Cameras

I had long wanted to upgrade my D300s and D700, and this used body came along together with some great lenses.

I bought this used together with a couple of kit lenses as a replacement for my previous D5100, which stopped working.

I bought the D5100 primarily to play around with video. It has OK video performance and an articulated LCD, which makes it great for the purpose. I have shot some video, but not really gotten started yet, but I have on the other hand shot tonnes of stills with this camera, which is much like my beloved D40, but just with a much better resolution and image quality.

I bought this little gem used in Germany for very little money. I was traveling and wanted a backup body for my D200, and this gave me that as well as a smaller and lighter alternative to the pro body. The D40 cannot compete with today's SLRs - not even the most basic entry level bodies - but at the time it did a really good job, and I have sold and used many images from this humble 6 megapixel camera, which I still enjoy handling and shooting. I have shot 17,500 frames with it, and since it was used it has clocked even more.
