LOL, finally decided not to wait for D800 and went with D700. No regrets so far, all my lens are working well with it .

I think I missed out the WB part, got to read it again when I go back.
thanks for the information bro..

yup true...color wash out or not can be done by editing
or u can do some setting in your camera
or shoot in vivid mode heheheh sure powerful color !!

if u use f1.4 with the so thin DOF, i guess it will easy OOF right if u recompose?

I love vivid!
I shot w/ Neutral color the other day but doesn't give a strong feeling of the image itself.
I prefer portrait or vivid nowadays

For KLIMS, all my shots were focused using center AF then recomposed. But gonna try with using the different AF points. Wanted to try yesterday during the photoshoot but then ended up using 70200 and 85 kept in my bag. A bit lazy to walk that much and since was shooting at Jonker Street and high traffic a zoom would be more useful.

I like Vivid too, but I usually tweak the saturation a little.

I only recall Portrait on my D90 and not on the D700.

My usual color tone,

for me I like to apply rule of the third.
IDK why but it works magnificently awesome. maybe just for me!

u mean portrait mode from d scene mode, or Portrait under Picture Control settings?

should be from the Picture Control setting ...

picture control setting
there is no scene mode for D700 ^^
....pro camera mah...cheh!!!

dats y i was thking, D700 where got Portrait mode, haha
but Picture Control oso dun have?

^ P -> scene mode .

what we mean is portrait picture control. CMIIW

D700 picture control only a few, but AFAIK you can actually customize your own right? Like your own naming and stuffs like that. Not quite sure of the procedure.

^
CY why don't you wait for d800 instead?
I mean seriously d700 it's been there for 2 years ++ isn't it?
don't you scare lacking of technology or etc??
take that picture control for example.

CY is loaded la..... D800 comes out den D700 bcome backup la.... easy...... mayb that time CY not aiming for D800 dy lor, D4 I think

Because I want the FX capability for events last month . Can't wait for it hahaha. Its either D700, D3, D3s. D700 is the cheapest plus all my lens are FX lens so I can immediately jump.

i also thought of waiting for the D7000 b4 i got my D90 ... but in the end the D90 fits my budget well and i love it very much ... price to performance ratio is quite good ...
