I couldn’t resist.  I fought it with every fibre of my being.  I have been debating buying a new camera for a while now and I already adore my Nikon D750 but as a live music photographer I really do need a second camera.  My Olympus e-520 has served me well for many years but it simply does not have the versatility required of gig photography.

When I bought the D750 just over a year ago I spent forever trying to choose between it and the D810.  The D750 is such a good camera that I very nearly bought a second one and it would have certainly served my needs admirably.

In the end I plumped for a new D810 because I am getting more into portrait photography and I am really keen to develop this aspect of my work.  The resolution of the D810 will open up new aspects in terms of photo-art as well.

As a result a D810 will shortly be winging its way to my front door courtesy of SLR Hut and DHL.

I can’t wait to put it through its paces.
