What are you asking? I am also looking for a 70-200 f/2.8 if you have an extra

$399 plus shipping to the USA

I don't think there's an obvious answer, as it really depends on what you want. Questions you should ask yourself: how do you feel about the much greater bulk and weight of a D3s, how frequently will you use the expanded ISO range, are you convinced you'll use video, etc. While I'm certain there will be a follow-on to the D700, there are no ... Read Moreannounced specs, so it's not easy to trade that hypothetical camera against the current D3s or your D700. In my case, I like the larger size unless I'm trying to be less conscipuous or I'm walking long distances. The video isn't something I'd likely use.

Thanks Rick. The ISO is something I believe I'll find useful as my children are in grade school playing indoor basketball, volleyball and etc. They play in gyms that are notable for their terrible lighting so I wind up boosting my ISO to as much as H1 to catch action.

I am using an MBD-10 right now to increase the frame rate so I think I will be OK with the extra bulk.

I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Looking forward to the LR3 Beta discussion. I loaded it but didn't see a whole lot of new stuff. The biggest change I saw was the import screen. Hopefully you guys can tell me what I missed!

There are a lot of subtle evolutionary changes across the interface to speed things up. Some aren't obvious at first glance. Noise reduction is being revamped (work in progress) and initial indications are that it's an excellent improvement. Code is being rewritten to speed up processing times. Keep in mind that 3.0 isn't done yet, so some of the planned improvements aren't done yet (and some aren't announced yet).

I use the Think Tank wallets. They are usually free with every bag purchase.

Ditto for me, too.

We expect a full review so that you can infl...er inspire us to spend even more money to get one of our own. :-D

The comparison to the 200 f2 will be very interesting.

That's a great deal. :)

It definitely sounds like something different. I got the same deal that Jason mentions and while it's not the cheapest magazine in existence, it's a quality publication.

Good news update. The REAL "Outdoor Photography" from Britain is available at Ottawa's largest magazine store, for $11.75 Cdn plus tax, for $13.28 total. It's very good and I intend to subscribe because 56.70 pounds for a year works out to $8.34 Cdn an issue, a consuderable savng.
The location guides are even useful since I usually visit the U.K. once a year. Thanks to Rick and Jason for the tip.

Jason, are you getting the D3s?

I'm not planning on it. My D3 is just fine.

That little fisheye is sweet.

Just sold it, too.
