Damn! I bought my D50 in May of '06 and it's at roughly 10,500 actuations. You've done some good work in that short time, but at that rate your camera is going to die in a couple of years.

Are you asking why I went with a D200?
It was either a D80, 200 or 300. The 80 just didn't seem like enough of an upgrade, I feel like I know the 50 inside and out and I was looking for more of a challenge. The 200 can do tracking and various other things that I've had little experience with.
The D300, while it is great, was just a lot of money. At $1799 it's certainly worth the money, but I couldn't justify dropping that kind of cash. I'm in need of better glass, the extra money will go to better glass at some point. I really thought the live view would be great, but to be honest... I didn't like it. Focusing in live view isn't great, and in handheld mode it actually turns off the live view so it can focus (takes about 1-1.5 seconds). Anyway, long story short - too much money.
The D200 just seemed right, and I got a great deal. Now is the time to buy if anyone's looking for a 200 - everyone who wants the latest and greatest (D300) is selling off their D200. I paid roughly half the cost of the D300 and got a camera that's practically new.
