Your wife probably should not see this post (or maybee she should:rolleyes1 ) but ---it is fantastic. I love the D200 but it is another world with the D2x. Focus is spot on and fast - you don't even think about it. I found for dance the HSC high speed crop mode was very useful. I could turn it on when I was zooming in for individual shots and then turn it off when I was doing more company stuff. This way I could just leave the 70-200 on and not have to move a lot. The shutter lag is noticably shorter on the D2x and the D200 was quick to begin with.

As you know dance is dark and fast moving -- shot mostly at 800 with autoiso on to try to get 1/125s. A little noise in the pictures, but won't be bad at 8x10 and under. Shot on M size which is almost an 8x10 at 300dpi.

That's what I've heard!! I'm a bit confused on the high speed crop. What does that actually do?

It only uses the center part of the sensor so instead of getting a 1.5x crop it acts as a 2x crop. In HSC mode you can shoot up to 8 fps compared to 5 fps on the whole sensor

And you can read 'doctor' handwriting, too! (Though, I worked at the Rx desk of a large pharmacy for 2 years in high school... I can pretty much decipher anything after that!!!)

Hey, Virgil....
I'm at the Apple Store. Wish you lived closer....you could join us! :)
 
Need some quick prayers, pixie dust:wizard: , and most importantly, RAIN... :dance3: (that's my rain dance)

the same subdivision right near us that lost a few houses last year is battling a 45 acre brush fire... I'm watching it out my front window, while also watching it on the news... it just started about 2 hours ago... looks like they might be making some progress... but who knows.

Jim & Sharon... how's it look from your house?

I did not know anything was going on. I've been busy cooking and cleaning (my new life since I'm home alone).

Guess I'll have to drive over in the Jeep. That will make it rain.
 
That's OK - I ordered this online today.... I have an Apple store right here!!!

My New Toy!!!!
