yes 24 hours in one day is great injustice. Why don't we have only 12 hours in a day.

You are going to LOVE it...I dropped mine off a tripod yesterday, damaged a great lens that now has to go in for repair, but the D200 survived! Thank God...it is so solid. See if you can get the MBD200 for it as it balances out the camera, and looks really cool as well :-)

Thes, if that were the case, I would be 94 years old and not 47 and more than likely would need assistance seeing through the viewfinder of my D200, let alone picking the thing up with my shaky hands! :-)

Nah, but the average age would be about 154.

It's a win all situation.

Think this way, a 54 years old woman is quite young now.

That's nasty.

That means most people will be getting married around 13.

Also nasty.

okay kids, that's just too much math for my tired brain tonight.

That truck better be here on Thurs. We leave Fri morning for Shenandoah. I will hunt down the UPS truck if I need to!

I wondered why the switch? Didn't you like the Olympus Evolt?

A wise choice IMO. You are going to experience a large difference between the D200 and the Evolt. The D200 is nearly a pro camera (some will say so) that can handle most of everything really. Let us know your first impressions...

Well I had two options, spend the same amount to get everything I want for my evolt,

or buy a new system that I can add to every month without zapping the bank account.

I just ordered the refurbished body and an 18-200mm VR lens for now- cost me 1895.00 with shipping. Next month I'll buy the SB-600 speedlight and 60mm lens, then the 50mm. First of all I can't even find a 50mm f1.4 for Olympus. Lowest they sell is a 2.0. They don't have a 60mm f2.8 macro. The lenses they DO have are more money then I am willing to spend. Yes Olympus makes good glass.
Had I the money at the time I would have bought a Nikon, but alas I did not. THe Olympus has been an excellent teaching camera, fairly easy to use after carrying the manual around with me for a month, and it does produce some good quality pictures. I'm just ready to move up.
