In that case you have the experience of the D810, it may be worth hiring a D4s to try out first.

Sound's good. What body are you using at the moment by the way?

Thank you Merv, I mainly use my D4s for the fast jets and motorsport, however I have used it for general stuff with a little landscape and wildlife. I am happy with what it does there and all. Cheers.

Having said all that, it is worth having the lens serviced first, depending on the age and previous use of course.

I am using a D4s, it is super quick on the focus also if you take a long burst it will write to the card very quickly allowing you to release the shutter, recompose and resume with a long burst with no apparent slow down in frame rate. I shoot in 14bit RAW also. I took this with the D4s af-s 300...

A superb body, it was my first DSLR. I cannot believe they fetch the price that they do. I suppose pixel counts sell.

I thought I would get my Nikon D90 out of semi retirement and try it with a lens I bought for my son, a Nikkor AFS 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 VR. I must say I was very happy with the results. For kit that probably now would cost no more than around £350 second hand I thought I would share this for anyone...

I have seen some stunning images already but here is my effort, I hope you enjoy. by Andrew Morris, on Flickr Hopefully that has done Mike. Cheers

I must admit the other day I tried my D700 with grip and my 300 f2.8vr and it did fit in the Nikon CL-L1 bag, the only thing is there is not enough further adjustment to have a TC fitted also. I have used this setup since, and the padding of the Nikon bag is superb. Failing that I use a Lowepro...

In my limited recent digital experience, I have gone the way you are wanting to go. The only thing I have done first is to upgrade my glass, with the view to going full frame, this I have done over a few years to spread the cost. I have moved from a D90, which my son has now started using...

I used the monopod on a rally, no problem, but couldn't get on with the monopod and ball head at an airshow, I needed a lot more elevation. Hand held was ok for the jets but I struggled to get crisp shots of the prop aircraft. Perhaps I really need to concentrate on my tecnique.

Stills, Andrew, for motorsport and fast jets more than anything.:)

I'm sorry I misunderstood, it is a ball head I have tried and just didn't get on with it. I have also been looking at gimbal heads now I know exactly what I am looking for, the cost may be prohibitive at the moment though. I tried the fluid head this morning with the dog, but she was too hot to...

I already have a head along those lines borrowed from my father in law, and I am not getting on with it really. Thanks Ken.
