[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 517411, member: 9240"] Would you sell your Chevette if someone gave you a Mustang? Your Caprice if you got a T-Bird? Like I said, I'm happy with my gear, and an "Apples to Apples" swap wouldn't necessarily make a lot of sense. But if I'm swapping out pro-sumer stuff (D610/D750) and a trio of F4 zooms for pro gear (1D/5D) and F2.8 zooms it's not really apples to apples, is it? And the plus is that anything I buy from that point on is at a price point that I couldn't touch otherwise. I'm also looking at it like moving your home. Sometimes there's stuff in boxes that you haven't unpacked since the last move and a change helps you weed out what you thought you needed and really didn't. The main thing is that I need to like it as much as the Nikon gear, and the arrangement is such that I'll be able to shoot both until I make a decision on one or the other - and for sanity sake I [I]need[/I] to settle on one or the other. Because, frankly, the differences are enough (focus vs. room ring position, buttons, etc.) that shooting both would be maddening. [/QUOTE]
