    Nikon d700 values

    Having handled the D600/610 considerably and owning the D700, I just could not accept the lesser 'build to a budget' quality of the D600/610, the D700 is a pro quality DSLR, whereas the D600/610 looks and feels very plasticy. As regards image quality well that's another question, technology...

    Bargain Sigma 150-500 OS inc 86mm DG EX UV filter

    Many owners of the Sigma 150-500 have complained about the 'softness' of the lens above 400mm, personally I've managed some reasonably good shots at around 450 - but, I've had to use a tripod to achieve that. I'm not saying that in good steady hands the 150-500 is not capable of decent images...

    Is the D700 a Worthwhile Upgrade from a D300

    I've gone through exactly the same dilemma, had to decide on upgrading from my D300 either to the D600/D610 or the 'classic' D700.

    Bargain Sigma 150-500 OS inc 86mm DG EX UV filter

    Crafty bu**ers get you hooked then pop another £50 on the price :mad: But the £100 cashback from Sigma is excellent. Having said that I've got this lens and I've not been excactly impressed with it, far too soft at anything over 400mm, and I bought it for the 500mm reach!!!

    Part-exing at WEX Photographic

    You should also get a quote from Camera Jungle, used PX specialists in the Surrey area, they offered me a very decent quote on a Micro 4/3rds kit. Cannot say more because I still hav'nt decided to take their offer up :thinking: Google them and see.
