"It would be the 19th century for me. One of Napoleon's marshalls. A chance to march across Europe alongside the greatest general who ever lived and kill Belgians."

Maybe Tom Baker or some other time Lord given how this thread has time traveled lol

I guess it depends on just how much time you spend taking photos of things.... for me, I enjoyed my day off!

Not sure I'd be taking the camera at all really... I was at an airshow sorta thing at Headcorn at the weekend and just loving looking at the aircraft with both eyes open and listening and soaking it up.... rather than staring through a lens as usual... Go to the race, get some beers and some...

What's the difference between group af and focus with focus assist or dynamic area focus?

I'd doubt, I'm sure Gary was using the same top drawer stuff as me... I only have one set of lenses, used with a variety of nikon bodies. 70-200, 300 2.8, 500 4 etc

In the same way they claimed the d800 had the same af system as the d4. Only difference is that the d4 was well known for not coping with approaching subjects at speed, but the d4s has that licked apparently.

That doesn't surprise me one bit. The only thing I need to know is if the 810 is at least as good as the d300 or d700 for af... The d800 certainly wasn't

No, I meant an option in-between jpeg and raw, ie a middle position :D

Dx mode is OK ish, the problem I have with it on most fx bodies is that the viewfinder presentation of the dx area is not cleanly defined enough for anything other than nice slow careful shooting. A full black out of the outer area is really what you need, but never get.

Gives you an option between jpeg and raw? Which might be critical for those of us who shoot thousands of images... But like a lot of features, it's not for everyone

Better than the D3S at AF? If that's the case then all the arguments about it being only a minor tweak over the D800 are over... The D800 was far worse than the D300 at AF with moving subjects and the D3S was pretty much the master - absolute lightning. Only trouble of course with AF is that...

I thought that was when I pushed the shutter release :-P

Oh hang on, yes, tunnel.. Senior moment there!

Tunnel?
