Hello all,

New here and just signed up.  I have some experience I used to use 
a old Pentax 35mm camera.  I have just retired and now want to spend my free time learning and taking beautiful professional 
photos.  I bought a Nikon D7200 and then bought 2 lenses.
My favorite is the Nikon DX VR 18-300 ED.  The second is a Nikon
Nikon 50mm 1.4G.  They are a huge improvement  over the two kit lenses that came with the camera.  Looking forward to viewing 
and sharing photos.  Any and all criticism is welcome it is the best way to improve oneself.

Thank you, yes it is.  I bought it new in 2015 and never looked back.
She is a Black edition with the upgraded amber leather interior.
I have a Cobb Accessport and the software to tune myself.  Stock 
it had 545 HP at the crank, 4 wheel dyno tuned it now has 639 HP and 512 ft/lb at the wheels.

Hello Ian
I love the camera just enough control to get into trouble but not overboard.  Small learning curve but once understood and a set of good lenses it performs well into the pro level cameras. The sensitivity is awesome, more than I expected.(astro) With its wifi it is so easy to shoot and immediately drop photos to iPhone (makes it easy to see end result).  Just wish the buffer was larger for shooting high speed.  But for the price you can't beat it.

Won't a battery grip increase buffer?

Oh yeah, and AWD action going on here.  The acceleration of these cars is crazy with all that traction.  

Welcome to PT friend!

Yes, once at Daytona and at Sebring. I love how this car can put to shame car's costing two to three times as much, even with drivers equal to and greater than mine.

My neighbor has one of these.  He has an exhaust on it, and it's loud!  My wife doesn't appreciate it, however I think it sound mean! :beerbang:
