and out of all of them, the one i enjoy using the most is the little D5100 in the front.

To be honest it's too much.
My problem is if I spend £2.5k on a body, then in 3 or 4 years time, I can't seem to let myself part with it for a fraction of what I paid for it :grin:
Think I'm just Scrooge :grin:
I certainly only use the D3 for my main work, the D300 if I need the extra reach that DX gives you for the 300mm and 1.7 converter, and now the new D5100 for play

I always said I didn't need any more camera gear for my private business and hobby, but so far I've ended up with this:
DSLR's
Nikon D3
Nikon D2XS
Nikon D300
Nikon D200
Nikon D5100 ( new)
Compacts
Nikon P7000 (new)
Panasonic ZS3 (brilliant)
Lenses
Nikon 14-24 f2.8
Nikon 24-70 f2.8
Nikon 70-200 F2.8 VR II
Nikon 17-55 F2.8 DX
Nikon 10-24 DX
Nikon 24-120 F4 VR
Nikon 80-200 F2.8 (to be sold)
Nikon 300 F2.8
Nikon 50mm F1.4
Nikon 85mm F1.8
Nikon 105 F2.8 macro
Sigma 15-30 (surprisingly excellent)
4 off Nikon SB-800 speed lights
1 off Nikon SB-900 speed light
1 off Nikon SB-400 speed light
1 off SU800 wireless speed light master
Oh also have a Panasonic Lumix FZ50 and FZ28 which I can't seem to bear to part with.
I shudder to think how much it cost me, but I know their insurance value, and I have to sit down every time I see it.
To be fair, as I do weddings, portraits, social photography etc. a lot of the equipment has self financed though my own private business.
But as I said, it's a slippery slope......

Some of mines has paid for itself. Ive done shoots for Practical Performance Car and Ford motor Company.

I had completely discounted SIGMA until i saw this http://www.sigma-imaging-uk.com/lenses/telezoom/70-200mmOS.htm I went to an open day at the local Calumet and got talking to the Sigma rep. Told him i was in the market for the nikon 70 - 200 2.8 and had looked at theirs but discounted it on the grounds that it wasnt stabalised. Ahhh he said then you havent seen this! Promptly thrusting the above lens in to my hand. Brand new he said only out a month! So i went off and checked reviews on it which were pretty damn good!.
Its smaller and lighter than the Nikon and i got it for £800 from Onestop Digital. Nikon was £1675. The more i use it the more i like it!
