We'll see. It's not my profession, and have never done it to make money at all.
I just don't feel 'into it' at the moment. Maybe it's just a phase that'll pass if I just force myself out there.
Maybe a good car photo shoot will boost my enthusiasm

X100 is easily as good as a D3, again only hindered by focal length. Exposure latitude, sharpness, iso range is very similar. The x100 has some tricks that embarrass a D3 such as flash sync speed, built in ND filter, in camera RAW processor.
D3 is pushing on for nearly 10 year old technology. I would sell the D3 and grab a D800 Dan, it's the only DSLR I would shoot nowadays.
Got a rather nice split screen camper here in London you can play with Dan

I was considering a D800, but I need a battery grip on my cameras now i've got used to it, and this makes it bigger than the d3
. I'm hoping to get hold of a decent second had d3s instead. D3 are still amazing bodies regardless of age. It depends on what you want to shoot I guess, and how arty you want to be. There are pro's and con's to both, but i'd still rather shoot propper DSLR.
Egos aside I am sure many people armed only with a smart phone could outdo those with a dslr which perhaps shows just how unimportant kit is, that said the question did concern kit and like for like there's probably little between the two cameras in image quality but the d3 will have many advantages such as focusing speed for one!

I guess I've used pretty much every pro camera that has been out there the last 10 years, and trust me -the camera doesn't make the image!!!! Ok it can help to the final print, people shouldn't get too wrapped up in their gear and just go shoot images. Study light, study form,texture,shape,shadow,perspective.....far too many excuses over what gear to use.
P.s I wish I had a Leica, it would make me an insanely awesome photographer.

Yep very true - I can't stand Nikon's they all feel like kids toys, where as Canon's are big chunky heavy things that feel good in your hand. LOL It's a very personal preference I've noticed that too - it's really weird. I've bought and sold over a dozen high end canon lenses and sometimes sold them for more than I paid. Buy 2nd hand and sell 2nd hand and you hardly lose a penny. But nikon gear sells for absolute peanuts
You must be talking high end? The 1000D all the way up to the 700D feel plastic fantastic compared to Nikon IMO.
On another note... The UV filter debate. Get some or not?!

Personally I use filters more for protection from scratches. Im bot a fan of hoods on small primes in particular. I doubt uv will effect a lens enough through general exposure.
I see what you're saying, but there are certain things the dslr range will do much better than other camera. These days photoshop etc make things possible that was originally done on the camera like panning. The main issue is that people don't understand composition when it comes to creating an image. Some people just have an eye for it.

I would like one as a secondary camera to my DSLR, but just cant justify the cost!
I could never replace my kit with one though as it just couldnt cut it for the type of photography I take.
Thinking of getting some before I go on holiday as might be in a mixture on conditions!

You could probably download some photoshop actions or Lightroom presets that do it all for you.

Come to daddy....
Definitely one of my favourite cameras!

Welcome to the club
Can't find my nifty fifty anywhere ...
So I've just bought a Sigma 30mm 1.4 to replace it.
Due for delivery tomorrow - no doubt the 50 will be sat somewhere dead obvious as I walk back from the front room :dapprove:

That's a new one! I might use that excuse soon.
Ha. Go for it :approve:
If it turns up I'll stick it up on here - it'll sell in seconds (probably).

Lol! I never thought of losing my kit as an excuse to buy more haha!
I normally just go home and tell the mrs I have already bought it.... Then she can't moan at me as I already have it lol! However she encouraged me to buy the D800 :/
It has nearly paid for itself already, so new lens next month, i have just picked up a sb-900 flash for £90 + my old tatty sb-600

I know lol!
I've been trying to not look into it too much. I'm buying loads of things for a house at the moment, so I can't really look into it anyway.
I might be selling my 70-200mm VRII after my next (and last!!) wedding in June, so I may get one with the money from that.....we'll see.

If it improves the focusing then yes, as that can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
And I think the new one has a MUCH better digital viewfinder display too.

Still selling all your kit then Dan?
I was going to say dude - that's one hell of a reason to get a new lens, I like it!

Not sure yet.
I'll probably sell the 70-200 as I don't use it as often as I'd like, and I don't do any Motorsport stuff anymore so its a bit pointless for me.

Got to go to Liverpool tomorrow to sort out my passport. Are there any interesting places to photograph whilst I'm there? Might as well make the best of my unplanned day off work.
