They drank the Kool Aid - must resist! For me when Nikon comes out with AF lenses that have the same character as the Leica and Zeiss adopted lenses I will then consider switching but not till that happens.It feels weird that our two illustrious forum leaders are downshifting their DB's.
Damn, this D800 must be good.....
And they probably own iPhones as well.Bottom line is, it is hard to find a photographer (whom I know personally) who owns either P65+, IQ160 or IQ180 didn't order Nikon D800 yet!

:thumbs: Exactly.... whatever you bought last year in MF is no dinosaur either it still is the best image quality you can get your hands on.

Now I feel paranoid as I qualify in that group but have no interest in ordering a D800 but I do own an iPhone....?And they probably own iPhones as well.
Most Pros run two systems anyway some 3 so no real surprise there but if your talking 35mm than sure the D800 is the best there is and that makes perfect sense to have a D800 and folks will sell off there Canons and older Nikons to get one or the D4 as well. Lets face it and I have said this all along its a great cheat system. You get some horsepower that is pretty obvious. But its not a replacement and I think there lies the confusion. I can't shoot great wide angle tech cam kind of movements with a Nikon, there is nothing that will match that. So yea great system but like every other system it has its limitations as well. Now if your a wildlife shooter than hell Nikon smokes a MF anyway. It all depends on your photography and what you do.
I am thinking bigger formatsAnd Leica lenses going up
Bad economy didn't you watch CNN or MSNBC or listen to that guy on TV once and awhile...everything is going to be fine were doing good now its been tough but it takes time and things are much better now than three years ago!We need to remember as well the economy still sucks and many Pros are struggling to keep the doors open. Honestly we are the worst gage of the market since things are bad or our clients have sliced our pricing to ****. My 30 times a year client is down to 6 if that tells you anything and i have nothing to do with that reduction they still love me to death but there just is no budget for them. Its a pinch and a lot of guys have gone down the tubes , its sad to watch it happen. The best gage is really the hobbyist as they spend more than we do but Im seeing a lot of them bailing for no damn good reason as well . Maybe they feel the Pros pain and following suit not sure but whatever you bought last year in MF is no dinosaur either it still is the best image quality you can get your hands on. A lot of pros have had to readjust to the market and Im sorry you would be a idiot if your not making changes to that slide. Thats us we have no choices the hobbyist has all the choices in the world to make. Some folks are willing to take a bath on this stuff and thats there choice and it does not always look good in the market and a lot of going out of business stuff that follows it. Its hard to judge this and i think a lot of mistakes are being made. It's sad to watch as i care very much about the industry that supported me for many many years.
Yeah, but what kind of phone do you have?I have a 5Diii, 800E and Aptus II 12 (soon to be IQ180)....
