My buddy John also a forum mate, a lurker most of the time is itching to get a D800. And I would be interested is seeing how it works :-)

BUT I really want to get a down sized kit going that will provide imagery on a par with the D700...

I'm getting too old to lug around the 29 pound Domke.. To say nothing about my big glass, it hasn't seen the light of day since last October!!!

Don't tell Iain, but it's going to kill the 7D

Well he has committed to getting the Canon 7D and the 400mm f5.6.
Looks like he is using it already from his last post!

It's a constant catchup and leapfrog game with Nikon and Canon.

If the D400 had come out by now and had been 16mp I might not have moved but I had to make a decision on what was about now and the fact that Nikon have never filled the 400 f4/400f5.6 prime slot.

The Fuji XP100 is as good as the D700. IMHO

The new pro version with lens interchangeability may well give the lightweight flexibility you need...without the temptation of longer heavy lenses.

I agree Eric about the X100 quality.

The new XPro1 is more refined and the interchangeables lenses really make it a dream. I have 60mm f2.4 and 35mm f1.4 lenses. I will get the zoom lens next in 2012/13 when it is released. In the mean time I have got the Kipon adapter coming so I can use my Nikon lenes on the Fuji XPro1.

The 70-200 F4 was another glaring Nikon oversight

There are rumours of a 70-200 f4 being made available soon.

Well I'm not hugely impressed with my first 'slow' lens.

I came upon VERY cheap new D3100, and an even cheaper brand new 18-105 f4-5.6 AFS-VR lens. While it's fine outdoors in bright light the noise is horrendous in poor mixed light. I thought the D200 suffered a it in this department but nothing like the 3100.

It's a kind of gritty noise, which admittedly can be dealt with in Lightroom but untreated it spoils the image.

Not really a problem because low light images are not particularly important to me, merely snapshots, For what I actually got the camera for will be fine in good light.

A sample:

DAD, WHEN will it be fixed?

 My problem with the D800 is burst rate.  I'm waiting for the D300 replacement as well, but I'm also seriously considering the D4. - EdM   


Using the optional multi-power battery pack increases the burst rate.
