I'd wait a bit.. if it is discontinued there should be some good bargains around

I was so close to making the switch (again) & buying a D700 body the other day but ended up buying some L lenses instead.

It's so easy to get swept along with ever changing body specs and with 7D, 5DII & D700 all calling I decided to go with the glass.

have you bid yet?

I think I'd be content after getting a full frame. But then again, you never know

Em- I am still watching, I just worry about buying as lens and having no warranty etc, my limit would be $350,after that you'd might as well buy a new one with full warranty.



I have a plan that this year is the the year I get the lenses I really want, and a some Alien Bees. Almost finished with the lighting set up , just need to order a new backdrop. Work really hard on getting as much experience as possible, and building a strong portfolio.

Then, next year I go Full Frame, so I have two bodies,one cropped, one FF.I am in no hurry though, as Phil said earlier, at the moment it is more important for me to have decent glass, and I love my D300

Sounds like a good plan. The D300 is a cracking camera - I miss mine!

I have watched and bid on loads of second hand lenses, but they seem to hold their value so well that, as you say, you may as well buy new with warranty.
I'm only willing to take the risk if its at a bargain price.

Didn't get it, I forgot to bid and it went for under my $350 limit, so someone got a lurverly bargain.

oh poo
never mind if you had bid against them it probablly would have gone higher

I want more stuff! I have no money after the flood though Bleh!

(and I don't get the in joke, so feel left out! I'm an oldie... :*()
