Got to looking at my 6 year old hard worked sometimes abused Sony A200. Large areas on the body finish are worn slick from handling, got some dust in the viewfinder, probably over 100,000 shutter clicks, although it was never made to be a pro camera it has done the job.
It still works great, but one of these days it ain't gonna wake up!
Found another copy that seems to have spent it's life in a sealed airtight bag, bought it with an extended warranty, 30 months total coverage.
I have a little Nikon L110 but it's a toy, got to have some beef!
Most of my lenses are approaching the 30 year mark, no signs of quitting, and if you want to shoot Minolta lenses you need a Sony.
I prefer Nikon.
That’s lovely !
What a beautiful creature and setting!
Well, there is always the “money is no object” full frame Sony Alpha SLT-A99. It has a very good reputation with landscape photographers and is larger than the other two cameras I mentioned.
