i realize that, but i think it's my brain going through the D5100 motions still. i used that camera for so long it's almost second nature, so going to the D7000 is a learning curve to re-figure out all of the settings i liked, etc. thanks for the offer though, i might ask you a few things when i can get out there and shoot more with it :tup:

Yes I will be willing to help you too..

6D + 24-105
vs
D610 or D600 + ???

Coke or Pepsi?

It's a toss up. Both have their advantages and really comes down to preference. Not saying the video is bad on the Nikon, but if you shoot video, I'd go with the Canon. They have better software for that. The Nikon has a somewhat "better" AF system, but that too is subjective. The D610/600 has a slightly better dynamic range over the 6D. The difference is going to be pretty slim and you'd really have to push both to it's limits to notice a difference in your shots. I'd go with the one you can get a better deal on and one that feels good in your hands.

I would take future lens upgrades into consideration as well.

I think we're all getting "photo-lazy".

How 'bout an impromptu Christmas photo challenge. Not really a competition, just a nudge to get everyone to shoot some good pics of the season.



Here's a couple of starters.



This isn't a hokey Instagram frame. It's as-shot. I was inside a small covered bridge shooting out. (while freezing my hoo-hoos off)

and you guys probably know by now that I loveeeeee crazy surreal looking pics with lots of color. This was the sunset in my back yard a few days ago, honestly I didn't have to do a WHOLE bunch of post processing to get it to look like this, the sky looked like it was on fire that evening.
