Another D810 Islay pix from same place but an early pix needed a bit of Photoshop to get detail in sea.

Have just been sent an image taken on the new Samsung phone.
Gulp....seriously good quality, in a phone!


With regard to the XT comparison.... I have been doing some file cataloging and must say that on the screen, the D7000 and 18-105 lens has surprised me several times with the quality comparied to my other combos...including the XT!

What this says to me, is that if you want to compare cameras these days, you now have to do it with A2 prints or bigger!

Which begs the question ...how many of us print that big? And if not, why are we bothering with big expensive bulky systems?

Errr,.. That is the drum I have been banging for several years.

Answer to your question, because many of us succumb to the Nikon marketing machine and 'peer pressure', as in if 'X' has it then it must be worth shelling out for.

I will say it again, my D200 produces images perfectly adequate for MY needs. The only drawback with the D200 is that it stumbles a little when photographing black cats in coal cellars, that's why I feel the need for a D3, to enhance my capacity for dark shadow detail.

I still maintain that my D600 is my best camera. It lacks some of the solidity and functions of the D3 but I really do like it more than my D800.
My D3S and D3 are my workhorses that give me all I need for most occasions.

I still maintain that 20-24MP is allI need but others may find a need for more.

I'm contemplating a D610 or D750 as I get older and do not want the weight around my neck. If I jump my D3 will be up for grabs Robert.

I've been keeping an eye on d810 prices and just spotted this offer in Jessops. Interesting...£300 discount with a trade in of ANY camera. Might give them a ring to see what the catch is as I'm quite sure they wouldn't be too happy at me handing over my old point and shoot! Lol

As a Canon user I see the D810 as one of the best all round cameras at the moment.
