resistance to persistence

i sold my Nikon SLR today. it was painful to part with it as i feel an emotional attachment to it. it was my first serious camera and i’ve used it a fair amount. had a lot of fun and took some great photos with it. but i had to part with it to make way (and give me some extra $$) to get my new DSLR. I’m looking at getting the Nikon D70S. I considered the Nikon D200, but it’s at least $1300 more for that body. I can’t justify (although I would really love it) spending that much more for the D200. I don’t think it will make my photos look $1300 better. The D200 is a better body, with some better controls but I think I can live with taking a few extra steps to control my settings.

oh yeah…i sold my camera on craigslist. i opted to skip ebay since i didn’t want to have to deal with bidding, shipping, etc. i posted to craigslist 4 days ago, met the buyer today at lunch at a starbucks and it was all done. old fashioned technology - a handshake and a deal made.
