Hey everyone...
Knowing that everyone here loves their a900's (including ME!)... i wanted to get some informal opinions about some things I'm seeing with the d3x. I'm only asking due to the fact that I'm thinking about picking one up in a month or so for better performance during situations where I need similar IQ to the a900 but far better AF and lowlight performance.
I know the IQ of the d3x is nice, but I've yet to see any samples that have the look of the a900/zeiss combination. The review posted on DpReview of the new 50/1.4 reveals a total lack of 3d-mess (imo) that I've begun to enjoy from the a900. This could be the lens, though. The a900 is the only cam I've ever owned that actually like how it looks at 100%. Even the nice stuff deepdiver has posted in the Nikon forum doesn't have the bite (but detailed smoothness) I've come to see in the a900.
So... I guess I'm asking... where I can find d3x samples that have the zeiss look, or something close. Nikon's samples don't do it... Marcus Bell's don't do it... I just can't find any. It's not a deal breaker for me at all, as having a usable high ISO and AF (in fast action) is going to trump the "look"...
... but I'm just curious.
Thanks,
Shelby
