Another new "victim" of the D2x flu :lol:

Congrats. Oneputt with his new acquisition of the new D2x.
Charge it up and shoot free.

Member of D2 family now is growing up across all other regions.

D2X lust and subsequent purchase may enrage the other half; lengthy hospitalisation may be required. It's rarely fatal, but it sure is spreading! :lol:

Best get a move on and replace that D70 bit in your signature with your new arrival.

Congrats Oneputt. I am, and I suspect I'm not alone, quite green with the ol' envy. More 'brownie points' needed before i attempt to even dream about it!
I'm sure we are going to see some great images with it. Enjoy!!
cheers

I know that the flu is spreading, I tried to control it, I only need a D2X to complete my homeloan debt, after that I may have the flu...
OnePutt, enjoy your new camera

Spada,
The D2x flu is just a breeze in your passion and the homeloan debt is your "Death sentence" or "Life sentence", they won't match to each other. :wink:

Co-incidentially, upon deconstructing the word 'mortgauge' we find the words 'mort' (death) and 'gauge'. This pretty much means a death sentence Birdy :D :D

even after you have acquired the D2X flu the only cure may be a dose of 2.8 lenses and or 200-400 VR's to lower the temp! :cry:

It's true! a Fresh baked Nikkor 200VR f.2 or 300VR/ f2.8 is the supplement vitamin to the cure :roll: after well treatment of the flu :wink:

For dreaming sake Birdy, for I have caught a bad strain of the D2x virus, how much for the 200/2 VR? :lol:

hahahah......that D2X raw files really eats up the space....I'll tell you what Birdie first suggested to me

"Paul..........you need 4 x 4gb flash cards when you have D2x" :shock:

Yes, It's true gentlemen!
It's time to retire all your 1Gb CF card and replacing with the 2Gb or 4Gb.
The unforseen of the damages with the flu!!!!!
And then, what's next? :lol:

With 4Gb cards, then you'll be safely to shoot.
Transferring to your PSD won't much help with the file size of the D2x in full RAW (20Mb/ea).

I think the D2X flu is what you get when you don't own a D2X. Symptoms include turning green and drooling a lot Image .........
