It's so blasted irritating. (at least, if you can meter with it, I can't figure it out). I like how you can access it right from the body but I hate having to meter separately. (I shoot in M) ..

Would be nice to have people choose a lens based on focal length, aperture and IQ instead of a red ring.  exactly, how many times have we all had to hear this one: which lens should I buy for my *insert canon cropper here*? The 16-35L or the 17-40L or....  L lenses are great, but I just can't stand people who buy them ONLY because they're Ls and refuse to even try anything "less"... My Gear List

I've waited longer then I should have to upgrade. I have a bridal session on April 9th, wedding on April 17th and my D200 is having focus issues and needs to be sent off to be fixed. D3X is better at low iso right? I'd prefer to have the higher ISO abilities (D3s) if anything. I don't need 23mp or whatever it is. D700 is the lowest level I'll get. Just noticed Apex. I'll be up in Raleigh the first weekend of next month visiting the ex. I like that area. I guess if you don't need the megapixels it's not a big deal. I wouldn't say the D3x is better in lowlight, but the D3/D3s is. The D700 would definitely be the better choice.

Just like reviewing a shot. I believe on the Canon LV system you have only two zoom options? something like 2x and 10x? It's been ages so I don't remember exactly. Correct me if I'm wrong.  Live View on the Canons are 5X and 10X.

jacobsen1 Cream of the Crop 9,629 posts Likes: 32 Joined Jan 2006 Location: Mt View, RI More info | liveview is great for landscaping, especially with a 10-stop. But Nikons implementation SUCKS. Has anyone figured out how to get DOF preview to work in it? What about making it take a damn picture when I press the shutter? Maybe I just don't realize it is, but it feels like it's bringing the mirror down then back up before it shoots each time. It should just shoot IMHO.

Live view is actually good for manual focusing and macro work.
