[QUOTE="woodspiral, post: 585420, member: 42800"] Really grateful for all your advice and sharing your thoughts. Not trying to wind anyone up, it's just the way I do things, I'm sorry it must be a trifle annoying (and I said the C- word on here, sorry!). The above is a tiny fraction of the amount of research I put into big purchases. I know there's a class of person that just buys something relatively quickly, but it's just not my style. I think if you saw how much research I put into this, you'd think I was crazy. It would be like Odd Couple I guess, with you throwing the linguine against the wall (I'd try to photograph it). I think at some point I'll end up renting a camera type or two for a day before I make my final choice. The feel of it has to be right. It really comforts me that the thermal noise problem publicly acknowledged by Nikon seems to be firmly in the past. The dust/sensor issue seem to affect not everyone as well. The fact that I have located a solid dealer in London really helps my decision, because in the rare event that there is a problem it means I can get the camera back to the dealer without having to post it. It's an interesting time to wait to see how events unfold too. I'm going to wait until at least PhotoPlus - I read a rumour that Nikon might be announcing the successor to the D810 there and also January sales are just around the corner. Like your photos - especially the one of the moon. Best wishes, David. [/QUOTE]
