No doubt it will be a good buy. Bought my wife a Nikon S50 a few months ago but she still makes me take the pics.

Nah, I got a D200 pretty cheap a few months ago ;)

The D70s and D200 is all I need right now. I was using the Canon G6 strictly for wide angle shots for montage backgrounds. I haven't used it in about 6 months now.

S50 or D50?
I still own my D50 with over 20000 shots now

Very cool photos! What was your exposure on the last one?  What was the f stop of the lens?

Here is one of mine from Sunday's shoot (no post processing, straight from the camera):

Nice pic Ramsey.  Was this a portrait job you did for someone or is this your line of work?

Those pics you see in Sports Illustrated are not straight from the flash card, they're always post-processed, according to my mentor who worked for them in the late 80's early 90's.

I do some post processing (usually color saturation and contrast tweaking)on the good action shots that we print and display for our picture booth. There are usually 5 or 6 that we pick out week to week for display.  This one above will be used as a 16x20 display when we go to that particular teams home field in 2 weeks.

Nice looking setup.
If I might give you a pointer on your listing.....You are cutting out some really good eBay buyers by limiting bidders with the 100% feedback rating. There are some super buyers that have 98 or so due to feedback from morons who are trying to get something for nothing or scammers.
Also on the "Buy Now" price I would open it up to anyone since you are using PayPal as payment.
Just a suggestion.

Thanks Jackal, you're right. Some of those 98% have sold like 10000 worth of items and that's a pretty decent rating with moving that kind of inventory.

I have to say that is an excellent shot Ramzey.  Blue is definitely her color.

Bug, your shots are getting better and better.  Nice.

Sorry Rip, your hosting site is blocked from work so I can’t see yours.

Raptor, good camera, crappy body design, i hate dials on it
