I have also got the new 24-120 f4 AF-S for the D800 but it is not nearly as good as my other FX lenses and at 24mm there is serious vignetting in the corners. Sharpness is not as good as my 70-24mm f2.8 AF-S.

So yes I could well be interested in a D400 and my old friend 18-200 for future travel pix.

Perhaps I should not tell you that my latest camera is the new Sony RX100 M2 replacing my Nikon V1 as a small very portable with you all the time camera. The results from it are amazing quality and the full HD res AVCHD movie with steady cam is very good. It even has app connection to iPhone to control the camera remotely!


You are not alone in deserting Nikon when it comes to lightweight 'travel' cameras.

Several of us have fallen for the Fuji X series system. Although not as pocketable as the Sony, the Fuji XE1 produces image quality comparable to the Nikon D3. It has functionality quirks that are alien to hardened Nikon users, but with a camera and two lenses (18-55, 55-200) lighter than the 24-70 lens it's ideal for walking about.
