Got to play with a D2H today...

I know.. it's the "other" brand..

But it was interesting to see the difference a pro body offers Vs. the 10D... (which in turn got me even more "stoked" for the MkII 8) )

Af was "wicked fast" (using an 85mm f1.8 Nikkor)

...and 8FPS... homina..

Did not get to see any of the images,. a press photog was here taking pictures of Barry Bostwick and Kate Burton who are doing a reading along with a performance of a new peice of Calssical Music.

He was all together too freindly and accomodating actually handed me his livelyhood right after I asked, "is that the D2H? "

He said he did not like the ISO noise.. he really pines for ISO 800 film which he felt was far superior. (I think Canon does a little better in this regard. )

It was lighter than Imagined (lighter than the 1D bodies I think) but a joy to handle.

Mostly it made me wish I had my freaking camera! (Either of them).. would have been nice to get a shot with "Brad"

And the 85mm f/1.8 was nice

It does seem impressive, doesn't it? Until you take into account that this is a 4.1 megapixel camera vs the 8.2 megapixels of the 1DII. 8)

Oh don't get me wrong.. I wasn't going to say it to his face,. but all I could think was "So nikon finally got it right... THREE YEARS AFTER The 1D was realesed!!"

Ahh, so you're an in-the-closet dark side lover, huh, Jake?
