Just got my D3

    Just got my D3 this lunchtime. Unfortunately I couldn't get it from Gunns (didn't come in with the delivery it was expected to :( ) so paid a little more for it in Berminghams (last one they had too). Took a couple of quick shots with it here at my desk in work. First shot obviously at ISO25600 to see what its like. Noise is present but its acceptable once its properly exposed. I am impressed with it so far. No doubt I'll be out alot over the next few days shooting to see what its made of.....more importantly my lenses now do what they say on the tin without the crop factor!

    I'll probably try and make it as well. I'll be the one with the mask, a cosh and a bag with swag written on it.:D

    Good luck with the new camera, sounds like it blew away all the reviewers so far.

    Well done Pete.

    Couldn't get to Belfast today to pick up mine so next Thursday is pencilled in for collection.

    This concept interests me greatly and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter...

    Are we talking 'on par' as in within a couple of hundred euros higher than HK or 'on par' as in within a thousand euros of the HK price? And did you get some kind of nudge nudge, wink wink deal from someone you know in the trade?

    Who's rates are those? I'm looking to buy a Canon 1D MkIII in the coming weeks, and if the prices (inc VAT) are as good as HK, then I'll spend here. Otherwise I'll be in touch with Albert again. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,699 ✭✭✭ThOnda


    Do they do even Pentax? ;)

    From HK, it works out around €2990 (give or take €10).

    I'll be ordering one in the coming weeks, so want to get the best price, never mind the best service.
