Should I upgrade D70 to D200?
I made the change from D70 to D200 in february and do not regret it. The D200 is far better in my opinion. I use the 80-400VR and in its focusing speed performance I have noticed no real practical improvment - it is slooow. The hunting of focus drives me nuts and due to focus hunting I delete... -

Acessories: Portable Photo Storage/Viewer
I'm thinking of purchasing a portable photo storage (preferably with a viewer). My memory cards (total of 2.5 GB) will cover for most of my one day shoots, but if I go for a longer trip I would need to carry a laptop with me so that I could move the pics to the laptops hard disc. Now, a...- kyyroju

which lens, nikon/sigma on d200 -help!
I have D200 (previously had D70) using nikon vr 80-400mm as my main lens for birding. Tried a 1.4x teleconverter with this combination and it does not work (very hard to get properly focused pics). I'm saving money for big prime lens - more than likely Nikon's 300mm 2.8 VR + 2.0x teleconverter... -

Stomping around

Tripod, monopod, no-pod survey.
1. tripod - rarely 2. monopod - rarely 3. handheld almost all the time, usually supported on car window etc. A VR lens is a great thing, even at 600mm For pictures: see my gallery - all hand held- kyyroju

GPS and D200, cabling
