It's about using the camera skilfully rather than just blasting away with the latest kit.
:applause:


Having the latest and best kit is nice but I still love using my D3S as I know how to do everything I want instinctively.
The D800 has so much more and its all in Menus and things, which takes me away from my comfort zone. I hate having to fiddle on/in the menus.  I rather have a dedicated button.

agreed up to a point jonathan ,i have the d7000 and its a lovely camera to use but i tend to pick up the d300s for everyday use .at this moment in time i have lent the 7000 to my lad but  in todays failing light i was wishing i had the 7000 with me ,i have just deleted every shot i took today apart from one i managed to grab with the V1  as i arrived on site to the only five minutes of sunshine all day .i will post it later but its something i have been discussing with eric i.e the need /ability to fill the frame completely with a subject .    so in the end its what you use the camera for that counts so wheres my d400 ?????

p.s i have also just spent a hour trying to explain to the wife why i need 4 cameras ,that according to her just take pictures ,wheres my blood pressure tablets when you need them :banghead::banghead::banghead:

I agree Jeff.
The ability to fill the frame decides whether you need to crop further. This makes a big difference.


I remember one sports picture editor saying to me get the image tight enough so there is only room to put a single line of text around the image. This meant he could use the image for Spot the Ball competitions without worrying!

Very interesting JK, could still be a while off yet though...

Not understanding why they won'y release it before the Canon 7D?

Marketing tricks I guess.

I can wait. I am not desperate and at this stage will wait and get exactly what I want rather than compromise on a D7100.
The D7100 is very nice but as Jeff has pointed out the buffer is too small for such a high MP camera and I want the 10 pin connector.

At last! It sounds like it's a case of when, not if, now. I want one but need time to save up so don't mind waiting a bit longer. :wine:

I'm perfectly happy using my D300s for all tele work...so it's up to Nikon to make me unhappy with it :-)

I guess I'm hoping they will - I love it but I've been using is now for longer (and more shots) than any camera since the D1

Well since I found the issue I was having with the D300, doing bracketing without my knowledge, I have been more pleased with it but I really would like a few extra MP (16 or 24 probably) and also better Hi ISO so ultimately if offered then I would definitely get one.

Yeah, that would be nice...but how compelling.

I think Eric is right that they may just turn the attention to video...yuck, I hadn't thought of that.

Less noise is a LOT more compelling than more MP
