Mmmm.....nothing as exciting and as tasty as new gold Nikon boxes filled with treasures!!!! Savor the moments as you open each box.... with the D200, yes, get that battery charging straightaway and in the meantime you can browse through the manual, put on the camera strap, stare at the camera admiringly and poke at all the buttons.....
Whenever I have bought a new camera my tradition has been to take the very first shot (once battery is charged) of....the box!! LOL! Once that obsessive ritual has been satisfied then I am free to move on with shooting other things, but by gum, I've gotta have the box shot first....
And, oh, yeah, about that Lens Lust Forum.... !!!! I was just fine and dandy with my D70/D70s but for some reason when I bought the D200 that darned thing started bugging the heck out of me, demanding that I buy it all these lenses.... I'd bring home a new lens and the D200 would be happy for a few days and then the demands would start all over again: "buy me THIS lens! Buy me THAT lens!" Aieeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
