    I have a d3x and find I`m limited by lens choice. I`ve been looking for 35 and 50mm lenses which, whilst at f1.4, have: 1. high contrast, 2. high sharpness, 3. excellent bokeh. I couldn`t find ONE with all these qualities combined. Only Leica makes such a lens. Lens choice is the greatest determinant of image quality, so I`ll probably buy a Leica 50mm summilux on a sony nex7, then go full frame, either hopefully with something similar to the nex, or sell the d3x and go M9/10

    @Osteballer it’s a camera! it’s not trying to grab the standard consumer by throwing in a full hd video mode to sell a shoddy camera.

  12. diezam says:

    @Osteballer Actually, it doesn’t record video. At all.

  13. Osteballer says:

    Haha…. You hold a camera to $5500 in your hands, but can only film it in 360p

    Fantastic camera, I couple this body with a range of f2.8 lenses ( all Nikkor ) and the results are exceptional.

  16. geordieboy65 says:

    I bought this camera 8 months ago along with the 14-24mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm all f2.8, 50mm ( f1.4 ) and a 105mm f2.8 macro as I wanted a high res camera for the work that I do which is portraits, landscapes and macro work. The results from this set up are amazing. It cost me a lot of money but am beginning to get that investment back. The camera performs admirably at 1600 ISO when coupled with the 50mm wide open at f1.4 in low light conditions. Happy shooting lads and lasses.

    @kinyitz025
    Yeah but gear is really important too

  22. nosaeRfOecioV says:

    @GMSamuelRhine Both cameras have their pluses and minuses as with products of all types that compete for market share. One simply has to way those differences and decide which is best for their needs. Both Nikon and Canon make excellent gear capable of producing amazing photographs.

    @belloclic Digital is more convenient and easier for novices to use. But that does not make it better. It has it’s place but when it comes to quality, don’t think so. BTW I shoot Medium and large format. I can get a MF digital back for around 35 Grand. They’ll even through in the camera body for free. yay

  24. belloclic says:

    @Xyb3rTeCh The A55 is great if you want terrible image quality above 400 ISO, barely average auto-focus for sports, slow buffer clear times, and a clunky menu system. The 10fps number is high, but you’re also limted in that mode to no live-view and no exposure control without losing the ability to focus between shots. Not as useful in real life situations as it sounds on paper.
