:D


I have Color Space / Color Mode as default and turn off or default all Image sharpening/ Tone Compensation.
I shoot RAW and would like have the fast write speed, so I can play around with those later.

Once more thing:

If you shoot with the 70-200VR, set "a4 Lock-On" OFF otherwise you'll get lot of OOF.

Congrats to the both Mitedo & Rob. I'm suitably jealous.

Rob - married life hasn't impacted the lust for gear I see and more importantly you have an understanding wife who lets you indulge it. Lucky man. What did you get Lorraine? :wink:

Rob, I think you've just helped me out - an 85 1.4D* is a whole lot cheaper than a D2X! :lol: :lol:

Cheers

* My Christmas present, (I hope) although Vicki doesn't know it yet :shock:

I really wish I could afford a d2x or a D2hs.

The D70s will do I suppose :)

The wish is rarely comes true, but the want is always easy to reach :wink:

I recently got a new job that pays very well for someone my age and within a few months I could easily afford a new D2x body, But instead I think ill invest in more equipment and a spare D70s body.

But congrats on thier purchase I can only begin to imagin what it's like to swoon over one of those things and then finally get one to yourself.
