Lens is now sold (sorry for not updating ad) but Body and grip are still available.
?1150 for both (incl second genuine Nikon battery)
As previously stated this camera is virtually unused and in showroom condition!
I personally would have liked to see more pixels in the 36mm x 24mm sensor. For those like myself who use the D2Xs this launch follows a little too-closely on the heels of the Xs’s introduction last year.
Whilst I accept that pixel-count alone is no arbiter of image-quality (though some of my Canon-obsessed friends seem to be firmly of that opinion!) it would have been nice to see some of those extra sq/mm used to pack a tad more detail into the raw image and give a bigger canvas to import into PS for PostP.
As I also have (and regularly use) a D200+MB-D200 I own a fair bit of DX glass which is optically fine for most of my general photographic needs with either body. If I upgrade at all in the next year or so it will most-likely swapping the D200 for the 300.
If Nikon follow the path they did with the D2, there will likely be a D3S/D3H (or similarly named) in a year or two, and maybe Xs/Hs to follow those.
Unless you are a full-time pro for whom equipment is a capital expenditure and therefore tax-deductible the cost of high-end gear is getting almost prohibitive. To paraphrase a quote from a review website (cant remember exactly which) while researching the D200 prior to purchase:
“The D200 is 80% of the D2Xs, at a third of the cost” – as an owner of both I can truthfully report this to be an exceptionally accurate assessment!
