In your research, don't forget there are 2 generations of 80-400.
The first generation is screw drive autofocus.
Second generation has internal motors (AF-S)
Beautiful machines, whether original, or reproduction
Look at the Nikon Coolpix L810 or L820 or similar.
4 AA batteries, but modern enough.
I even got an AC adapter for it.
This is for the best side.
In 2003, I bought an HP digital point and shoot, 3 megapixels. I have an image of Venice I took with it cropped to 1/3 vertically and printed on 8x14 paper, framed and mounted on my wall.
Surprisingly good
Maybe some kind of ID or medical alert bracelet?
Number 7 is a Jaguar, look at the hood ornament.
Perhaps an XK-120 or XK-140, but, not sure.
The D500 uses a "Banks" system to "save" settings
There are two sets of four banks each.
A settings bank, with four slots, and a shooting bank of four slots each.
So settings A,B,C, and D.
And Shooting A,B,C, and D.
The two banks can chosen independently.
So you could have settings A, and Shooting C, for example.
The issue with the banks system is that it is dynamic.
If you make a change that affects a parameter within a bank, that becomes the current setting.
So the only way to return to a known state is to do a save settings to file command, and then restore it when needed.
Not sure how many settings actually get saved in the file, though, there may be some that are important to you that are not.
Good luck
So that's what's in the eye of the beholder!
It's a wonderful place to visit. I went several years ago on a weekend, they got out 4 or 5 of the cars and ran them around the parking lot.
They tend to want to keep the cars as found, with all the patina of age.
I've been to Unique Photo in NJ, if the Philadelphia is similar, lots of photography toys.
Vibration Reduction was added to telephoto lenses because of the benefits of reducing motion effects of camera movement when you are picturing a small field of view at a distance. Short focal lengths with wide field of view may not benefit as much from VR.
It was only after longer focal lengths were taken care of that shorter lengths were considered.
The 10-20 DX lens is one of the last F-mount lenses Nikon created, the 12-24 is one of the earliest.
Good luck with your search
As an option, check your local camera store.
They may offer a service to convert your media to DVD, or files
Blessed by NikonUsa?
Hardware wise, my opinion is nothing special.
Perhaps when memory was more precious, they might have localized languages and not included all of those supported in ROM.
Perhaps the label.
Perhaps if you try to register your camera on the Nikonusa website.
If it lets you, then the chances increase that the camera is an official import, as opposed to gray market.
Nikon has used ranges of numbers to indicate the region it was created for.
According to one independent source, D5300s with 4 as the first digit were allocated to Europe. Yours is above the range listed, though. And sometimes, Nikon has had to tweak the allocation because of volume.
http://www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/camera.htmlNikonusa is very unfriendly to consumers, the only way they will confirm that your camera is not Gray market is by sending it in for service. If it is not an official import, they won't do anything more to it.
If it needs service, better to ask one of the former service shops, but Nikonusa has revoked their certification as well, so more unfriendly stances
One of the many reasons I am not rushing to convert my computers to Windows 11.
Thanks for the report.
