privateer Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I know this isn't ebay but it's relevant: For sale: Nikon d70s body, boxed as at retail and as new condition. Upgrading to d200. £265 inc royal mail special delivery (or cash on collection for a little less) Pm if interested That's a nice upgrade. If I was a Nikon shooter I think that probably is what I would be using right now, it's a cracking camera from what I gather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 16, 2007 Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2007 D200 is definitely a step up from a D70s D70 / D80 series are classed as amateur cameras, D200 is classed as a pro camera Its not as good as my D2Xs though :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateer Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Granted, that is certainly the case! I would be lying if I didn't admit to a twinge of envy any time I see someone with a D2X, a 5D or a 1D Mark II, all lovely pieces of kit and it looks like you have some very nice glass, too.

b23avfc Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I love the auto iso on the d70s and according to the d200 it doesn´t have that... I like that feature and think the d70s is a great camera, super lite compared to my s2pro as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

privateer Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Amen to that. I was warned by a friend who had been there about what would happen. "As soon as you grab your first high-end lens that is all you'll ever want". He was right but as you say, it is a superb investment, should last a lifetime and retain a good level of their original value. There aren't too many things that you can use on a daily basis for years that you can say that about. Still don't want to add up what I've spent on them, though! I'll post some shots to join in with the fun when I've worked out how. I'm guessing I need to link them to a hosted site like Photobucket, Flikr etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drat01 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Do any of you still use "traditional" film or is it 100% digital now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 16, 2007 Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2007 I think Sit Down Potato Head still uses film but he doesn't post any of his photo's on here as a result privateer, that is one great sunset! drat - what type of flower was that you posted btw?

privateer Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I still use it sometimes. In fact, over the last few months I have just bought two more high quality film bodies because I intend to do a bit more film shooting alongside the digital stuff. I like the fact that the SLRs are full frame whereas my DSLRs are 1.5 crop. Also, shooting film slows me down a bit a makes me think about what I'm shooting a bit more and how.

bickster Posted June 16, 2007 Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2007 A tripod has the same effect for me Full Frame was something that nearly made me switch to Canon but I opted to stick with Nikon in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

privateer Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 A tripod is something I really should use more, for what it does to the thought process and the more obvious reason of enabling the taking of shots that wouldn't be viable handheld. My problem is most of the shooting I do is when I go abroad so I tend not to take one. Here's another one from the few I have in Photobucket. If you ever see this in the wild this close it will be the last thing you ever see! It is a demonstration of the territorial instincts of a saltwater crocodile. The black object is a hard plastic ball on a rope and the croc is in the process of slamming a 1000lb per sq inch bite on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
