Plus the D700/MB-D10 has the flexibility of being two parts, so I can have a smaller or larger setup, depending on where I'm going. I don't know that I'd want a fixed pro-size body as my only DSLR.
Just more of the same, hopefully better, though. I already know that this camera is a boon to handheld and windy macro shooting, the high ISO and FPS let me get shots I'd never get with the D200.
Want to feel worse about your photographic skills? Just cruise the photo fora at Fred Miranda. That always sets me back a level or two. No matter how skilled you might be, there is always someone more clever.
So I just have fun with it. I get as much enjoyment out of just being out shooting the pictures, as I do viewing/editing them. I think it is the application of creative energy that does it for me. And to think, most of my life, I had thought myself to be a completely non-creative person

Grats on the new body! I'm jealous
Have you noticed any falloff towards the edges with the full frame?
I forget where, but I was reading someone's page that said full size sensors have a problem related to the angle the light hits the sensor. Basically, the film chemicals are right at the surface of the "sensor", but with a digital sensor, the actual sites where the photons are collected are at the bottom of tiny little buckets. Due to the sharp angle the light hits the sensor, the buckets at the edges of the sensor will not collect as much light as those in the center of the sensor. They had me convinced until I saw your shot with the D700. I had been planning to upgrade to a full size sensor at some point, but that article made me consider sticking to the DX sensor. Have you noticed any fallout?
Even if you have noticed the falloff towards the edges, I'm jealous
I've started to adjust to the focal lengths of my DSLR vs those of my old 35mm film camera, but it's kinda weird, the old length seem "normal" to me. These new focal length seem convoluted

Hi guys, I'm pretty new for DSLRs, and I'm thinking if getting a d90 in next month. I noticed that it has been a while since the d90 first came out, so my question is that should I get d90 next month, or wait for the new model. However, many of you guys would say that camera is a piece of technology, and the next model will come out anyway. So what I'm trying to say here is that I am not in a rush to get d90. Sorry if my English is confusing.

Get the D90 if you think it is what you "need:. I bought my D80 about 2 months before the D90 was released. I might have been able to save a little $$ after the D90 was released, but I wouldn't have bought a D90 at the time. For a little while I regretted buying when I did, but it didn't last long. I'm completely happy with my purchase. Especially if you're new to DSLRs, you will learn soooo much with your first body, that it really won't matter.
It gets said often, but it could be said more and still be true...
The photographer matters more then the gear.
