Finally *!*
DSLR.
Nikon D-200. It's about 16 years old, which is probably a dinosaur.
I got it for a price I thought I could afford, and all are happy all around
Sample photo with my old 55mm Micro Nikkor aboard.
Absolutely amazing viewed at the full size.
That is sister with her Nikon P&S.
Reduced here to meet forum parameters.
More on this in the picture forum in a couple of days.
For now, the processor is a bit on the slow side, compared to the lightning speeds I get from the newer compacts.
The image quality is absolutely worth the old tech head-aches, as can be seen above.
Nary an auto-focus lens here. I got enough of my old Nikkors to keep me occupied for quite a while.
Format is DX (APS-C) , which means a sensor area slightly bigger than half a 35mm frame.
That's about 20 times as big as the cigarette filter diameter sized sensor in the point and shoot compacts I have.
There's also a new to me 28mm manual focus lens for me to discuss once the excitement calms down a bit...
Regards,
Doc Sharptail
