Anyone bought one today?
First impressions, or are you all still out in the dark taking pictures :)

P.s I did fondle one today but the sales guy couldn't quite prize open my wallet, if only he knew how close he was though :eek:
 
If the sales guy manages let me know as I would love your D700 :) Well i have no cash so cant really :(
 
If you get either a D3 or a D3s, you will have a camera so adanced that any further advances for the next 10 years will not affect your ability to take great pictures and sell them.

I am not upgrading from my old D3 system - it is still more than good enough for commercial, advertising and editorial work - editorial downgrades the images about 400% when it is finally used. The final print output is the limit. You send in higher resolution images and they just down them to the screen size! (Print screen)

My feelings too.
At this stage the D3 is still a awesome camera and the only thing thats going to change me keeping it.Is when the D4 comes out.

Hopefully it will be just as groundbreaking as the D3 has been

That's exactly where I'm coming from. I may regret saying this, but I can't see any major further advances that are likely to make any difference to selling images.

Just out of interest, what would you want in a D4?

what WOULDN'T you want in a D4? :naughty:

who knows what amazingness nikon will build into it...

if they could actually sort their stuff out with video, the rumoured 14 and 16fps stills shooting sounds pretty cool... a new radio CLS system is waaay needed too imo, increased dynamic range, and doubtless a few other ideas so awesome that no-0one's thought of them yet....

That's what they have been saying 4.5 years ago when D2x was introduced :)

You should not underestimate technology - for cameras I'd say something like back illuminated CMOS will in a next few years enable high resolution yet high sensitive cameras (think D3x resolution with D3 low light performance). And this is just around the corner - who knows what will happen in 10 years...
 
For what I do.Yes it would help.
I shoot music and its really dark a lot of the time...
But right now,My D3 is fantastic for it...
 
kevshore No did not have the early version but will be out sunday using the lens on my nikon D700 so will let you know what I think.

So have you been out in the darkness to play with it?

Other than the video and higher ISO, it's pretty much the same as the D3?

Is it? I've not had it long enough to decide yet. (about an hour or so out of the box.)
According to my dealer, the Nikon rep was raving about the new sensor. I need time to form any opinion on it. Here is my very first shot of my neighbours house. Handheld at iso 12800 using my 24-70mm at f2.8. Not noise reduction at all. Just resized. Not even had time to go into the menu and change any settings. So very basic shot.

In time I will sort some proper shots and tests. No time now though.

Kev.
