Thanks Bambi. Much appreciated - jimmy

so what made you switch? seems like buying all new lenses, etc., would be a pretty pricey proposition, unless there was some compelling reason to change systems...

I'd say the motto of the Filson Clothing Company sums it up well enough.

Hi squirl. The reason I switched to Nikon is because I wanted a camera with accurate, sharp and consistent auto focus. The Nikon D700 has AMAZING auto focus. I had a chance to try a friends D700 and I was sold. The AUTO ISO feature is also a wonderful feature to have when shooting in constantly changing light. I could go on and on but really I switched because of the accurate auto focus. All the brands have there good points and bad. I guess it boils down to what is important to you - jimmy

I really like this shot JJJ! Nice feel composition and treatment.

"All the brands have there good points and bad. I guess it boils down to what is important to you - jimmy" I so agree with that.

Question about the D700, I tested one a few months ago but didn't notice this: Supposedly the viewfinder is not at 100%. It shows only 90-95% of the scene. Have you noticed this or any consequence of this fact?

Thx! - Marko

Nice shot, Jimmy!

Hi Marko. I wear eyeglasses so I really don't get a normal or even a great view through the viewfinder. Eyeglasses don't let your eye get right up to the viewfinder window! This is a pain. I can tell you the D700 viewfinder appears larger and much brighter than my Canon 40D. Thanks for the nice comments on my pic - jimmy
