Re: Not Trains: Camera of Choice

Timely topic, I just a few minutes ago opened the box from Amazon containing my brand new (but discontinued) Nikon D7000. Amazon has them for $489 right now; got mine at $484. I was going to wait for Nikon to roll out the D7200 and get a D7100 after discounting, but came to realize that the D7000 would do all that I need for half the cost.

I shot the pictures at the links below this past October at Chama with our ole reliable Nikon D50 with the 18-200VR zoom. This camera has been our family and vacation workhorse since 2006; I'd have just kept using it, but want better dynamic range and I like to crop for composition and 6MP just doesn't tolerate much of that...

This trip re-energized my interest in railroad photography, which I last did in the '70s with a Nikon F2 Photomic.
