So, since no one is watching...did you buy that camera?

I tried three local places, two camera shops and Best Buy. None had the
D200. The girl at Ritz Camera suggested I buy direct from Nikon on the
'net. I'd rather buy from a camera shop in case I have questions or
issues. All told me it would be 2 weeks to a month to get it.

Meanwhile, I've also been looking at - ready for this? - the DX2. I
need to investigate this a bit more, but if I am going to make a
significant investment in a camera, I might as well consider it.

So, unlike me, I resisted the impulsive temptation to buy on-line or
order yet from the camera shop. I need to read and learn more first. It
will definitely be the D200 or the DX2.

Naw. Get the D200 or the D70s. Or the Canon 5D.

I ruled the DX2 out. I was under the wrong impression that it was not that
much more than a D200, dollar wise. WoW! Was I wrong.

The camera shop did have the D70s in stock. I might go back for another
look. From what I understand, the D70s does not have some of the features
of the D200, but I haven't a clue what they are, except that the former does
not have the wireless transmission capability to the computer. What about
optics?
