A little bit of Nikon history

I shoot Nikon. I like Nikon. There's a coined term to refer to Nikon-lovers: Nikonians. I don't want to call myself that, but I do like Nikon.

My first DSLR was the D40. I purchased it in December of 2008, and I've already shot more than 100,000 with it. Its shutter actually got stuck after about 80,000 shutter clicks, but I opened it and put some WD40 on the shutter gear wheels and it has sprung back to life! It's one hell of a tough camera!

Now I shoot with a D7000. I'm a happy dog, you can see me hold my Nikon while wagging my tail. Now if I could only get myself some more moolah to buy original Nikon lenses. 

Anyway, have you ever wondered why Nikon cameras today display a red inverted triangle at the front? I'm referring to that red thing at the upper part of the grip. Watch these movies to find out.
