[QUOTE="Billy Y., post: 259937, member: 10157"] Yeah Marcel, I actually had to get rid of the D4. :( I am starting a new business and the extra 2k came in helpful. But, the D3 is not a disappointment at all. I actually like the functions and button layout better, except there Is no af point scroll in vertical position. I still have complaints about the 80-400, but it is a very useful lens. It has a lot of chatter in AF-c mode, like it just can't figure out the exact point to focus on... mostly at long distances, and oddly, it has been worse in the cold temps of winter. could be due to the huge range of zoom, but you see it in the sequence shots. About 50% keeper rate in a series of say 10 frames, and just to clarify - the 70-200 f2.8 is up at about 85% and costs less. With the 1.4 attached it is only a 340mm but faster aperture wise.
