<p> Happy Wednesday once again! My contribution for today is another image from back in the days of film.</p><div>

I will definitely be keeping the D200, and keep shooting with it to supplement the new body. I am also going to keep my
D40X as a "just in case" body. I am actually going to use both of them this afternoon to shoot soccer, D200 with My AF-S
80-200 T/C 14 combo, and the D40X with my 70-300 VR. I know some folks have issues with the 70-300, but I have
found it to be a pretty good lens for shooting in the daytime. I am leaning more towards the D7100 for the better
autofocus system and high ISO capability when I shoot indoor sports such as baketball. These days, at least for myself
it is easier just to keep my perfectly functioning older equipment rather than trying to sell it to someone who basically
wants it free.

Thank you all very much for the replies! I do like the feel of a larger camera, but probably not enough to give up the
newer features of the D7100. I will definitely have to handle one before a purchase is made. Price wise, I was comparing
a new D300s to a new D7100, and used prices are a lot less. I have read all about the buffer issue, i shoot RAW and
don't use the spray and pray style of shooting so I can work around that. Why can't they make a D400 already, and make
this choice easier :) Just kidding! Your replies are what makes this site great, and help a great deal! Just like when I
posted earlier in the year wether or not I should get rid of my 70-300VR, and by the way I did keep it to accompany the
AF-S 80-200 that I wound up buying. Thanks again, and I'll let you know what choice is made, but the D7100 has the
edge.

So, it's time to upgrade from my D200 which I will be keeping as a secondary camera. I am shooting mostly my kids sports, which are
soccer, baseball, and basketball. I have read about the comparisons between the D300 and D7100, and am just curious to hear some
other opinions. I bought an AF-S 80-200, and TC-14 over the summer, and they have been working very well for me. I won't be using
the T/C for basketball though. Now, back to camera choice. I really like the feel of my D200 and battery grip, and the D300 is about the
same, so that's a plus. I haven't held the D7100 and grip yet, which I really have to do. D300S bodies are more expensive than the
D7100 which seems funny due to the fact that it's a couple of generations older.
I am really leaning more to the D7100 due to the better focusing system, and high iso quality. I don't mind buying used for the D300 at
all, I can get a body and grip for under $1000. The used to new price on the D7100 is negligible, so a new body and grip will run me
about $1500. I definitely will be staying with DX, thus the choice between these two bodies. I am looking forward to reading some of
your opinions, thanks in advance.

Hello Roy, I just tried the combination of MD-2 without the MB-1 on my F2 and the shutter did fire using the cameras
release. Just out of curosity i also tried it with S,C, and L settings on the drive's release. I tried this a few times, and the
film advance lever also worked. Your camera should work fine with the combination that you want, hope this helps you.

<p>More great work once again from everyone, gotta love Nikon Wednesday! My image this week is from the archive, and i chose it because of all the news that was going on at Coney Island over the 4th of July holiday. It's not the Astrotower, but i do like the combination of the Cyclone roller coaster and the abandoned parachute jump. </p><div></div>

A big thank you for the responses! I am going to just keep the 70-300, and supplement my kit by just buying the 80-200.
The couple of hundred $ just isn't worth it, and its always good for a backup. Many thanks again to all, and happy
shooting!
