The wait for the new pros is stupid long. I was keen on getting the D4, but who the hell knows when it will come out...if it even will!!
As for switching to Canon...noooooo thankyou haha. Plus I have too many lenses and accessories to justify switching!
The focus light isn't a massive deal no, my SB-600 has a/f light assist on it anyways, I just wanted to get it sent off to sort out so I have a fully functioning camera again until I upgrade, and when I upgrade, I have a fully functioning backup!! (Main reason for sending it off was that the lens mount seems to be bent, as it is giving me some serious resistance when changing lenses.)
The D300 is an awesome pro dx camera, and I have taken (in my opinion) some fantastic shots with it, but as it is coming to the end of its life as well, Its time to go fx, and very low light shooting capability with the Ds3 (or ds4 if I can wait)! Then anticipation is killing me, I am actually losing sleep.
The main reason for me titling my thread sad sad day....is because I wont have a camera for OVER A MONTH while Nikons taking a look, and giving it a tune up. Perfect proof of why I need another camera so I always have a back up.........not shooting for a month is killer, especially when I shoot every day!
HURRY THE F@#K UP NIKON AND RELEASE THE D4!!!! (I know they took a beating with those natural disasters which is horrible news...but if they want to make their money back, and compete with Canon, to keep photographers from switching they better hurry the hell up ha)
ps, isnt the world supposed to end this next year.............I sure hope the D4 is released before then.
