[QUOTE="eli, post: 125944, member: 10282"] For Backdoor hippie: would you be inclined to check out the Canon 5Dmark iii if you were interested in a full frame camera without the large file sizes of the Nikon 800? Has anyone taken a look at that camera? Is it worth the money? If you weren't a professional or semi-pro photographer, and had no intention of selling photos or of blowing up huge sized prints, would the 36 megapixel 800 be overkill? I will never sell anything but i am intrigued by all the angst about the D600, the immense files of the D800 and the quality of the competition. My daughter just recently married and her wedding photographer - of some note I might add - suggested i avoid the 800 and look at the 700. This was before the 600 was issues, so before all the oil/dust issues. Any thoughts about how one figures out whether to upgrade from the D7000 to full frame, and whether it is worth it to explore alternatives to Nikon. I would appreciate your thoughts. I enjoy technologically sophisticated "tools," but not when they have quality control issues. [/QUOTE]
