[QUOTE="Scott Murray, post: 124143, member: 9753"] Jake thanks for your reply. You are right in saying that I am happy with my D800. It would make sense to have a second camera body only for the fact of changing lenses in Africa can be risky due to the high dust content in the air at times, but in saying that I wont be getting it before I leave (I dont think lol). A better super telephoto lens with better low light abilities and the ability to add a TC on to it is on the cards, as with my wildlife and some of the shy animals I am trying to photograph this would be a god send. Africa will give me an understanding of my current set up. I am keen to hear about the new 80-400mmVR AFS and would have bought that if it was released in time. Maybe I can buy it duty free somewhere :). I am unsure if I would honestly like to walk around with 2 bodies but seeing as I have never tried this I cannot discount the idea. I guess I have 2 months to decide, the lenses I am looking at are above my budget but honestly if I go the lens direction then I am willing to spend a bit more to get a quality lens. Hmmm decisions. Maybe I should re-visit this idea when I get back!!! [/QUOTE]
