[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]The point I was making is that not all of us on this forum are Pros.... We have to make buying decisions with a different/additional set of criteria..... The question currently to use a D700 or a D7000 is a $1500 decision..... The question to use the D3s vs a D700 is a $5K decision..... The question to use a cropped sensor vs a FF sensor is a multi Thousand $ decision..... The question of a M8 or M9 is a $5K decision..... The question of a Nocti vs a Summicron is at best, a $3K decision for a used version of each.... Although some amateurs can afford a $7K camera, I suspect, even on this well heeled list, that the majority of us can not. Generally speaking, this list is not sensitive to cost issues. One of my pet peeves.....
