Although I do have a mirrorless Fuji I love the great old DSLRs. I have the D750 and the 5D III, both in mint condition. Hope to some day get the D5.

I currently own the Nikon D5, D850, and D500. But I have to admit my favorite Nikon is my Nikon D3s. And I will not be able to tell you why, I just like how it feels in my hands, it is almost as if the camera was designed to fit my hands. When I am holding that camera, it's like I am holding an old friend.

that's how I feel about my D700

I still favor my D200 with a 300mm lens for most indoor event shooting, such as a church Christmas play, volley ball games etc.

Hi group,

I'm with Leon S, I love my D700 and use it almost every day. Take care & ...

For $35, I picked up a D200 (DX, 10mp CCD) with low shutter count. I use it when I need 1/8000 sec shutter speed, and to let my son enjoy.

I still have and use my Nikon D90.
Even though it only has a 12mp sensor, it can still produce great images.

Isn't that interesting, we love the older camera's that still produce outstanding images. I believe we have reached Nirvana.

I have all but one of my Nikons back through film days and all of the digitals ex. a D60 I gave to my Daughter half a dozen years ago. Enjoy them all, old friends.

I still love and regularly use my D50, D80 and D90 to compliment my D3400. Love their features and images produced along with shooting knowing their limitations. And these three guys AF with all of my old AF-D lenses along with the AF-S lenses Love the unique images produced with the CCD sensors on the D50 and D80. Next in line may be the 300s before moving to the 7000 line.

I enjoy seeing the images that your collection of Nikons has captured and there is little that any new camera can produce that would be highly noticeably different. Perhaps on large size high resolution prints however not viewed on a computer monitor sized down and transmitted over the internet, even the master's Mona Lisa.

The digital cameras are "digital computers" and those computers (microprocessors) must process the electronic signals of the sensor and process them to create an output file. We then take that processed data file and load it into another computer where its microprocessors process the data. We bring that into a program that interprets the data and feeds it to a graphic processor to display on a screen which has its own limitations of resolution and color rendition and then, perhaps, the human hand does a bit of post-processing tweeks to get it to one's liking.

In the end, are we really seeing what the camera actually captured? Is the investment in the Greatest and Latest camera really worth that market "got to have one" price?

I'm with you Quixdraw. Let someone else take the hit of the new purchase price and let fellows like you and I enjoy those flagship cameras built for pro use at a fraction of what they paid for it. Ever wonder how much a new car, perhaps $50,000+ loses in value in that first year or another year thereafter?

I agree 100%.

I would say the most important quality new DSLRs have which the old ones didn't isn't higher resolution but better high ISO quality.

I like your byline -- he must have been using a 1.4 prime lens!
