Yes, I am serious. And I am not and was never interested in \"features\" I just need a camera that does what I want to and does it in highest (payable) IQ.
For me a \"pro\" model is not done with great build, fantastic features and a pro price.
IQ is what counts for me first. Fullfilling MY needs (yes, Iam egocentic) is second.
If I can afford it is third. To me nothing else counts.
I liked the D700 from first in hands. I nearly fell in love with it. But 12 MP was less, what I needed. So it was gone. \"Your\" D3 pro body (imo never a pro - 3DX was one) was a competitor against 1Ds MK III. Both where outsolved by the \"mid lev\" (your words) 5D IIs IQ. That is just fact. Canon themselfes said its IQ in ISO over 3.200 is better than 1D IIIs one. What do you think why they merged lines? \"Pros\" shot and shoot with 5D II instead of 1Ds MK III. Nikon had to offer a 3Ds to get into competition again against 5D II in high ISO and still was back about 75% in resolution. That is your \"pro\"? Compared to that Leica is \"pro\" because they offer P & S cameras at incredible prices and generations back features. If this is your \"pro\" I really do not care about. Nikon started to offer a \"prosumer\" D3 (D700) to get back into sales. Still at last generation resolution. You might say: \"Now they are top of the art!\" But here I am: 12 MP was not what served MY needs. 15-20 was great. 21 was enough. 24 not necesarry (for me). Why should I wish to have 36? Nikonian \"consumers\" NEED it really \"urgent\" instead of their \"crippled\" 6 year back 12 MP!
You can not shoot with 5D II in snow/rain? You ever tried? I did dozend of times. Never anything happened to it.
