Sold my D700......

[shepx13]

And bought an OMD. I got a gx1 a couple weeks ago and had so much fun i decided to go all in with m 4/3. Utilized the rebate to grab a 45 1.8 too.

Haven't had this much fun taking photos on a long time!

I have an OM-D ... but I won't be parting with my D700 just yet, if at all. It still has the wood on the Oly in several areas that I regard as important.

Which is not to say it isn't a great little camera.

I've just decided to sell some of my Nikon DSLR gear as well, but not all. It's definitely gotten used less in the last few years but is still my go-to kit for certain situations, such as motorsports.

very true!

I'm still going to keep my 70-200 and 28-75 for now, and will pick up a used d7000 or something similar used in a few months for kids sports. But since I don't really have time for anything other than personal photography anymore, it was time to lose the weight!

I did the same thing when the OM-D came out. I really don't miss the weight of the D700 and the prime lenses. Sure the D700 is in a different class, but the OM-D is just fine for my level of photography. Good luck with your OM-D.

Also sold my D700 and all but one of my F-mount lenses after giving the E-M5 a good workout. I wouldn't have done that if I was still photographing weddings, but these days it's travel, landscapes, and macro, for which the E-M5 and a couple of small primes is unbeatable.

I made the same move some time ago. Love the OM-D.

I still have mine... I am using September/October as my "test" bed. If I can go both months without reaching for the 5D II it and all my L glass will go up on Fred Miranda. Hope that happens... :smile:

I did the same this year, for me there is no question that the DSLR kit has had its day. I've had so much more fun and my recent images are the best I've taken

Still happy with the EM5 after a few years using it. Green Iguana

I moved to an Em1, and still loving it as well.

I sold my D700 too back in 2012 when the E-M5 came out. Haven't looked back since.

Its funny how the world has changed.I still value my D700 for certain situations but for my commercial work such as weddings and events a couple of OMD EM1 bodies and a handful of the fantastic prime lenses makes the job so easy and with amazing results.
