I'm still confused in what you're talking about haha

So live view zooming is something the Nikon camera doesn't have as compared to Canon?

No bikini for me

Yeap, umbrella. Would have used more flash and a softbox modifier instead if my friend was around

I think the commander mode most of the time won't be used... only in rare occasions. I rarely use my commander also unless doing strobes that also I rarely strobe because i'm too lazy.

Haha with just 2 flash, I can't exactly even do the standard 3 point lighting for the model let alone the car

Her bf's car, so no issue

I think Nikon dropped the idea of a semi pro / pro DX body already. No new 'pro grade' DX lenses from NIKKOR for sometime.

Actually if you think... Nikon didn't have any body up against 7D... D300s is just a D300 with video, nothing new compared to 40D -> 50D -> 7D kinda upgrade.

IMO back then, D90 was a class by itself with D60/D3000 type body (entry model with single dials) competing against the 500D class from Canon. 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

Hoi hoi... why all think of Maria Osawa ah? Whose she?

Side note, her face is a little 'wide' best if you shoot her from 45 degree angle instead of straight on.

24MP and 10fps, that body need a bigger buffer than the D4

Even bigger buffer than the 1DX? LOL, let's see how it goes.

Already placed my order for one unit hehe, how many units did they use? 2 I guess?

I like this answer

That root can be PP-ed I guess, oh well to avoid hassle during PP just compose better

Ahh damn I just got mine less than 3 months ago now drop.

I'm guessing the price would be similar to the grey sets now, since HK which is Nikon HQ for Asia already dropped on their pricing.

Alternatively can consider Yannick, pretty reliable guy so far.

I noticed something, D800, D800E and D4 did not state Nikon Msia 1 year warranty... the rest mentioned.

That figure is right... LOL my source just informed me. The actual price didn't change, just Nikon bundled item with it.

Nah, something more expensive else the price where can drop that much haha! Just now that thread's pricing is about right.

Price drop on D800 the day before my birthday T_T , nice present!

Anyways,

Bare flash, because I was too damn lazy to fit the umbrella on haha. But for these rim lights, its best to use honeycomb so the light is more directional.
