Hello from the UK. I own the Nikon D3 and the D7000 for making videos. Would it be worth buying the D800 as it does both? I have noticed on some forums that there has been autofocus issues. Have you had any issues with the D800. Thanks.

It’s crying out for me also but my credit cards are just plain crying 🙁
Keep up the great videos 🙂

It cried out for me. I couldn’t resist! I own a Canon point and shoot, and I’ve owned a Canon DSLR, and a few random point and shoots from various brands.

Snappy, I thought you were not interested in he D800.
Do you own any other brand cameras or just Nikon?

when you come to look at stranded zooms,have you had any thoughts on the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 VC USD… as its the only FX lens with image stabilising and seams to get good reports with sharpness

Amazon. Waited a couple of months.

It’s the “other lens” I mention toward the end of the video.
TheSnapChick
December 27, 2012 at 7:14 am
It’s on my list for consideration.

I’m not interested in zooms for the D800 yet.

why pay extra 400 US dollar more for a filter ?

As fun as a wide-angle lens is, it’s also hard to use. I wouldn’t go wider than 24 mm, and the 2.8 is as sharp as the zooms wide open. So save your money. But don’t be foolish and get the 28mm f2.8 – it’s just money down the drains compared to the 24.

Thanks for your question – please refer to 2:45 in the video – we have put a link to ND Grad filters for you. Cheers.

Apologies if this is dumb Q, but ‘ND grad filters’ is or are what ……. ?
CanonAustralia
December 27, 2012 at 10:32 am
Hi there - thanks for your feedback. A simple UV filter will suffice to stop sand and dust from affecting your lens. You might also want to think about ND grad filters – to help you soften out the harsh light from the sun. Good luck!

Excellent. Advice and content without being single Solution biased. Love any input regarding Filters. For a forthcoming Safari – Namibia in Oct/Nov. biggest Issue is sand and dust, but not wanting to compromise colour etc through wrong choices. Thanks

Hi there – have you heard of the Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM? We would recommend that lens for you at this stage. Let us know how you go.

I am a professional fishing guide here in central Florida and I would like to be able to get high quality shots of my clients catch along with being able to take outstanding pictures of the wildlife here on the refuge. Can you suggest a great overall lens? I have a Canon EOS XSi 450D.
Thank You.

I must say, thank you Canon for providing the equipment I need in order to make a living from my passion. Currently am saving up for a 500mm f4 as well as the 1dX. Thank you Chris McLennan for providing some awesome insight into the world of nature photography.
