Then it goes to the 50D up against the D300/D300s which has weather sealed, magnesium body etc, dual dials, top LCD. The D90 is in between a entry and semi pro DX body actually. Canon didn't have anything to compete against the D90 class, except the 60D which was to go head on against the D7000. D7000 then is like between D90 and D300s. Ahh crap I'm confused with what I'm typing already In summary what I could recall back then was... D3000 -> D5100 -> D90 -> D7000 -> D300/D300s 500D -> ??? -> ??? -> 60D -> 50D -> 7D Wait and see I guess... Faster FPS, better ISO, etc is considered upgrade too for me at least. The wireless feature is still damn pricey for most of us especially the ones for D800! And the crap part is, D800 isn't working completely with those Eye-Fi cards T_T My take on this is Nikon is pretty smart this round as previously D700 took a portion of D3's sales! I mean come on, a cheaper body with same sensor, AF, metering and just 1 fps slower but comes with pop up flash. Its a steal! D800 too big? Nah, D800 size is the same as D700! And D800 is much nicer to hold too, improved grip is win. But then again, for me D800 is the best combination so far, 6fps in crop mode as I use the burst majority during motorsport only. D800's pretty good for motorsport, I used it for MotoGP and loving it! Oh right its a poor man's sports gears as I do not have big telephoto like the press D700 8fps in crop mode --> almost no MP left what i meant by big was actually file size. the body size is just nice the file size of d800 is a turn off for alot of people i think..

Personally ive tested both of this lens but still cant make up which one is better. Just want to listen to opinions from all sifus here never used the sigma but have used the tammy. its a good lens considering the price but because of the price, it has its own drawbacks. the thing that annoyed me the most was its damn focusing speed. it will always hunt around abit then it will get focus. and IMO its abit soft at 2.8, step down abit then ok edi lah. but all in all, great bargain for its price

The issue is the focusing speed and accuracy, but that also depends on what the person use the lens for. For general use, it's good enough. For Weddings, it's usable but better if have a more reliable, accurate and faster focusing lens. Overall, it's good enough for general use. Just the focusing speed and accuracy, for important or action scene, you may get much more less usable or spot on shot, which is more important if you're using it for a job. Taken with Tammy: true, i use it for weddings and sometimes, well.. the focusing caused me to curse abit. haha but again, for the price. good lens. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(seather @ Nov 21 2012, 12:10 PM) mid day pic spam.. niceee. where was this?

Casual Junior Member 440 posts Joined: Jul 2010	QUOTE(Tony Stark @ Nov 23 2012, 03:40 PM) i did give nikon BTS a call, they said they need to speak to their technician about it, and it'll take them up to 2 weeks to rectify the problem. its has been all over the web and im pretty sure nikon is not keeping shut about this. in time they will address this problem and fix it. by then it should be the right time for u to upgrade. just wish the D800 is as good as the D700..i mean when the D700 came out, it seems that there's like no probs with it. read somewhere that nikon switching factories may cause the QC interference. but maybe its because of that massive earthquake + flood? it did put the entire japan factory under water remember? not to say im happy about the QC issues lately but maybe thats the reason? dunno lah. All I hope is by next year, no more problems for D800..
