Hi AlfredHi,
For portraits, DOF control is very important. Both the E3 and A700 has greater DOF ( not much difference between the two ) than a 36 x 24 DSLR and that could be a disadvantage sometimes.
I would consider the D700 and the 105 DC for ultimate control of DOF and best noise characteristics at high ISO.
Regards,
Alfred
Hi Jono,Hi Alfred
depends how you do your portraits I guess (very narrow dof is not always good for candids where you are likely to miss the eyes). I'd agree with you about that combination, but of course there are other ff options.
Of course, you could also use the Sony A900 with the 135mm f2.8 STF or the zeiss 85 f1.4 if small depth of field is what you need.
