Having now shot two weddings and three pre-weddings with the D7000s, I cannot fault them apart from the limited RAW buffer (UHS 45mb/s cards help a lot). They're so much lighter. With my use of OCF, I just don't see the need to ever go back to D3s or D700. Plus I've somehow managed to destroy my...

Transcend Class 10 SDHCs are slow in the D7000s. The Sandisk Extreme 45mb/s clear the buffer significantly faster. Wasted so much money on a stack of 8GB Transcends. Bonfire anyone?

The D7000's is super snappy and accurate. Even more than my previous D700s. Now I don't miss my D3 as much :D The only problem I foresee is the buffer. I can surprisingly finish the 11 RAW buffer quite quickly if the situation demands it. Plus since I'm writing to both cards (backup), the...

D3 and D3s too expensive as a startup for any business owner. I don't have a spare 12K lying around, and if I did, it would be spent on other things. I sold my single D3 months ago in favour of 2 D700s. I used to rent a D3s on assignments. Now I have what I need to remain in business. There is...

I shoot weddings professionally and I'm always with two bodies (since I tend to shoot with primes). Downgrade is a harsh word. I actually think I've upgraded. The reasons I will make known in a blog post to come but it all came down to extra redundancy. My clients pay me a huge sum and having...

I've done the reverse, and yet I consider it an upgrade. Why? Because I get extra redundancy with dual slots. And redundancy to me, is more important that having the 'benefit's of having dual FX cameras (those benefits don't really apply in real world situations anymore). Some people will never...

I've just joined the club. In fact, I sold my two D700s today and bought two D7000s instead. Now to sell off those two useless 18-105VRs.

Due to too many factors, I have neglected updating this thread. Wedding season has well and truly started in earnest here in Sydney. Here are a few teasers from the past week. Enjoy! #38 #39 #40 #41 More of my work can be seen on my facebook page.

Very different to the weddings I've covered before. So much tradition and culture I was not aware of. Makes my job so much more interesting and rewarding. I love a group of people who are not ashamed of expressing themselves through dance - young and old. #33 #34 #35 #36...

Oooo it's been a while since I've last updated! Fresh from this morning at Avalon Beach, NSW, Australia.

I am a newcomer to the wedding industry, albeit, in Sydney, Australia. I started off my second shooting a few times for a wedding photographer I befriend whilst maintaining a full-time job. Then I did some further studied, scaled back on my job, and increased my interest in wedding photography...
