But make no mistake, full frame
is the future, and the future has just arrived.
... the very select few i.e. those who have the need and are prepared
to spend so much on a body also need to be invested in nothing but
the very best lenses. Big investment.
The D3 is all about speed and power. Nikon are obviously packing in
as much grunt as they can muster together with the newly developed
CMOS. This is so far removed from the ordinary user it isn't funny.
I guess the hope is that some (sensor) will trickle down to the
average photographer in time - it hasn't happened with the 5D yet (a
big step below the D3, after all it's in a different market). I
wonder when Nikon will introduce the FX sensor to the mid range body?
I think we are still a long, long way off seeing it available at a
value-for-money price (and do you have the lenses to make use of it?).
