I've recently gotten into hiking so mainly I want something that can handle the elements better; get wet, dirty, and banged around. Think war zone photography on a less rugged but similar scale. The D700 did quite well, through rain, mud, and clouded mountain tops, but just doesn't feel like its solid. From my experience with the D2X and D2H in the past pro bodies are just more ergonomics and built like a tank!
I will be hiking the "John Muir Trail" this summer http://www.pcta.org/discover-the-trail/john-muir-trail/ And in another year once I've completed my masters degree, I'm planning to quit my dead end job and hike the Pacific Crest Trail 2600 miles (Mexican border to Canadian border). Plan is if I can hike all 2600 miles straight thru, then I'll apply to some doctoral programs - If I can't finish then I'm not cut out for a PhD.
Mainly I want a camera that can handle the elements and take a beating.
Better image quality and resolution is a plus, but 12MP is good enough for me. ...Show more →
I have to say that I truly admire what you are doing...you a man with a plan. This will be a trip that you will look back on and be very proud of. Hopefully he’ll get some killer images to hang on your walls next to your PhD degree! I think more of us should live like you and have a similar outlook on life.
