since i work 6-5 everyday ive got no time or energy to take pics right now.

and the rest of my stuff is in here

Congrats on your new DSLR mate !!!

You have bought yourself a fabulous camera. It sure is a great upgrade when you are used to working with a D70.

The D200 offers the best value for your money.

Aren't you satified with the professional viewfinder ? When you compare the D200's one to the one of the D70 there has to be huge difference. It's much clearer and you see more as well.

D200 is the light-version of the D2x.


Cheers

I didnt notice the view finder at first. but when i just compared them side by side it is much clearer and larger. Im really excited for football season to start so i can make some good use of the higher fps.

Do you shoot sports for fun or are you planning to get into sports photography?
