to tame, and thus, hard to show my results in public, but come on Sharky-boy, let's see some pics. Your public is
waiting.
On a related note, I gave Shark a whole 24 hours to out-buy me, but I couldn't wait any longer. I have a history of
making BAD $75 dollar camera buys, and also a history of not being able to resist them. I bought that Fujifilm S1500
that turned out to be the most sluggish camera I ever used. I gave it to the kid downstairs from me for $25.
But Ado had a Nikon D50 with two defects, it had a tight power switch and a missing rubber flap that covers
the I/O connectors for file transfer and TV plugging in. Let me say that the power switch IS TIGHT, and a nice
black piece of gaffer's tape has covered the I/O area I never use since I use a card reader. That is by far
and away the best $75 I ever spent on a camera. JUST PERFECT image quality (for my lenses) and it sits
very nicely among my embarassingly, ever-growing collection of Nikon bodies.

Not too much to photograph. I'm holding out until the next 3 to 4 weeks when everything (hopefully) begins to bloom. Those zoo shots were the D100, as were the closeups of the cigar box and beer bottle label. I agree it's kinda finicky but I think I can get a handle on this camera's quirks
