Nikon D850; I want ;)

mjward

I hear you. When I had the 7D I bought two cheap lenses and that was for a while. Even went on a couple of photography courses. But I simply really enjoy taking photographs which I view very much like golf, all it takes is 2 good shots in 100 and it's enough to keep you coming back [emoji3]

Re the cost, I'm a man of few vices with a father who drilled into him at an early age "buy right, buy once" [emoji106]... Except as we all know with tech the 2017 version is "buy right and keep updating every 3 years" [emoji23][emoji23]

Will take a look at those lenses you recommend snerkler. Are there companies that hire out? Just thinking for the outlay would be great to rent 10 over a week then make a decision

snerkler

Ahh right, sorry didn't realise you'd have a DSLR before, just you said you were a Newbie and had an RX100

But yes, I learnt the hard way. Bought more budget to be sensible and lost money when I sold to buy what I should have done in the first place

snerkler

Have you seen how much lenses are to hire for a week? You'll be talking £100  for most

mjward

Aye carumba. Will rely on research and this forum then! [emoji106]

Seen some odd quotes on the D850 pricing... Usd3300 and £3500....surely if USD correct then UK price should be around £2600

You’re forgetting VAT.  That accounts for an additional 20%. But yes Nikon are charging more for it in Europe than they are in USA.

I'll wait for those grey imports for £2000

snerkler

Welcome to rip off Britain. You could actually order it from the states, pay all relevant taxes and imports and it'll still be a few hundred quid cheaper. Quite ridiculous really.

1080 jawbreaker

im still sat on the fence, but my arse is knacking. waiting for the Canon swiss army knife.    something like a 5dsr mk2 with 4k video and 50mp(ish) stills.

Sorry Damien, but I'm not intending to sell my D810 just yet.
