The D3 series is too big and too heavy. Thats why I had a D700 and a D200 as a wedding photographer. Now, I have 'retired' from the wedding business and I'm doing more writing and photography for magazines, websites, etc. I am also selling images via agencies, libraries, fine art sales, greeting cards, and all kinds of stuff.
I moved on from Nikon to Fuji, but it was a love/hate relationship.
I then went to Olympus but all is not as well as I hoped. I like the results, don't like faffing with the camera. I can operate a Nikon in the dark, as its years of familiarity and intuitiveness. I do not miss the weight.
I do miss full frame. But Sony A7 series cameras have crappy battery life, and unless you take our a mortgage for some Zeiss glass the lenses are pretty rubbish too. I do not have a budget for Zeiss. Image prices have gone down and down over the last five years, and making a living is getting harder and harder. Shutterstock pay just $0.25 per image now as one example of what I'm up against.
So. Anyway, enough waffle. I have ordered a used D600 with 26K on the clock. I'll get it tomorrow morning with a 6 month warranty. Wish me luck. Any tips JK?
