Think about it, you have just purchased a tool actually meant for a
serious Professional and now you are complaining it's too heavy for
you. Give us all a break Iva, you are sounding a little foolish.
It's as if you purchased a Formula 1 racing car and now you are
complaining it goes too fast and the suspension is too hard and the
ride not soft enough for you. You should not even have an
automobile like that in the first place, but you could afford it so
someone sold it to you. It's the same for the D1x camera, you have
the disposable money so someone sold it to you.
You should not have purchased that camera in the first place it was
not really meant for the general photographing public. It sounds
as if the D1x will be hopelessly under used in your care. Like a
little used automobile owned by an old person I suspose ;
)
If the camera is too much for you Iva I suggest you return it
while you can and go back to one of the consumer models made
specifically for the general public. There are many light weight
models available, Nikon even make several that would fit the bill.
And Iva we are not just accepting what's best, personally I have
come from a 40 year history of using Nikon products and the D1x
fits in quite nicely as a continuation in their line of
professional cameras.
Everything in this Universe can be improved Iva, including you ;

It's an object. YES, it CAN be improved, and in many ways. I named
but a few. Let start really being constructive and point out the
OTHER WAYS. There are many.
I would rather be a critic than a cheerleader any day.
D1X is too heavy. Damn fine camera, but it's too damn heavy. I have
found no carrying configuration that is comfortable. While I'm
venting, let me add this: Nikon needs to redesign this camera. It's
clunky. I bet we'll look back on this thing two years from now and
won't want to touch it with a ten foot poll, once more ergonomic
models are the norm.
I don't know about you all, but I'm TIRED of squishing my nose up
against the LCD screen. Yuck!
Also, does anyone like having to rotate portrait shots manually via
software? I do NOT. 5k camera, and Nikon can't auto rotate, or
offer an option to?
Bleck!
