I purchased this model roughly 10 years after it hit the marked, and it's still among my best cameras. The only issue is the massive weigh. I could never afford the list price back then, but mine had a low shutter count when I got it, so it was worth the wait.
Oh yeah amazing camera. Can use for decades to come. All Magnesium alloy DSLR is a bit weighty, specially the square ones with integrated vertical grip like this. You do get used to it eventually. Good tip is to hold it with your arms and not the strap on neck, though do leave strap on so you don't drop. Have your forearm up with hand close to your shoulder and the camera leaning over your shoulder a bit. Makes it easier.
@lorikzzz You don´t know much about photo..? right? You would be amazed the pictures u´l get with a great lens and an great camera. And there´s 2 things in landscape photography that´s really important, Nr 1 is an gradual grey filter and nr 2 is an polarization's filter. Al that togheter is a killer combination !
Uhh no, he uses filters as you can see in the shot near sea. The graduated filter reduces the brightness of the sky so you don't have to expose for the land OR the sky, you can expose for both.
