The M8 is still my everyday carry everywhere camera. The R8DMR is also too heavy for everyday carry, but it is always in the car with the D700. gene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Rabiner" <mark at rabinergroup.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Saturday, January 7, 2012 1:29:09 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: planning your next full frame camera for travel As was the D3 or D2. But people don't buy the D2, 3 or 4. to carry around with them all day or on a vacation or for street shooting. They buy a D700, 800 or 900 which cost and weights half as much has the same sensor and all the necessary features. And usually follows six months later after the introduction of the high priced spread. But with no trans fat. The top line nikon cameras have been made for commercial photographers on commercial jobs or for other other similar very demanding situations. often they need the weight to counterbalance a very long fast optic which costs another seven grand. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2012 16:18:02 +1000 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: [Leica] IMG: planning your next full frame camera for travel > > Rendered to same scale for anyone curious. > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/hoppyman/g/D4M9.jpg.html > > Cheers > Geoff > > *Die besten W?nsche* > http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
