[QUOTE="stevebobb, post: 154493, member: 13314"] Hi Glenn, thank you, that gives me an idea of what they are going for, as I say the vr1 I have seen is in very good condition, seems new to me, its going for $1430 approx. and maybe I might be able to knock him down more? Yes I don't know my away around this website yet, regarding the advertising forum, so thank you for pointing that out. The cheapest I have seen the D800E is $2970 (NEW)this is from reputable camera shops in Beijing.. The Tamron 24-70 lens f2.8 VC I like and can buy for $1110 (NEW)..I know its not Nikon but the Tamron seems a good lens and the VC is useful when using video.. Whereas the Nikon 24-70 f2.8 is $1713 (NEW), a difference of approx. $603 quite substantial amount. I have seen many reviews now about the D800E and lens, and the Tamron seems pretty good lens, compared to the Nikon, I want to buy Nikon but, its $603 more and Very little difference in quality, AND it has VC.. But I don't know what the second hand value would be for a Tamron? Whereas I suppose the Nikon has better second hand value?? But again its $600 more and doesn't have VC or VR. The other lens I want to buy is the Nikon 50mm f1.8G this seems to be a good buy or maybe the 85mm f1.8G? Still not sure on that one yet whether to have the 50 or 85mm? The D800E seems to be a good camera, and worth the money, watching all the reviews they compared the D800E to the Canon 5mk3 and the Canon came out better I think overall, as apparently the new firmware upgrade the canon can now have full uncompressed video out, I believe? But the Nikon has a pop up flash which I like, if ever I wanted to take the D800E out socially with friends and family I don't need to carry around an external flash, little things like that, I like.. But I like the Nikon D800E, due to the 36mp and the possibilities that comes with that size, its been compared with medium formats, and has faired quite well with cameras that are twice the price.. Also some the D800E is in some ways better than the D4 Which is way beyond my pocket!! I guess you just have to balance things up in your mind. I have been pondering about different cameras too D600, D7000, even D7100 but I keep coming back to the D800E, I handled it in the shop for the first time last week, it seemed huge to me first impression, but when I looked through the viewfinder with the Nikon 24-70 it looked amazing!!
