What's the oldest DSLR camera that you still use? I just bought a...
It's only a 6MP camera, but it works and is small. I'm going to use this for traveling and "I don't care" camera. So if it gets scratched or bashed, oh well. For $150 bucks, I couldn't say no! 
I wish I could find it again, but a few years ago I came across a Russian photographer's website that featured some of the finest landscape images I've ever seen...all shot with a D40 and the original 18-200, f3.5/5.6 VR lens! More proof the camera plays a small role in the end product......You made a fine purchase.....
Why so serious?

How much was that D70 to convert to IR?

I think I paid "Life pixel" $275.00 a few years ago. I'm sure its a bit more now, but they do a very good job....

If you wanted to convert the camera back, is a straight forward job? I thought I read that once you convert a camera to IR, that it's a higher cost to convert back. I didn't understand why that would be so. But then again, considering you just dropped $275 to convert to IR, if converting it back would be more... I would really think twice about how much I will use the camera.
