My newspapers photo department just got approved for a D300, another 300 2.8, and a few other goodies =D

can't wait to play with it..

Admittedly, it's a small jpeg but damn impressive regardless.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1021&amp;message=26712753">http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1021&amp;message=26712753</a</li></ul>

Local store had the D3 in stock yesterday, I've secured carte blanche from my wife for the Nikon system, all that remained was my own common sense.

I decided to stay put for now, but it wasn't easy :)

kris, i'm sure he feels your pain :P

Besides, the D3 and D300 allow you to adjust for backfocus and store individual adjustments for 30 or so lenses.

LOL! I almost took the plunge myself last week but decided to give Canon one more chance. I rarely shoot above ISO 800 (or even above 400), so the D3 would be wasted on me. It is a fine piece of equipment though, there's no denying that.

That said, I have an F3T and have considered getting rid of it.

not the giving away part, but not having them. Well, that sentence didn't make much sense, did it :)

At least I know they are still being used, so that's good :)

Although if your F3T is in good shape, they seem to sell quite well on ebay...

so jealous right now...

It just seems a bit wrong to have money tied up in somethign that will probably never be used. The F3T seems more worthy of holding onto though.

The Pentax LX was sweet. I had a Pentax 67 for awhile. It's too bad they've become such an also ran.

I bet the 7D (or whatever it's called) will match the D3's high ISO quality.
