and bought every one cheaper than I feel was a fair price. Before you know it, I had jumped on so
many markdowns that I have a full closet of old Nikons....why? Wanna buy one? Cause I will make you
a hell of a deal.
Like I told Shark earlier, NOT A SINGLE ONE of my cameras is incapable of taking a great photo.
But you can ask Shark, having a capable camera on hand is not always quite enough to deter
the demons of our own minds. You want newer, better, more low-light capability, the ability
to use legacy lenses. One by one factors come in to play that force you to look at something higher
up the food chain. But if you just wanted to take photos for pleasure, and not for sale as prints,
any camera will do you right. The deal with multiples, on my end, was that all of my cameras can utilize
the same batteries. Why not pick up a cheap D200 when you see it? I bought a D90 that had a flash
that would not stay locked and seated. Gaffer's tape.....saved $150, gave it to my sister.

Just a few nights ago I forgot the flash was up on my D90, and I stuffed it into my camera bag. Long story short, I got home, noticed that it was jammed up, so I gently put the flash thingy back into place....now the flash will not work AT ALL. SH*&!!!! Careless on my part, now I broke the damned flash. Even with the flash in the up position, the camera doesn't read that it's up, so it must be some kind of sensor or something.
