Using one in a D200 and shooting RAW and the write speeds are certainly acceptable.

also have a couple of D1X / DIH cameras available for about $100, but neither one comes
with a charger. THOSE cameras, at least the D1H, those suckers were FAST, like a scalded
dog. You could get 8-9 frames a second out of it, plus it had a 40 frame buffer in it.
JUST TO HAVE THE BODY IN THE BAG for when I needed something that fast would have
been worth the $105. But without a charger, its not worth it. Maybe to someone who
already has a body and charger and wanted a spare, but DAMMIT, I wanted it to work out.
In the end, I could have picked up a universal RC car charger that probably would have worked
decently, but I started adding it all up and thinking, hell, both my other D-series cameras
can shoot 3-4 frames a second, do you NEED EIGHT? But there will be that one event where
I will think, 'I coulda had that shot'. lol.

That's how diseased you have made me with your DSLRs and your lenses and your big sensors.
I was happily saving money and minding my own business. Now I want to own every sub-$100
piece of used gear I spot.

I'd just get a CF card. Alot of people are selling theres off cuz many companies are moving away from CF.

I'd avoid the D1s. They had a flawed battery system and were a huge PITA, especially when the temp dropped.
Here's a pile of them in our "graveyard" in my office as well as a few other relics.

between aperture priority, manual, etc. modes appears to be a bit touchy but it works. If that gets to be a hassle
I suppose that I could get it fixed. Now doing the pee-pee dance waiting for the lens. It still shows as pending.

I got the rest of the stuff that I need on order. 4 GB memory card, USB cable, and a telephoto zoom lens. :noon I've been reading some from the manual, and the AF function on this camera seems pretty straightforward. I'll be using the single servo lenses for now; I haven't looked yet at any of the continuous servo ones, which seem more sophisticated.
