SOUP, ARE YOU GOING TO PUT IN THE FIRST £10,000

[Charlotte]

Hold on a minute!

Even though you've removed your camera gear info, I know you've had Nikons the last coupla cameras. Ok so you've sold/sat on/buried your D200, but what about your Nikon lenses You gonna buy a Canon 5D + one lens? Sorry, doesn't make much sense to me. Unless of course you also have Canon lenses already, but I wouldn't know that 'cos you've removed your camera gear info

Sooooooooo ....................... I vote for the D300

And when you've finished with it after a month or so, providing of course it's in good nick, you can sell it off cheaply ... to me

[WOODY]

CHARLOTTE, I NOTICED THAT AS WELL, THAT SOUPS CAMERA GEAR HAS DISAPPEARED I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING HE IS NOT TELLING US.

[Charlotte]

You could be right Woody ... but I can't see anyone asking for advice after the fact, so I don't think Soup has actually bought a new camera yet ... I think he's hiding his lenses to confuse us

[Dave]

Soupy, this meets all your needs :- Buy Multifunction Pop-Up Flash Zoom Digital Camera Wide-Angle Lens £88.91

[Dave]

Humbled tonight

[Soupdragon]

O-perleasssse!

Nobody with an ounce of self respect is going to want to be seen with a D70, that's just plain silly.
Everyone knows it's the camera not the photographer.

D300 all the way. I haven't heard of or experienced the issues you have stated and in my view it is a great camera and a huge step up from the D200.

I used it at a major indoor equine event (stallion show) on Easter Monday and was really pleased with the high ISO capabilities - the D200 just couldn't have coped with it.

Example at ISO 1000 if I remember correctly, hardly any PP except for a very slight Levels tweak and sharpen for web use. The prints have come out very well including a couple of 30x20's:

Very cool indeed.

It never rains as the saying goes.
I have just been offered a used boxed 5D + 24-105 + bits-n-bobs for £1130

Anyhoo, if any other members are interested in a bargain I can post a contact mail address.

[Charlotte]

TBH I'd go the Canon route ... if I didn't have all these Nikon lenses, and I think I've reached the point of no return where that's concerned

I only say that 'cos 99% of pro's I've come across (in books, web galleries etc.) use Canon.

Of course for lesser aspirations, D300 is the way to go

Does that mean you've chosen the D300?
