...D810 + 24-70mm f2.8 lens. John Lewis had a 3 days only good deal on the combo so i thought 'why the hell not...' Still a hefty dent in my bank balance though - gulp!!! Happy new (camera) new year to me! Picking it up from the shop on Friday.

I thought you were Scottish! Ye spendthrift, dinny ken , many a mickle makes a muckle! Nice one. You will enjoy. The D810 might need a trial in my hands. The 24-70 is a super useful lens, and is very sharp. Dont stop down past f8. Can be used full open with little quality loss. All you need now is the 70-200 f2.8 AFS VR. YOU KNOW YOU DESERVE IT!

They call paramedics out for serious incidents like that in Yorkshire. Only jealous...my D810 worth of cash went into home decorations and furnishings this time round.

I might consider bringing over to Spain with me mid Jan. If you grovel enough, I might let you touch it. Lol Eric, I had to take several deep breaths before I hit the buy button!! The camera was £2349 but if you buy it with the lens (offer on till 2nd jan), the combo was £3249. So a £300 saving on the lens - and I can claim a further £175 cashback from Nikon, making the lens effectively £725 from an original price of £1235. They don't call us Scots canny for nothing! :thumbsup:

Jonathan, I'm quite happy with my 70-300mm vr. There will be no more silly money purchases unless I get a moneybags job very soon lol. The.d810 is already demanding presents and I haven't even got it yet! CF/SD cards and spare batteries for starters, and it's started eyeing up an 85mm f1.8. EEK,!

LOL well I did promise myself a new camera when I got my job in Shetland and now that it's finished and I got a nice end of contract bonus, I decided to cough up. It has taken a couple of months of palpitations and sharp intakes of breath to do the deed though. I gave up on the d400 coming out so now that I've bought something else, I guess we can expect an announcement any day now!!

Better buy a 4TB drive to store all the images. Those D800 images eat disk space. I am sure you will enjoy the detail in the image. You need to get back into your body painting.

EEK,! 32gb SD + 32gb CF is what I have in mine plus two spare batteries. I havent bought the battery grip as the battery lasts well.
