....waiting for new camera batteries to charge?
However, they are now charged, and I am RTFM!! I have to, the D200 is consdierably different to my beloved D70s.
Hang on, I hear you cry, I thought you were buying that nice and relatively inexpensive Tokina 12-24 next?
Hmmm, yes, I was, until I saw this lil baby on ebay, and in a moment of sheer impetuous madness, put in an offer over £100 short of the buy it now price, not really expecting it to be accepted......
....he who holds he purse strings was considerably more shocked than I when it was, it has to be said.
S/H, but with only 1500 actuations, it looks like its never been out of the box, in fact, the charger, cables, etc haven't, still neatly factory wrapped. So I pressume it was a back up body for someone. So, wish me luck, it certainly turns on and takes pictures, so will report back in a day or two with operational standards....oh, and the sensor is clean too so no need to ask Janice to wipe a pad over it!
Now then, whilst I would like to keep the D70s too, I suspect there will be a for sale sign appearing in its LCD anytime soon, as the boss has spoken [mainly in words I dare not repeat here], but in the meantime, I am one very happy bunny!!
