Last night a pal of mine rang (I have known him for over 40 years) and I could tell by his voice he was excited. Originally we both had nikon D200's then progressed to the D300 and for the last couple of years I have got the D800 so we have both been running on parallel tracks so to speak photographically wise.
Seems he has purchased a very little used Nikon d810 on ebay and was tell me all about how wonderful it is etc etc. So I mentioned some of the features of my D800 over the D300 and how much more you have to pay attention to taking a photo having got 3 times more mega pixel D300 . Also about using top quality glass to get the best out of it. I think most of what i said went in one ear and out the other as he was only going to use it in auto mode. I suppose he was on the phone for about an hour when I asked what he thought of it and then I had to really smile to myself when he said " I have not got it yet it is still in the Royal Mail postal system. I thought to myself wait until it is in your hands and start a new leaning curve.
