Are you a candidate for Lasik?

No.

I bought my D200 today. Should be here soon.
Did you trade in your existing camera? Did you take a bath on it? I
looked on the Nikon website at the D200, and noted some improvements,
but I didn't see any that were going to result in visibly sharper photos
or enlargements.

The D70 will go to my older daughter.

You must be comparing the D70 to the D70s. There is not much difference in those
two. The D200 should be compared to the D100 or the D2X. The D200 is a 10.2
megapixel camera.

Go he http://www.dpreview.com/articles/nikond200/

Note the comparison to the D2X. Of course, the D2X is a $4000 camera!

No, I looked at the D200 specs. 10.2 megapixels might be of interest for
huge prints, but the 8x10s I output look just fine. Even when I
enlarge, unless I go overboard, the resulting prints don't fall apart.
Don't get me wrong, I am sure it is an improvement, but...I'm not sure
I'd have a use for that megapixel improvement I would see.

Perhaps not.

Lieberman is not relevant as a national political figure, even though
you like to sniff up his butt.

I understand Bush is going to try to play defense again tomorrow,
releasing Reason #997 why he invaded Iraq or why we must stay there. I
predict that dog won't hunt, either. His new "immigration" policy,
released yesterday and today, is more of the same, a payoff to US
businessmen who want to hire aliens and pay chem crap.

You ought to head over to Iraq as a volunteer, Herring. Perhaps if you
are kidnapped, you can tell your captors how wonderful Bush is, just
before they give you a really close haircut.

If the Army'd take me, I'd go in a minute!

they're honest and the rest of us are hypocrites. Nothing real is ever
perfect enough to satisfy them, so are they are constantly complaining and
criticizing -- to the point of verbal abuse and insult. "
