9000 actuations, excellent condition. Used by a wedding photog who has upgraded to D2x. (He charges $3500 US to shot a wedding. Thats his starting price!).

Matt, your right. If I was a little bit weirder I'd say the sound was very sexy. Very very sexy....

I've read that 60x40cm prints are about the maximum, assuming you haven't cropped the image to begin with. Bigger than most prints I do just now anyway.

Ideally I'd love a D2x, that will be next.

My camera arrived yesterday afternoon.

Not happy at all......


Because now I want to buy MORE!!

The thing is in excellent condition, with not a mark on it. Fires off like a machine gun. Came with the 2 spare batteries, box, all orginal packaging.

Extremely happy with the purchase I must say. Now, what to shoot?

Should be a guy in a red suit with some reindeer going by your place sometime through the night, I'm sure you'd get some good money for a photo. Also will give a chance to test out the high iso results on the camera.

Merry Christmas, nice to see you got your present in time.

Raskill - glad the purchase turned out well, and timely arrival.

Fires off like a machine gun


The sound is just fantastic. Could listen to it all day. When shooting out and about people nearby will remark.

What to shoot, does it really matter. Just go out and enjoy your new toy. Look forward to your posting of shots very soon.
