Jarvy,
I agree with EastMids. Don't go. Carry on the discussion.
EastMids
Am envious of you having the job you do; well, in some ways. The pressure of getting a good photo of an aircraft that looks "different" but still shows the information that you wish to get across is not necessarily for me. Do you have a favourite aircraft for taking photographs of?
I used to be a Canon fan - all the way back to the AE-1P and Canon T90. In fact I still have my T90. Unfortunately There came a time where Canon did not produce a robust enough camera for my needs (backwoods of Africa and such like) in the price bracket I could afford, so I moved to Nikon. Nice cameras and lenses. Big shame they are so bad on their repair times. Was going to get a D800 (I want one camera that does photos and video - for weight reasons) until I realised it was a full size sensor that would mean replacing all my lenses, yet again. Also the Moire problems put me off. Will wait until the next DSLR comes out that doesn't suffer.
