You want to know what is SICK about my sickness, Justin? The fine folks out at Adorama
also have a couple of D1X / DIH cameras available for about $100, but neither one comes
with a charger. THOSE cameras, at least the D1H, those suckers were FAST, like a scalded
dog. You could get 8-9 frames a second out of it, plus it had a 40 frame buffer in it.
JUST TO HAVE THE BODY IN THE BAG for when I needed something that fast would have
been worth the $105. But without a charger, its not worth it. Maybe to someone who
already has a body and charger and wanted a spare, but DAMMIT, I wanted it to work out.
In the end, I could have picked up a universal RC car charger that probably would have worked
decently, but I started adding it all up and thinking, hell, both my other D-series cameras
can shoot 3-4 frames a second, do you NEED EIGHT? But there will be that one event where
I will think, 'I coulda had that shot'. lol.

That's how diseased you have made me with your DSLRs and your lenses and your big sensors.
I was happily saving money and minding my own business. Now I want to own every sub-$100
piece of used gear I spot.
