Yes to the D600. Sadly the D800 was way out of my price range. The ISO performance has already blown me away! I did also try out the 50mm f1.4g. Boy is that lens slow to focus compared to the 1.8g - sticking with that lens for sure!

Well I have a done a deal and gone FF. Obviously I have had to start with some lesser lenses, but things will get better after saving!

The focal length is an interesting one. I really thought for my equestrian photography the extra reach would be ideal, but on my latest shoots I have found the 70-300 too long as I have been close to the action and stuck on the 16-85.

I understand the cost, and that it will take a while to get to the holy grail of fixed aperture lenses. I guess I am just wondering if I will notice a difference in IQ with my 'consumer' lenses.

My trouble would be the lenses. I wouldn't be able to jump on the f2.8 lens brigade and would be using the 24-85 'kit', 70-300vr and 50mm f1.8g. I know the latter would be ideal as I find it a little long on crop. I'm only enquring as have had an exchange offer for a clean sensor D600.

I have been on Talk Photography for a number of years now, and I would say 50% of FF users describe pictures produced from FF 'magical' and on another level from crop sensors. Out of interest, what is the true benefit of full frame? I understand that at high ISO levels, any FF camera will...

It's a tough call whether to go full frame as the gap between high end crop and low end full frame is quite small. I got the Nikon D7100 but got close to getting a D600, but the only main advantage was improved high iso performance, but couldn't justify the price difference. I imagine it will...

No, I didn't take any natural light shots. I actually thought the fake tan lines were going to come out worse as in the flesh, they looked a bit worse!

Saving for a new flash as the SB400 is basic (no controls other than off/on) and cant be used off camera sadly.

There was only a small group of people I didn't know there - I can just image how much worse it is at a wedding! And the added pressure of getting it right at a wedding - this was quite low key so pressure was a little lower.

She is 16 lol. I know what you mean Dan - I think that was my fault mainly. Having not done this type of shooting before I was not too confident at directing. I'm hoping the more I do, the more confident I can get. Didnt have any off camera lighting - was all taken with 50mm and SB400 flash...

So apart from a few shots of the wife on holiday etc, I have never done any portraiture work. Our friend asked me to take a couple of shots of her daughter before she headed off to her prom, as all they had were compacts and camera phones. Here are a few of the ones I took. To be honest, for...

A friend has asked if I can take a few prom pics of her daughter. Hopefully these will be outside in the garden. Any tips for decent portraits? Never delved in to this area much! lenses are 50mm, 16-85 and 70-300 and sb400 flash. Need to get some nice shoulder/face shots and full length...

I use the D7100 much like Matt uses the D800. I mainly shoot single shot with 3D tracking for equestrian.

D600 is 5.5fps with or without grip. D7100 is 6, and 7 in the strange crop mode. D800 is only one that goes up with a grip. The let down on both the D7100 and D600 is the buffer size in RAW, so remember that if you want it for lots of sports in RAW. I have no doubt that there will be a D600s...

When is next free one due?

D800 is £1979 new (body only).
