Yep. IMO, Nikon has never bettered the D700 for quality of construction. And it had a lovely rendering of color images also.yes, certainly a wonderful picture Pramote.
We should all have stopped at 10 or 12 Mp!

Thanks. Yes, no regrets on the Z7. I did occasionally wish for 3d tracking from my D850, but not enough to regret switching. I find the Z7 a real pleasure to use.That crane is just very nice and very present! :thumbup: And the baboon and leopard is very special too..!!
For my part I must admit, that I certainly don't regret the Z7, its reliable and easygoing as my D3 was, its handy to carry and therefore the first-choice compared to the Df. It is more bright and the lenses too, and its hard to get it Df-look-alike in post,
but still very satisfied, in the nice calm way... (and its so easy to crop without any losses)

Superb, Greg!Goliath crane takes flight out of the reeds of the Chobe River, Botswana.

Delightful Dave! I love shooting hummingbirds. And the lighting in this one is especially nice. I enjoy my 300/2.8 best for this. And I often pair it with 1-3 flashes at high speed sync.Ha! Lately, I have been working back through some older gear and my favorite of all time showed up in my bag.
Been trying to sort out a daily carry and the D2x fits fine with me as it did a decade ago when I was shooting sports and weddings. It has been fun getting back to the D2x. The hummers around here are swarming, so I am getting a good workout on technique! They sure are fast!

The past few days have convinced me that I desperately need my old 70-200/2.8 back, as it was a fantastic combination for me.:thumbup:
Thanks Dave. These are majestic birds, and they are flipping huge! Most of the wildlife on the Chobe are accustomed to the safari boats on the river. And the boat captains are very skilled at approaching gently and quietly. Getting close is just a matter of patience and learning to watch for clues as to the bird’s or animal’s intentions. The herons, cranes, and large raptors like fish and tawny eagles are a bit easier to read, as their size requires more muscle preparation before taking flight. The smaller birds can dart in one twitch. Baboons, monkeys, elephants, buffalo, and even impala were largely unfazed by us. Even crocs. At one point, I could have easily leaned over and touched the snout of a croc that was clearly over 12 feet long. But the hippos. The hippos get pissed off very easily, especially if your captain approaches with a sweeping high speed motion that sends a wave across its snout.Superb, Greg!
The story behind photographs is always interesting. It would be nice to hear yours and how you were able to get so close!:thumbup:
Fort Pickens?It has been fun using the Nikon D2x, it reminds me of a long wonderful experience with my first one. Lately, I have been re-organizing my files and when I came across this, I also felt the original sheer joy of using the first generations of Nikon single-digit D bodies.
