        five hundred meter aperture spherical telescope, bulky? Not used to working with the LOFAR-installation?

        just buy the D800 its better than this cause this is very expensive

        D800 is aslo full frame dslr camera
        build in flash
        36 MP
        build in flash
        HDR system
        and else but if D800 is too expensive for you just buy the D7100 its similar to D800 like her son :)

        Using this camera is a breath of fresh air, it becomes an extension of yourself and your photographic ambitions. It's a pleasure to use and provides stunning images. I put it down and long to be shooting with it again. Reports of handling issues are not a problem with me - I can easily alter ISO, Exp comp settings when looking through the viewfinder and I never even give the smaller handgrip or shutter position a 1st thought, never mind a second thought. It fits me perfectly! I just wish I didn't wait so long and take credence to negative reports before I plunged and got one! Yes it's expensive, but it is so worth it!!!!!

        I still dont get why people buy this camera when they can get better for less money.


        Is there any reason to buy a camera which is worse in every aspect for more money? What did happen to our human kind?

        Try to get the same on a Medium Format :D it would be about the 3-time size

        I have it a few days now. It handles nicely but it feels a little "plasticky" to me. I like the features. The High ISO performance is great. It works well with the AI/AIS lenses (programming them into the nine non-AF lenses that can be defined and appear in your EXIF data and allows camera to know f-Stop etc). A really nice feature set. SHould have been less expensive as it is being sold, or built more substantially at this price point. No regrets about buying it.

        D800 bulky? Have you used a D4?

        Agree on the price point. But Bulkier SLR!? Have you used a D800? I think that statement was pure hyperbole.

        nice looking camera but not even compare to OM-D E-M1

        Useless, especially at its price point. Plus it's not even a new form factor, just a bulkier slr.
