[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 229348, member: 3903"] I still love my D700. I know it might not be THE camera for advertising and billboard production, but it produces "[I]Fantastic files[/I]" and can handle at least 95% of today's photographic needs. The thing is it's almost foolproof, give it any situation and it will come out shining with results that are sometimes just amazing. I will NEVER sell mine. And I love the grip, the high ISO, and the sharpness and colour depth that it can produce. I know the newer cameras are very tempting, but, as a tool to makes pictures, the D700 is still MY CHAMP! I lurk at the Sony Alpha-7/r, but the handling of my D700 has become second nature and I don't feel I want to start fumbling with another model, get other lenses, be using 2 different systems, so I'll stick to what I have now and the D700 is my to go to camera. My D600, I use more for travel since it's smaller and lighter. How long before you know what will happen with your D800E? When you switched from 700 to 800E, did you see that much difference in your "prints"? Marketing has so much power on our desires that it's sometimes hard to stay cool and only buy what we need versus what we'd like to have, but on the other hand, I think it's better to have less and enjoy life more. Like instead of spending 3000$ on a Df, I can travel for a whole month and come back with a lot more pictures than if I'd have the Df at home and just kept shooting things around the house... But it's not easy to deal with our little demons, NAS is a strong obsession. DAMHIK :) [/QUOTE]
