In reply to CasWebb:
I haven't exactly formulated how I will use the new camera, but probably will not abuse it quite so much. Nevertheless I will have it out in the hills/Munros etc and along the shore of Sandwood Bay or near to The Old Man of Stoer or similar, so wind and sand are possible(though I will try to avoid them).
The reason for all seasons in the title is that I would want to use the camera for landscape, mountaineering, climbing, bird shots, possibly motorbike races etc. So I want at least some versatility.
I want to try full frame(so I will be moving up a little on the previous cameras). You never know, I may have 2k of camera hanging off my harness in answer to your consideration,but certainly not in the same way that I have used the Nikons up to now.
The problem in part has been the way that Nikon deal with people when their camera is sent for mending. It is also about the fact that there seems to be a problem with all Nikon DSLRs with the connections between lens and body.
So I am trying to cut down on the time that I would need to spend normally, in order to find out about the different models that fit my parameters.
