Thanks guys. I took about 450-500 shots in total so not had time to go through them all ( should have shot in jpeg instead of raw lol ) but from a quick scan these look to be the best ones.

I have to say even though I cropped it this one is up in my favorites

And the one of JP bouncing off the inside curbs

They were taken with a Nikon D2x with a Sigma 300mm f2.8 lens. Some were with a 1.4x teleconvertor too. I've put a deposit down on a Nikon D3 so just waiting for them to ship and can't wait.

I always stand at seagrave as you get to see all three corners from there.

The D3 is the closest I've ever been to wanting to mate with a camera.

Up to 11fps, HDMI output, magnesium body, twin card slots and Giugiaro styling is actually slightly erotic.

I'm extremely jealous.

 

[Icecavern]

Well in all honesty the D2x is most of that anyway.

HDMI output - Not sure I know anyone that will ever use that, it's more a gimmick. The 11fps is only in crop mode, its 9fps in normal 12MP mode ( although fast enough for me )
Twin card slots will be needed as I'll have to shoot raw+jpg until Aperture can decode the new raw format.
But it's the better ISO performance I'm after, especially as I'm going into wedding photography too.

I'm number 8 on the list at the shop I've got my order in with, so I hope they get more than 8 on the first shipment ( fingers crossed )
