Awesome, enjoy. A shame I am just a hobby photographer and would not fully utilize this beast, as it would already be on order :wink:


Same here, I'm not a professional but I had D200 and looking for upgrade and moving to full frame to use all my old lens from the film days.  I still have to get a 24-70 f/2.8 for everyday use, all my old lens are prime.

Strong suggestion: use a good CF card (SanDisk Extreme Pro is great) and not that SD card.  CF cards are considerably faster and more reliable.  Especially when you're using a 64GB card, you don't want to have one die on you 3/4 of the way through your day.
 
Here's my suggestion: keep the SD card and buy a couple of 16GB CF cards.  Write to both and use the SD as backup.  Belt and suspenders!

Have a 64GB Extreme Pro CF already, it is not shipped the same time.  It is set to save RAW to CF and JPG to SD.

These pics were taken with an old Nikon Coolpix S4, not bad quality, but HEAVILY Outdated, discontinued

Yeah, I started with DX and already have 90% of lenses I might ever need especially for DX. I am impatiently awaiting D400 or D7100.

You don't have a speedlight? You could pretty easily set up a macro studio with a speedlight, a cardboard box, paper and tape. Models are nice but not convenient, least in my experience at school where they backed out with alarming regularity.

I like the Canon small cameras better than the Nikons. Check KenRockwell.com He's been reviewing video in his articles lately.
