There's a crazy mentality you see on the forums where the "old" cameras are suddenly obsolete when the new one is announced. I truly believe a D3s and a D3x is all the camera 99% of us will ever need. I wouldn't mind having the newer models, but I certainly don't need them. Probably won't upgrade for a year or two...
Just did a quick search for specs on the rumored D800 see Nikonrumors . com Makes me question the need for the D3x with those suggested specs (36MP). I've been stuck in Iraq for a year deployment so I've got some research to do. I did alot of hikey background replacement out there for portraits of soldiers and more detail around the hair was needed for clean masks. So if D800 will be 36Mp Hmmm? John - Maybe you could do some D3 vs D3x comparisons and uses.
I like John Ricard's video because their live and realistic - not a lot of fluf.
But it is funny what the other commentors have said about how this should be a strap video - ha ha. Nonetheless, I waiting to shoot with my D3x for the right application such as large and wide shots like massive groups or other full spectrum imaging.
I'm actually going to be cleaning my D3s's sensor tonight, wish me luck - using visible light's kit.
Your a bit cynical, don't you think. Not all of us have the budgets to buy a D3x any day of the year. For the rest of us, all the stuff that comes with that camera is all we can afford after buying the equalvency of a car...
Not a fan of the way the large strap crosses your chest. Its too noticeable for my tastes. Also, the fast access it provides to the camera just isn't necessary for me. On one of their videos they show a guy on a motorcycle using the strap -again, that just doesn't apply to my shooting style. I've got all day to reach for my camera...
If you have some photographic ability, you should do what I have done -share the knowledge. I have uploaded more than 100 informative videos while you have uploaded none. Why not share your knowledge of photography with others? And when you do so, please have the balls to use your real name and not hide behind a fake name.
