Funny, I got really excited about it. I'm more than able to purchase the camera (even though I'll be risking the wrath of my ol' lady). I got excited about the button/knob layout because after years with the D90 and D7000 I'm want my button controls to quickly change settings. At the same time the 11 and 39 pt AFs have been lackluster enough with the lenses I own that I don't trust them to track kids well enough to my standards. I say that from trying to AF my friends under 3 yo kids. And yes, I know how to use the AF and I tried many combos (AF settings and lenses), but the kids always seem to best the AF at the most important moments. So, I was hoping the new cam to have the 51 pt AF. Since it doesn't, I'm either going to end up with the D7100, D800, or waiting to see what the V3 is going to be. DOF isn't a concern as the two main types of photography I participate in I need more not less DOF. ISO performance is neglible between them (D7100 & D800), IMO. I don't know. I still have time to think about it as the wife isn't even preggo yet... and I just bought a new motorcycle to occupy my time
I wouldn't mind renting one... Let's see when they are available.
Same here. If they actually improve the 39 pt AF to act like the 51 pt AF then I'll get one. Otherwise, no.
I'm not even sure a 102 point auto system can get the best of your average 3 year old. Have you tried duct tape? Lol
