I was quite happy with my Alpha 200 it would take all i would want to take then i was introduced to the Hog and i was bombarded with hoggers wanting new cameras and i caught the bug myself, luckily for me i got over it and can say i will never buy another camera because i definitely dont need one.
I do very little but from what i have read in recent posts we are very much the minority, as a matter of interest just look in the gallery or in the critique section it is how they live.
Out of every 100 or more photographs i take at least 98 are birds and when downloaded the feathering of this bird is superb, an excellent photo in every sense.
Well they sure didn't like us having them when we chased them out of our country back in the Revolution.
I often read on here how you Americans chased off the British in your war of independence, without the huge help of the French you had no chance, try reading your history before you make such silly statements
So where are these brand new cameras bought from in the first place?? the answer has to be be from the Nikon factory itself, i think it stinks, they have to sell the cameras in the first place then refuse to honour the warranty.
