About Just got back to Buenos Aires From El Calafate in Southern Patagonia after having 5 days of hiking and photographing. The weather was varied and moody which is just what i like. We did get one Blue day, as in all blue sky. I am not fond of those as the drama is limited for me...but good for tanning our super white canada like skin. I had a major disaster not long after getting there, a place i have been wanting to go to since i was 18 and am now 49.
My water bottle leaked all of it's 2 liters into the pack where my new D80 was, along with the 18-200mm nikkor VR lens.....ARGGGGGG. After seeing why there was water pouring from my pack!!!! i found my camera drowning and my lens half full of water. Needless to say nothing worked and i was in a HUGE SNIT....poor Debbie. I was in no mood to be consoled. Fortunately after letting it sit for a day it started to work a bit, well enough that i could keep taking photos. The auto focus never did come back and i could not leave the battery in the camera long or it would drain completely in short time. Never the less i still managed to cobble together another 1000 images with my limping D80....gotta say i was impressed that it worked at all.
Hey anyone want a slightly used camera and lens? haha.

Tim what a fantastic shot ... I am familair with the area (photographically) as Peter Eastway and Darren Leal (both Oz photographers worth googling)have both made trips to this mtn... the mishaps with your gear sound incredible and given the tight time frame I would have been goin loopy but then I always remember too Doug Spowart another Oz photographer saying that sometimes its not a bad idea to put the camera down and just do memorygraphs.. but a great shot one of the best I have seen of the peak

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I have to visit this place some day. I'm sorry for your tragedy, but it seems de D80 is kind of workhorse after all.
Regards from Buenos Aires

Superb image of an incredible place Tim. The mishap with the D80 may just be the excuse to go for the D200! All the best!

Hi Joggie,

I considered the D200 but bought the D80 not because the difference in $ value but because of the weight difference ( I hike all the time with it) and the fact that it did all that i needed for a landscape camera that I needed. Although maybe the D200 is a little more water tight...lol.
So far i am very happy with the D80 and would buy another one I think
