下次出门的时候带上吧，让咱们开开眼界。
俺一直在琢磨到底是下次采购计划是什么：200-400呢还是200F2？ 据说200F2加一个TC14以后画质还不差于328，不知是真是假。加一个TC20不就变成400F4了? 流口水啊流口水。
目前经济不好，大型采购有些心虚。。。。。。。。

I got 200/F2 for low light stage, but it is not as fast focus as 300/F2.8 I think, 200-400/F4 is my next buy, but price went up last month

Jerry 同学先说说你的D700用得怎么样？口袋里没有米，D3 只能仰望了。去年摸了一下大眼的D3，想想还是D700比较适合我们穷人。你觉得D700跟D3相比，差了哪里？

Mengxu:

For you, D700 is far better, it is very hard to travel on street with D3, I used in Shanghai few times, not easy to keep away from people's attention. If you are in Europe, there is more of a risk, and it is too heavy to carry around all day on your back. I carry D700 with me everyday, very easy, and I do get a chance to shoot with less distraction.

For real work, when pushed to the limit on speed and low light, I think D3 is better, yes I know it is the same chip, but I can "feel" the difference. I personally think it has a better ISO performance and dynamic range, although I don't have the scientific evidence to prove it. I will get a second D3 if there is no D3X out there, but now I am stuck with its $8k price; don't know how long I have to wait. There are very detailed comparison articles online you can find. Above is just my personal experience for your reference.

Thanks a million, Jerry!

The first place I will bring my new camera is Africa, the weight is a concern too, D200 is already heavy for me due to my lower back issue.

The next question: D700 or 5D Mark II????

If you have D200 now, you should get D700 for same lens, right?

If you want play with Canon, 5D or 5DII are the THE best cameras, better than 1D MarkIII, for sure, I had both, never liked MarkIII

IMHO: you can try Nikon D60+18-200mm for travel, very nice color,so much fun, you can get any picture with no weight, but don't look cool

May I ask what brand car you drive?

一般来说，D3比D700的优点在于：
1. 专业机身，密封性能更好，防水，放撞击等等功能更好，适合我辈粗心大意者使用。
2. 连体手柄。这样放在三脚架上使用远远比D700加附加的手柄稳定。D700加手柄，就算用RRS的L-plate仍然明显晃动很大。
3. 更快的连拍速度。
4. 更好的对焦能力。虽然二者都是51点对焦的软驱，但对焦的硬件不同，普遍认为D3在动态对焦模式下（C Mood)对焦能力更好。 （第三第四两点对于拍风景用于不大，但打鸟运动等用处极为关键）。
5. 更加强大的电池能力（一次充电能拍300-4000张不等，取决于你的拍摄方式）。
还有一些细节的好处如双CF卡等等但不太重要。

D700比D3的优点在于：
1. 体积小，重量轻。
2. 根据Dpreview等权威测试，D700的噪音性能，以及对于风景摄影至关重要的DR还略略好于D3。（二者基本相同）。原因是二者感光片一样，但D700晚一年推出，尼康在驱动程式上小有改进。这和5D MarkII比1Ds Mark III噪音性能更好的道理完全一样。
3. 自带闪光灯！这点对于某些人可能非常非常重要！D3没有联机闪光灯，配合尼康的SB900， SB800, 使用效果不错。但SB600配D3效果就很勉强了，SB400在D3上iTTL 几乎完全无法使用。请记住这一点。买D3你必须同时买SB900或SB800。

对于你来说，D3的优势对你似乎并不重要，而D700的优势却是你看重的地方。

都在帮梦小姐省钱?

I only have D200 with 18-200mm lens, nothing else, that gives me the possibility to change to Canon.

But I don't want to sell my D200, not worth the money and effort, so if I buy 5D Mark II for wide lens, and keep D200 with telephoto lens, it sounds so wierd, it's impossible for me to carry 2 cameras when I travel the world.

So, it ends up that I stick with Nikon eventually; but I am still mouth-watering with Canon's huge selection of lens.... headaches.

I am a poor person, drive a very poor car, but pretty new - 2008 Honda Pilot.

谢谢大眼兄的介绍。看来D700够我折腾一阵的了。



不跟你说了我确实没米，如果你可以说通我家领导，那情况就有转机了。。。 ：）

买Canon. 把你的D200送给你家LD，让他中毒再说，到时侯你的米就白花花的下来了。

领导不碰相机，这是毋庸置疑的事儿了。领导平时什么都帮我干，出门帮我背东西，就是说好，相机他不背，因为他坚决反对，我坚决要买，所以不管我怎么累了，他都不背，宁可我把相机扔了，他也不背。
