    It's Here! It's Here! My D200 Has Arrived!
    It came a few minutes before noon! I am so happy!

    I've already put a 512 CF card in it, and taken a few shots of my lovely wife. I can hardly wait to play with it after work. Too bad it's suppose to rain all weekend here.

    Now I need that 2 gig CF card, and I may be getting a used SB-800 next week. The photographer selling it needs it for this weekend, but hopefully, I'll get it early next week.

    Did I mention that I'm a happy man?!!!

    Hurry there is still time to call for an RMA and get a Canon!

    Juuuuust kidding!!!

    There is nothing like a new camera.

    Last night I had my new camera around my neck just because....didn't even take pictures.

    Was kinda looking into the WB functions.

    Enjoy and have fun!

    Nice to have a spouse who supports your hobby.

    Yeah, and saturation modes, and...

    I've got a lot of reading ahead of me!

    "Nice to have a spouse who supports your hobby."

    Very nice indeed. I am a blessed man!

    Congratulations again Speed!

    We are all familiar with that excitement of getting a new camera or lens - like Christmas morning again!

    BTW, what lens will you be using with it? Forgive me if I should know what lenses you use already (I only remember CANON lenses). Can you use your other lenses with the D200?

    I'll be watching for the pics.

    Liz

    Hey buddy,

    Congratulations on the new camera. Dawn is sure taking good care of you, you'd better be taking care of her also! (tell her I said hello!)

    I'm looking forward to seeing your shots and hearing your opinions.

    I sent you a PM, sorry it took so long to respond to yours!

    I'm curious as to why this one would be on your list. I thought you had a quite a bit of an investment Canon. Are you thinking about switching? If so, I will send you my address, and I'll take that Canon crap off your hands....

    Good to hear, Speed, enjoy it!
    If you want any tips/pointers/quirk advice from about as seasoned as the D200 users get, give me a shout.

    I'm loving the D2HS, too. Prints very well for 4mp, though for big prints I will probably whip out the D200 as well. Neither will be my 'main' camera, each is too good to be relegated to second fiddle.

    Have fun!
