The saga continues.....

I had a Nikon D90 in the kart at Ado last night. Came in this am after 'sleeping on it' and found it GONE.
WHEW, mission accomplished. A man who has bought 5 used bodies in 2 months and still has two does NOT
need another one. Still, by lunch I had found one at my new mortal enemy, B&H. I ordered that one
and then in less than ten minutes, tried to cancel the order by phone. 'Ike" assured me that it was cancelled
and that a cancellation confirmation would be coming my way very soon. Well, that was hours ago. I do NOT
think a confirmation is coming. So I guess now I have a D90 coming. Funny, when I need B&H to be fast,
they are slow, and when I need them to be slow they are fast. Another reason to stick with Ado....they're
ALWAYS SLOW.

Last night I had a dream. I was looking at the large LCD on the back of my Nikon DSLR. Now of course,
I DO NOT HAVE a large LCD screen, I have a D70 and a D100. But in the end, the only reason I thought
I wanted a D90 was for the screen. Anything else I got was a bonus. I love my D70, but I am too old
to be peeping at that little one inch screen. WTH good is something that small? I can't hardly tell $hi+
about what I need to correct from looking at it. But the real reason I was trying to cancel it was that
in the end, I realized for $70 more I could have a D300. I wanted to go to Ado and pick that up instead.

I REALLY wanted a D700. I love the idea of full frame, I had already SHOT with it after the infamous shipping
error. But in the end, I do not have expensive lenses or fast lenses. Full Frame would only serve to highlight
that fact. I would lose the "sweet spot" of the lens projecting onto the crop sensor and likely end up with a
lot of blurry corners in full frame that I would obsess about. So unless I miss my guess, I have a D90 coming.
You'd think I would be more excited.
