It is interesting. I feel exactly the same about my D3s and my other cameras. The D800 is very good but requires greater concentration of effort. The D300 doesnt really do it for me unless the light is good. The D700, D3 and D3S are so easy to use. The new Fuji XPro1 and XE1 need a different level of effort but are wonderfully light and IQ is just as good as the D3 in studio.

Hopefully the D400 will be here soon(ish) and then you will have a choice. Hopefully, I will be in employment when it finally gets released and can afford to buy one! ![]() I was about to look at that DX v FX article that JK posted when I noticed a link to this: ![]() http://www.bythom.com/gal2014s2.pdf I want to go!! And with my new D400. lol

Yes I have had my eye on his trips to Galapagos. Very nice but very expensive ($10000/per person). Cheaper to self arrange then you can stay as long as you like up to the maximum period which I think is three weeks unless you have a work permit. However you wont get to see al the islands he goes to. Do you think that Pirate Judith could get one of the ferries to abscond to Galalpagos?

I don't think even Pirate Jude could manage to nick a ferry!! lol I hope to be oil rig Jude soon but that doesn't help us either! It would be a fantastic holiday though.

From Thom: "Modern lenses resolve quite well, so let me explain this a bit more theoretically than practically. Imagine a lens that can only resolve lines about 6 microns in size (that would be one photosite wide in a 24mp FX sensor). What happens when you put that lens on a camera that resolves 4 microns in size (the photosite of a 24mp DX sensor)? Right, the lens isn't up to the capabilities of the capture system behind it and you'll be getting a little bit of edge blur as discrete lines spill over into part of an adjacent pixel. Moreover, let's assume that you're handholding and you move the camera 1 micron while shooting your image. In FX we've got a 17% pixel blur, in DX we've got a 25% pixel blur. (Remember, this is all theoretically arbitrary to help you understand the point I'm trying to make; in practice things are much more complicated.) Technically, the FX camera is a more "relaxed" system than the DX camera when it comes to critical sharpness: FX can use lenses with a little less resolution than DX (all else equal), and you can handle the FX body a little more sloppily and get the same results you'd get in DX being more careful. While this may surprise you, this is not really different than the way it was with film. Medium format cameras could get by with lenses that were a little less resolution capable than 35mm cameras. That's not exactly the way people tended to use them, though: most medium format film users were trying to make bigger prints, so it was really the magnification issue that drove most of the 35mm/MF comparisons. As long as you didn't compromise the lens quality/handling in MF more than the extra magnification of 35mm, you were still better off, and if you didn't compromise those things at all, you were far better off." Exactly what Eric has been saying about DX vs FX and technique.

I think FX is fine for landscapes and short lens stuff but for long telephoto and sports work we really do need DX. That is why there are so many people waiting for the D400!

As time moves on D400 looks as if it may not come at all!

That certainly seems to be the case at present but Nikon has a new product in the wings for announcement in the next couple of months. That said I am very happy to pull the trigger to buy a D7100 as apart from the buffer size it seems to fulfill all my purchase criteria. The 10 pin socket and a bigger buffer that I hoped would come in a D400 may have to be sacrificed.

I know of only one person who has a D7100 here in Spain. I guess that there are more in places like USA, UK and Germany. Or are we really at a point where people have enough camera specification ? The only other explanation is that there is a real economic crisis and nothing is being bought - I dont believe that!
