p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Would it be stupid to replace my D800 with a Nex-7 | |
I also placed this in the alternative forum group, but then it struck me that maybe Nikon users wouldn't see there and I'd loose a lot of insight to my question. If I break any rules by doing that, I'm sorry.
ok - so the subject is bound to cause some reactions - but, I already have a Hasselblad H4D and a Pentax 645D, so I'm quite covered as to what I have. The H4D was a mistake to buy, but hey, I love how it works, and more than that I love how colours are rendered in oposite to Nikon were as I'm never happy at all.
The point is - I was supposed to work together with a fellow photographer, but he seems to loose intrest in the cooperation, and I'm starting to have second thoughts about it all since the whole thing can end up costing me a lot of money if it goes south....roughly 5-20 000 USD in taxes (it would be a story of it own to explain the norwegian tax system with write offs and what happens if one terminates a company before write offs on equipment are done)
Last night I figured that I would rather just go back to being a hobby photographer for a while - I can still be good, but the fact that I have a 8-16 workday and earn 95% of my money on that, does that I can have more fun with photos than I have now were I connect photo to much to broken promises....I have given this guy three shots on making more than promises (he is a friend) and I have tried with others that just never seem to come through, so in terms of working as a photographer I seem to pick the wrong people. Also - I suck on selling my self.
At current time I have a Nikon D800, 14-200 in lenses, that means 14-24,24-70 and so on. And also 85 mm and 105 mm. I figured I could sell all of that, buy the Nex-7 with a 18-200 and a 50 mm and save the rest. I mostly use strobes with my photos, or when the sun is up, I never use low light, , and if I do, I work with a tripod. On Pentax and Hasselblad I have the same area covered, with the same special lenses.
Am I going the wrong way about this?
and
How would the imagequality compare to my D800?
I do mostly:
Beach
Sport (not action for most)
Food
Nature
pictures. I know a new Nex will arrive prop. to feb next year, but seeing as I can get the Nex-7 for 800 USD inc 18-55 lense which I could sell and then buy the 50 mm and 18-200, I figured it was a good deal?
I also got input about buying a fujifilm ex-1 - would that be better?
