LOL Thanks for bringing back memories.

after a year i banned myself from the camera and lens forums, way too much obsessing going on

so next move was the lighting forum, oh well, way too much obsessing going on over there too

now i hang out here, noinks can't get me to spend money, then Julian shows up, WTF

is there nowhere safe anymore

Sori man. I shouldn't have done that.

I've not seen anyone use the larger Leica telephotos at all. Most that I've seen use the smaller primes.

maybe the reason to go leica is to go back to the basic... and to be able to carry a small very very capable camera. so nobody buys their telephotos

I did make my own problem bcoz' I got caught up in the whole gear obsession thing. Plus,this forum doesn't help much at all when going through the lens forum.

haha yeah... I can say I am done with lens lust, I know what I like, I just can't afford them yet so I am not contemplating on them

I really do like (obsessed) over certain style that I want to be able to do... such as Manny Librodo's travel shooting style.

There was a time when I just stopped posting and would check in once in a while. I guess I'm addicted to the UCPC folk.

hahaha me too... I am addicted here and on the other Nikon thread...other threads interest me sometimes. but most of the time I only like to read here

Well....

1. the D7000 isnt out yet..and id rather like to handle one first...make sure im not upset losing the 2fps and the build quality is good

2. I wanna make sure i make the switch for the right reasons...

In favor are i generally like most of the Nikon lenses, price wise most of the Nikon stuff is the same or less expensive than the Canon equivalents, they also come with hoods and cases for the most part, I generally prefer Nikon's preference to individual dials and switches for functions versus multiple controls on one switch or submenus like Canon..I also really like black lenses and I really like the body upgrade path in Nikon (Where i kinda have one, Whereas in Canon I really do not at the moment and I do not see that changing)...I think Nikon's flash system is vastly superior which might be nice considering i completely hate the 580EX II...I also like their macro flash unit and the ability to use old Ai-S Nikkors again with FULL compatability and metering makes me smile a LOT....Nikon's metering and color cast is closer to what i like...and if i remember right Nikon handles red PERFECTLY which is a problem i've had with my 7D...(My 7D tends to blow the red channel)

Against it...well...I dont think id gain much in image quality, I wont lose much, but in terms of image quality im not gaining much if any (I expect the D7000 to be very good in terms of noise, But I'm not thinking it will be too much better than the 7D..) I'll need to get new memory cards too (since the D7000 uses SD versus CF) I'm also afraid because im dropping down to a high end consumer body from a pro body that ill regret it...

But then again, im seeing the D7000 as a stepping stone, I sacrifice having a D700 now to basically have a lot of good glass to enjoy now, and a lot of glass is better than a D700 with 1 lens to me where id be starting over completely...

Also my estimate could be wrong, Basically i looked at KEH's used prices (as in if i were to buy my Canon gear from them from scratch) and subtracted a few hundred (its like $4900 at KEH to buy all my stuff from them...I wont match their high prices in the sell forum, but i should get like $4500 easily)

Thoughts are apreciated though..i am thinking on this

If you think your reasons justify the $$ then I think you should switch, I listed my reasons before I switched, I was pretty darn sure about it, and I was also pretty sure that the lenses I want are available in Nikon... so now I have no regrets whatsoever in Nikonland

come on now guys. i shave every day. i never let my beard get that long!

I would haveit checked out by your physician.

Hehe! That might just happen when the 1Ds IV is released.

we did, we spent a good $100 for a EMG-NCV something and they did not find anything... and they can't even tell us what it is

I've gone and come close 3 times before, This time i might actually do it, it never was financially feasable for me to do it before (leaving me with basically one, maybe two lenses) which was a large reason i didnt...This time its looking more like a realistic option (Since basically id be out maybe $500 if i bought all of that..)

Also i think the D7000 and the 50 f/1.4G looks really good, and compact/small...I think im very willing to trade 2 fps for portability...

I did start with the D700+50mm f/1.4D but I couldn't stand only having lens, so 3weeks after I bought two more , The Sigma 12-24mm (1 of the reason to go FF) and a cheap but good telephoto 70-300mm... which is usually used for candids only.

do it Kenji, I think the D7000 is impressive, a looootttt better than the 60D photography wise (IMHO).
