Old joke to Oscar... Sometime ago we were all teasing him about not including the silly bezel protectors on preowned watches after there was a thread about it... Sorry I thought it was funny but I guess you had to be a part of the old thread

Looks like an amazing camera Oscar, wish I didnt spend all my oney flipping my darn watches, I could consider buying one

I remember the thread well Adam, I was just being facetious(

), but Oscar knows how to take it on the chin!!

Now that's a hell of a camera! Too bad the price is a bit (a lot) out of my budget limits! I think I'll stick with my current Coolpix L120!

Im pretty much sure there is more to it than megapixels for $3k...man there should more to it...

Lens resolution is still way ahead of pixel dynamics.

My shooting style is more for the D4 (higher ISO, fast), but the D800E wouldn't be too bad.

That is too many mega pixels for my taste. Will need to spend money on more hard drives to store those huge files.

But, it will ensure no more Rolex's for a very long time. We can't have that!!!!

AstroBoy · 9 February 2012, 06:12 AM

Me. Waiting for the D300s update!

meloncap78 · 9 February 2012, 06:22 AM

I am happy with my D7000. I will wait till the hype dies down. The only thing that might be intriguing would be a newer FX for a fair price, especially something that you could crop the hell out of without pixelating too much.

Liking my D7000, too.

Its perfect for studio use but unfortunately, they aren't getting any D700 replacement customers on this one but maybe a few D7000 users

I tend to agree.......I wouldn't flip my D700 for a D800......I would rather invest that $$ into a 200-400 VR lens! I went from a D70 to a D700 and skipped all the others.......so maybe after the next few I might upgrade, again. The D700 and D300s bodies we have are perfect for our current and foreseeable needs........but it does seem to be quite the camera!!

I've been trying to justify a 12-24 f2.8 but always back out at the last minute. I currently use a 24-120 f4 as my walk around lens. I'm just waiting for my next trip to force me to just do it.

Understand completely, Renato.....I almost bought the 14-24 last year, just because it is so cool, but thankfully came to my senses!! Have been thinking about the 28-300 VR for a walk around lens for the D700 (that may actually be a reasonably good use of my money)......currently use the 18-200 VR as such on the D300s. I have been wanting to get into more long rang telephotos, lately, and have successfully resisted the 300 2.8 VRII, as well as the 200-400, and now may allow myself to compromise with the Sigma 50-500 (which is probably much better than "i" am, anyways). On ongoing battle, so it seems!!

An expensive game, as is watches, unfortunately.......and I have to contend with my crazy obsession with police memorabilia, as well.....
