thank you, i got the camera because of the speed, my last camera took 1 picture per 10 seconds so I got tired of it. Now that i see the quality of the camera, i want to go further into photography.

Welcome. We recently discussed why audio engineers are drawn to photography on another audio forum. It really was interesting that we all shared a set of hobbies

D200 is more than a good start. It's a good end too. I know some local pros who use this camera.

Yeah what I was thinking is that you hit the photography bug hard! I just got into it a few months ago and I though I was crazy for stating SLR without a year of practicing on a smaller compact, but you went into the pro0sumer/pro catagory! Hey, more power to ya! you can make some great pics with that equipment, the knowledge and expertise will come with time.

 

[bnkrecords]

yeah, i get that from my studio hobby. I usually go all out and get one of the best products. I figure I might as well start off at the top rather than work my way up. Saves money.

Im studying audio engineering and love photography. It is a weird connection, which Im not sure what that connection actually is lol.

Well you started at the top for the camera body and flash system, but you started at the bottom of the real parts: the lenses.
