I just bought a Fuji X30 as it better than my Nikon as a pocket/walk around camera.
I do find that we need to always compromise with image quality, getting the shot and also not worrying overly on using the best or heavy gear all the time.
Sometimes just getting the shot is what is required.

Getting the shot is ALWAYS what is required. ;-)

I am not suggesting a slide into mediocrity. However, many of the cheap compacts, phone and tablet images we see, fail due to technique rather than the equipment capability. If you know and work within the limitations of the equipment you should always be able to get good images. They may not be as sharp, may have more noise, limitations of reach etc...but the image should be sufficiently engaging to overcome those limitations.

Yes, I so agree with that.
It is about getting the shot. Then make sure it is focussed and correctly exposed. After that go get the next image!

As the old adage says "it's not the camera but the guy/gal behind it that matters".

Today I found the solution to one of my Nikon 'futures' problems.
The DC-MC2 connector.
OK in simple terms the USB-lke connector used on the latest non-professional cameras instead of the 10 pin connector to connect a wired remote or GPS to the camera.
This connector is present on D90, D3xxx series, D5xxx series, D600, D610, D7xxx series, D750 cameras and I think whilst it is simpler it is less good/secure to use.

Well today I found on eBay an adapter cable so I can use all my 10pin cable accessories on my D600, D90 and if I buy one a D750.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120711331532?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

It is or will be soon winging its way to me to go in my accessory cable box. All for the princely sum of £8
I am very happy as now I have the choice of buying a D750 as a FX pairing for my D500.

Anyone want a D3S, D700, D600 in the future. Low mileage, one careful owner.
