where is your workshop taking place? in the NYC area?. . .VERY nice pictures, great eye. . . .please PM me with details, I'd like to learn. . .
Well it's good. But I've seen better pictures. There are a couple in there that wouldn't come out too well with a lesser camera though.
I know a new camera is released every year and typically its more or less the same as its predecessor with a couple added bells or MPs, the D3 and D300 though have a lot more to offer with their CMOS sensors and high quality high ISO photos. A D200 on 1600 is too grainy for me. Being able to shoot at a high iso with quality presents so many more options.
I do love the D200 though so Im not that mad I guess Ill pick up the 300 in a couple years right before the 400 comes out.
What I am waiting for is high ISO images from the D300, to see if they are an improvement as well.
I desperately want a D3 but there is absolutely, positively no way I can justify spending that kind of money on a new camera unless I start taking pictures commercially again.
I actually sat down last night and started thinking about doing things like senior pictures, memory mates, etc... next year. Just about anything but weddings (that one is a non-starter for me).
That's a sweet leap! :thumbup:
The ISO performance is a major magnet for me.
I wonder how the C team is going to respond.
(they should start with hiring a good team of designers).
D-50 a new camera is released every year. Think of it this way. By the time the D300 actually gets to stores it'll be another 2 months. And at that time you will have 5 months extra shooting time and it won't seem so bad anymore.
Why not read any one of the billion review articles out there which explains who made the sensors!
Well... I have always been told its not the camera its the photographer... blah blah blah.. But whatever thats a kickbutt camera and if I had extra cash... I would.... still not buy it and keep my d50 and d200.
:)
Kills me I bought my D200 about three months ago with no knowledge of the D3 or D300. Wish I had waited!!
The sensor. Does anyone know if it was done in-house or is it Sony?
*drools*
Thanks Mike. I really want one of these manufacturers to hook up with Leica rf or they should roll out rf's. Good ISO performance and rf's can be a great team.
Why not read any one of the billion review articles out there which explains who made the sensors!I understand your discomfort towards ppl not taking adequate effort. I don't have to or want to take an effort for this question. It was simple curiosity.
Either way, how about move on the next thread when you see a question like this?
Here are some...

They could have been made to look better but should show real world results.
slick. real slick.
I want one soooooooooo bad but just cant afford it
LOL Too much like a plan! The D300's made by Sony (Nikon design?), the D3 is fully Nikon.
