Hi Thorkil, thanks for the kind remarks, and yes, remember when 400ISO was a medium "fast" film?? We have become so used to the the versatility of high ISO digital... But your D800E must have pretty good high ISO, why get rid of it? Its a decent camera, surely??!

Yes, we are some sort of getting spoiled, we expect to go clean all the way to 25.000 or at least 3.200/6.400. Yes 400 was relativ fast those days but not as good as the Velvia 50/100.
Well the 800E is difficult to explain. Yes it should be decent. But non of the Nikon glasses give that touch that I dreamed of. Some Zeiss-lenses get closer, but not enough. But the Leica R-lenses do, but again even though only available as used, they are expensive, and for the time beeing the financial crises in the building-sektor in Denmark means that I have to think twice. So unless I go R the 800E look somewhat flat and uninspiering, and colours are not shining in the way I would like. An OM-D, a RX100, M9(in another leque I know), GXR and GRD look better, and the DP2M, and then that little extra twist in the DP, that means a lot.
The 800D do not inspire me, and thats a pity. But scaling down the ambitions and go with the small but high quality cameras might perhaps turn into a relief. Anyway you get more invisible that way, and less tired.

(and it would be nice with a camera that withstood and keept the inspiration also after the "classic" 2-month I'm-in-love-period, and I have a suspicion that a RX100 could leave me relativ cold after that period, but it might be totally unfair to say so(havn't tried it), and it might solely be prejudices)
