I generally use
the camera for object like cars, buildings, watches and of course landscape. There are some more challenging venues to shoot at such as stadiums during matches and vehicles in movement. Also, as you know I'm in marketing and it is highly useful to have the quality of image and resolution that can be printed on very large canvas etc. for commercial-like purposes.
I'll go through the details as soon as I can and any questions that come to mind I'll post here so you can share your opinion. When we meet again at an event I would definitely love to try and take some pics of a watch or similar just to see how it feels and works!
Many thanks!

This is seriously tempting...
I will get a DSLR as soon as I can and this is definitely in the specification and price point I am looking for. Previously I was checking out the D300s so I'll have to compare the two spec wise. Thanks for the post!
re: Tempting
Hello Adamska, I currently use the D300s with the new 28-300 (just got the lens last week, awesome lens!) and like it very much. The D7000 is the D90 replacement and the specs are really impressive. Are you a Nikon guy or Canon? -MW
Ah,
the eternal question, I really only prefer Nikon because of their design and ergonomics that fit me better, technically speaking they are so equally competitive that it would be impossible to select a clear winner. Again, what a coincidence that you actua...
Depends...
I chose Nikon also for it's ergonomics and button layout. The D300s has dual cards and 51 point AF but only 12.3 vs 16.2 megapixels (which may or may not matter to you) and doesn't have the full HD video. The D7000 looks great on the spec sheets but I thi...
The
D300s was recommended to me a few months ago by a professional photographer in the price range I told him I am searching in. Initially I liked the D90 very much but when he told be about the D300s I checked it out online and really loved the specification...
I really like the D300s
What kind of pics do you take? Post any D300s questions here on the forums and I'll do my best to answer. Of course you can mess with mine and see if it works out for you. -MW

Ming, could you
share more on this 28-300 lens, currently using 28-200 thanks in advance
re: Nikon 28-300
Hello Quan! It's the new released Nikon 28-300 f/3.5-5.6 ED VR. Haven't really used it much but I'll be giving it a try at our annual L.A. PuristSPro/Panerai GTG this Friday. I'll take pics of the lens itself shortly but gotta get back to playing Halo Rea...
thanks Ming
when I travel I love to bring it along so I don't have to carry extra lens, please share your experience when you do the GTG, love to have extra 100mm. cheers,
Had the 18-200 and the 28-300 is the replacement lens
I had the 18-200 version 2 with the zoom lock and it was a great travel all around lens. For some strange reason I've been destroying lens every time I've been out to Hawaii lately. When I was in Maui last month, I broke the B+W XS-Pro filter and messed u...

Been thinking of upgrading my D70
But it takes such good pictures, it's hard to justify the cost of something like this.
re: upgrading
It's always nice to have the latest and greatest gadget but if the D70 is working out, IMO there's no need to upgrade. BTW, supposedly next year (I doubt the end of this year as some have speculated) they'll release a FX replacement and/or Nikon 'Evil' ca...
Thanks Ming, Low light has been my only real issue
I do a lot of people shots in low light situations and prefer to have flash minimal. It's why I bought a multi-purpose lens with a low f-stop (2.8) I have a 50mm 1.4 Nikkor, but doesn't do as well as I would have liked. Your advice is solid, so I think I ...
FX is probably your solution...
Hopefully they announce a replacement for the D700 soon, it'll probably be what you need for high ISO. We'll have to talk cameras at the next L.A. GTG! -MW
Great performances! I am always amazed on how it all escalates....
You see your dream tool being anounced, you test it , you compare it then you decide to get it and the next day the successor is there.... It never stops, last time you compared the different classes of products, the DSLRs were not able to film, today all...
the 3D concept is already wearing thin in movies
I think true 3D will come with crisp holographic displays. The public in the U.S. is already starting to cool to the current technology. More the fact that bad films are being made using it, but even still...
I did not want to sound like an old guy dismissing new technologies...
But it is quite long since having had the feeling that something was just plain marketing and not inovative... Good to know it seems real. Cheers. Luc
