Advice for Camera Selection for a High End Amateur
#18
I am surprised nobody has mentioned the D300s or the D700 (if video is not important) In spite of a12MP sensor, the D300s equals or betters all the cameras mentioned, maybe apart from the 5D markII. It is not the lightest of all, but certainly meets all the other requirements you have mentioned, is rugged and tropicalised, more so than the D7000, and has a great system with one SD and one CF card, which permits very good rafale shooting. The D700 is a D3 in smaller issue and has all what the D300s has, plus a super high ISO performance. Pricewise the D300s is appoaching 1000€ at the Dutch resellers and the D700 is about the same as the 5D MKII! Image quality wise, the D300s equals the best APC bodies and the D700 is equal or better than all the other FF mentioned and better than all the APC bodies. Both cameras are certainly worth a look! Obviously, she cannot go wrong with the choice of lenses from Nikon, Sigma, Tamron, Zeiss! A dream for landscapes, the D700 with the Zeiss 18mm SmileA dream for candid/street photo; D300s with the Nikon 35mm f2! A dream for wildlife, aD300s with the Nikon or Tamron 70-300 or the D700 with a Nikon 300mmf4 with a Nikon converter.
