My D700 came in today. This is the first camera I wasn't truly excited about because I'm not buying it for features. Rather, I'm buying it for economics. I need to sell my D200 immediately if I'm going to get any significant sum for it since the D300s was just announced and is starting to ship.

Oh shit.. I think I'm about to spend a ton of money on camera equipment

I've been planning to buy the Nikon D200 dSLR body since it was released a year ago. However, I haven't *critically needed* it. I should have redundant equipment when I shoot weddings, but I don't, which is the true justification for it. I've really just been waiting for a ( Read more... )

You know you spend way too much time on eBay when you're vying to win an auction, have done your homework on the item, plotted the sale prices for similar items, calculated the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation, and manually drop in your best bid 5 seconds before the auction closes -- only to have another person win by dropping in their ( Read more... )
