Continue with Nikon digital

Somehow I never liked the DX CCD chip size. This is just a subjective thing but as cameras are my hobby facts are less of an issue, aren’t they?

Today, Nikon offers excellent and affordable digital FX cameras. With the D800 release I thought that is the camera I had been waiting for more than 10 years. But some reviews indicating that this is rather a studio and tripod camera kept me waiting. The D600, D610 seemed to be OK. The D750 feels right. This could be a Nikon plan:

• Nikon D750  €1900
• Tele-Zoom
  • Nikkor AF-S 70-300 mm 4.5-5.6G IF-ED VR €450
  • Nikkor AF-S 80–400 mm 4.5–5.6G ED VR €2200
  • Nikkor AF-S 28-300 mm 3.5-5.6G ED VR €770
• Wide & bright
  • Nikkor AF-S 24–70 mm 2.8G ED €1500
  • Tamron SP 24-70mm 2.8 Di VC USD €850
  • Nikkor AF-S 17-35mm 2.8D IF-ED €1500
  • Nikkor AF 20mm 2.8D €580
• Nikon Flash
  • Nikon Flash SB-500 €250
  • Nikon Flash SB-700 €260
  • Nikon Flash SB-910 €400
• Geotagger
  • Nikon GP-1A €220, or
  • Geotagger di-GPS Eco ProFessional M for Nikon €180
• Macro
  • Nikkor AF-S Micro 105 mm 2.8G IF-ED VR €770
  • Zeiss Makro-Planar T* ZF.2 100mm 2.0 €1600

Many options, lots of money to spend until my retirement. And except my old SB-25 flash I can use my old lenses here. But does this really fit my requirements. Mhmm… Good idea. What about my requirements? That is the topic of my next blog.
