When I got my D200 I was blown away. Then came the D700 and, to be honest, I was getting as good a result from the D200 as the D700 (sometimes better) at 400 and upto 800ISO

BUT, shooting weddings, often in difficult light, the D700 really made a huge difference. It didn't anywhere else though. I have, on many occassions, thought wow (yes, blowing my own trumpet) at photos and looked at the RAW file to find it was the D200 when I'd assumed it was the D700.

Therefore, if you're not shooting in low light for money, I'd say you can get as good a result with the older cameras as the new ones.

BUT, I have to say that I am blown away by these images from the D800. It is easy to take a bad shot with any camera, and operator skills are not to be taken for granted. But the quality shown here with the D800 really does make me think - I WANT ONE!!

However, 56mb files? Mmmm, that would mean outlaying for more hardware, and definitely updrading if not replacing the main PC (with a mac probably). This means spending around £4,000

Thats something I can do without. Unless I win the Euro lottery tonight!
