Just had my new cameras delivered and I have to say that I am really impressed! It's going to take me a little time to get used to them but then, that's why I bought them at this time of year. It gives me time to get a few shoots under my belt before they are called into use in anger.
Some fabulous features on them which will bore most but my fellow photographers will understand and nod sagely. I can happily shoot with these at ISO 6400. That means a very dimly lit room to most of us and you can easily see the application for that particular feature at a wedding. It allows me to keep higher shutter speeds and get real clarity in the images and that's what counts to clients and why I've just spent £8.5K.
At the moment it's one body and one lens till I get the hang of it and I'll start adding the other lenses and finally the flashes until I'm 100% with it all. I know of one brilliant photographer who loves this camera so much he only has one camera and one lens and he shoots everything on that one lens. So I'll constrain myself until I'm happy that I can get the results I want in terms of quality before I go off exploring the rest of the kit. It could be a little while!
What camera is it? The Nikon D700. One reviewer cited it as the best professional camera ever built. Good enough for me then! ;)
