Okay so some of the gear is the wife's, we can be found on POTN under the names Calicajun and Missfire. Now if I could just find the time to take our new PF and camera gear out on a road trip.

After a brief (6,000+ photos) foray with the Olympus E-M5, I've sold it off. I also sold off all of my expensive high end Oly lenses and a number of Canon lenses I had. Basically, I sold every body and lens aside from my Canon bellows, micro lens and a nice telephoto prime.

The Nikon D600 has been in my hands now for about 3 weeks & I'm happy with it so far. Since it doesn't have the weather sealing I am used to, I opted for the 600 rather than the 800, which also doesn't offer true weather sealing & is larger and heavier to boot. Poor man's full frame, but it simply works. I might be picking up a Pentax body for the times I need the sealing, but still debating about that one. A few photos are on their way, as soon as I get a chance to edit and/or thin them down a bit.

mmmm d600. i'd love to move to that from my d7000, but then i'd have to either deal with vignettes or change out all my lenses....or keep em and carry both dx and fx lenses as i'd still keep the d7000 as backup :shock:

Sounds like a plan to me. Although, once you start shooting with the D600 and see the results, you may never want to touch your 7000 again. The IQ I have been getting is simply amazing, head and shoulders above anything I've owned or played around with.

well, i -rarely- touch my backup d80 as well, but it comes in handy when i need to do the 2 body setup when needing to bounce quickly between short and long lenses. same would go if i moved to the d600. but in looking i guess i could still get non vignette pics, i'd just have to sacrifice some pixels.

Yeah, I can't remember if it is 10 or 12mp in DX mode, but those would be fantastic pixels. Still need to pick up a couple more lenses myself, but I figure I can milk even more out the sensor with them.

Nikon P500. Not a SLR but a good jack of all trades type camera. Haven't used it all that much-got to start taking it out more!

Are you filming for fun, or is this a paid project?
