Nice work, Mr. Alchemy ^^^

That is a nice lens. Here are mine (so far)

16-35 2.8L II
24-70 2.8L
70-200 2.8L IS II
100-400 4.5-5.6L IS

Here you go, D800 is my choice but I love Nikon so I'm a little biased. However read this article and you may be as well!

If someone has questions pertaining to the 5d mark 3 vs D800 email me

I'm a Nikon guy, but the 5D MIII is what the D800 should have been. I was not happy at all with the D800... Which is good because I don't need to want another camera.

very nice :tup: i had the 100-400 for a while, sold it for a good profit after buying it for a steal and deciding i wouldn't use it nearly as much as i thought

Got this one yesterday

Nice shot. The blue photographs nicely, IMO.

I have a hard time reading to much rockwell these days.

Seems so far we have 1 Nikon purist for the D800. And 1 nikon purist for the 5D3.

So far im on the fence. While the 5D3 obviously does a MUCH better job with usefull ISO. The D800 however has almost twice the MP, and for as good as it does im amazed!

I feel like they have done a great job controlling noise for such a high MP. Also when looking at detail, its obvious that the extra MP is going to work by resolving more detail in both low and well lit areas, IMO.

Such a toss up.. if only Nikon would release F4 lenses with VR for under 2k. I think it still comes down to lens selection overall. Takes a real baller to play with 2.8s VR and Nikons, especially past 200mm :icon17:

On a side note my D300s should be out of the repair shop today! Time to compare it directly to this new D3200 i picked up! 24 MP new kid on the block vs the 12MP Old dog from grandpa!

I have been out of the game for awhile so these shots are not all that impressive.. But I have taken a whole 10 shots or so with it and still do not have an initial assesment of the D3200.

Bad news from the camera shop. They are unable to remove the tamron lens that is stuck to my D300s body :shakes head: So i can send it in to Nikon as my last option.

Few more with the D3200 - Images are looking a little soft with the kit lens, im hoping some quality glass will fix that. I will admit i have no idea what im doing in capture NX2.

I'm liking the D800 also, but I'd rather wait for the D400 or whatever it's going to be called. The D800 is too much camera for what I need....heck, my trusty D90 is more than I need. I swear, this hobby is worst than modding cars.

Agreed Mike, im trying to get a grip and realize im not a pro getting paid for photo work. I do find myself OCD'ing out and pixel peeping. Knowing damn well its the tool behind the camera that makes the biggest difference.

But specs are specs and as we get more accustomed to constant upgrades, things are noticed when we revert. Things like a puny viewfinder and horrible battery life makes a good reason for opting to buy the more expensive body (my main 2 gripes with the d3200). The other odd thing is they opted for 12 bit vs 14 bit raw files. I realize this is THE entry level Nikon DSLR for the most part, and i shouldn't expect to much from it. But its helping me understand what i do what from my next camera.

Anyways time will tell.. But i sure wish the D400 or D7100, what ever it will be, was out right now. I really want to test the new sensor. And i wouldn't mind spending another $1000 over the D3200 price to do it. Maybe ill just return it in a month(thanks best buy) and buy a D800 :tup:

My son Colin shot this one:

My thing is, I have no need or want for that many MP's, I do however always want to be able to use more natural light.

Yeah there's pros and cons for me too with that many MP's. HUUUGE raw files on my computer that I keep cramming on there and dont always get around to deleting slow the hell out of my computer. I'm actually looking more in to cinematography at the moment. I've had no interest in it since the start of DSLR's introducing video capabilities until recently when watching a few videos on YouTube by various people who are really making amazing short films using just their DSLR'S and a Glidecam
