@photoJohnRicard Just did a quick search for specs on the rumored D800 see Nikonrumors . com Makes me question the need for the D3x with those suggested specs (36MP). I've been stuck in Iraq for a year deployment so I've got some research to do. I did alot of hikey background replacement out there for portraits of soldiers and more detail around the hair was needed for clean masks. So if D800 will be 36Mp Hmmm? John - Maybe you could do some D3 vs D3x comparisons and uses.
@mikesmultimedia Actually, one thing I like best with D3x files is that they are great fro retouching. The extra pixels makes it much easier to remove pimples or blemishes. If the D800 rumors are true, then that camera will be a really nice lower priced alternative to the D3x.
I like John Ricard's video because their live and realistic - not a lot of fluf.
But it is funny what the other commentors have said about how this should be a strap video - ha ha. Nonetheless, I waiting to shoot with my D3x for the right application such as large and wide shots like massive groups or other full spectrum imaging.
I'm actually going to be cleaning my D3s's sensor tonight, wish me luck - using visible light's kit.
Your a bit cynical, don't you think. Not all of us have the budgets to buy a D3x any day of the year. For the rest of us, all the stuff that comes with that camera is all we can afford after buying the equalvency of a car...
@channly Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not stupid. I can stand in front of a 72" Octabank without causing any problems. In fact, I explained the principle in a video titled, "Shooting With an Elinchrom Octabank". I can't link to the video in this comment section but if you search You Tube for, "Shooting With an Elinchrom Octabank John Ricard" you should be able to find the video.
@bimse111 Not a fan of the way the large strap crosses your chest. Its too noticeable for my tastes. Also, the fast access it provides to the camera just isn't necessary for me. On one of their videos they show a guy on a motorcycle using the strap -again, that just doesn't apply to my shooting style. I've got all day to reach for my camera...
I think people use the straps with the brand name on it because it's what comes with it. It's more pretentious to to have pretensions about straps. lol
@UprightBassAddict If you have some photographic ability, you should do what I have done -share the knowledge. I have uploaded more than 100 informative videos while you have uploaded none. Why not share your knowledge of photography with others? And when you do so, please have the balls to use your real name and not hide behind a fake name.
