[QUOTE="Roger3006, post: 284225, member: 20353"] My progression from film has been a D70, D90, D300, D7100 and then the D800. The D70 and D90 overlapped with film. I started using the first two for scientific stuff I had to email and for a few quick product shots. To long to explain.I really like to shoot with my D300. For the most part I would rather shoot with it than the D7100. It has more of a pro feel. The D7100 has a better autofocus and for sure higher resolution. I wish I could have gotten a DX with the D300 controls with a D7100 sensor and autofocus. That won't happen so I bought a D800 which I love. Not sure which DX I will keep for a backup. Probably both. My next body will be a D4. I feel the D4 will be great for wildlife which is my fun stuff. I will use the D800 in my studio photographing firearms. Hopefully they will outlast me and I hope that is a very long time even though I am on the back nine.You young people will have a hard time understanding this but my favorite all time camera is a Hasselblad 500C with Kodachrome II (ASA 25) or Panatomic X (ASA 32).
