Which new full-frame would you choose?

I bought some graphic ready-to-use decorative frames on light green layout grids, thinking I could drop out the grid background on CS 4. However, it didn't work. I'd sure appreciate any suggestions from a Photoshop expert on how to get rid of the grid by using CS 4.

Its not about the camera.
Its about the glass.
The advice to buy whatever your friends have wasn't bad advice.
I wish I had thought of it. It gives you a group of people to share with, buy cast-offs from, sell cast-offs to etc etc.
But getting back to the question.
Decide what type of photography you want to take.
Then decide what best quality lenses you can afford to let you do that.
Then let the lenses choose the camera.
No point buying a Nikon camera if you are lusting after a particular Canon lens, and vice versa.
What do I have?
Nikon D40 & D90 & Canon 5D2.
I chose the D40 & the D90.
A lens chose the 5D2.

I have used a succession of Nikon cameras for many years and have always found them to be reliable and dependable. I now have a D90 with an 18-200mm 3.5 lens, as well as a 50mm 1.4 lens. The camera and lenses have served me well in many situations. I also have a 35mm 2.8 PC lens from my film cameras that I understand can be used on the D90. I'm eager to try it out.

Even though I'm a Canon devotee I second this advice, get it in your hands, Bob.

Be sure to post and include pics when you do. This sounds very interesting!

Its not the camera that takes the photos, but the person behind it. I guess the only way to choose your new FF camera would be to try all makes to determine which one suits you best. I use Sony so am a little biased on their range. Canon and Nikon are also excellent cameras and so your choice can only be based on your preference, difficult as that may become. Good luck

It is pointless and most of us do not have a great deal of knowledge about cameras we don't use. I could see this on an application for work to a photo store. Not here!

I have a Sony A55 (my preferred). I have a CanonXSi. I just gained a Nikon D3100. My experience with the D3100 is limited but it appears to me it takes photos with more pop than the Canon. I would , therefore, go with the D600. PLEASE: Canonians do not waste your time posting why I am wrong blah blah blah. It is no big deal --- they're all dandy units.

I recently bought a 5Diii. I have read many reviews of the D800 & 5diii. Most reviewers liked the 5D as well or better than the D800. I am sure that the Nikon is an excellent camera, but I couldn't be more pleased with the 5D. I don't know about the 3 cameras mentioned, but I would wait until they are out, read all the reviews & go to a store & try them out. That is what I did with the 5D & I am having a great time with my new camera. If you only have a kit lens, I would suggest looking for some new glass as a priority. Good-luck with your decision. Bab

I don't see this as very objective. Those who have used Canon for many years (like me) will say go to a Canon. Those who have used the other 2 brands will advocate for their use. You have to decide by making objective comparisons -- going to a camera shop and ask questions, what feels right for you and so on.
