Mike, I think my cameras would be a bit exposed to the crocs (sorry) on an SUP.. lol
Adam, I spent some time with Nick and Morsie up in Cods country a few years back, and the Waterstrider ) Incept) boats were perfect in the tight shit-fight rivers he likes.
I think either of the Outcasts would work as well.A couple trips I have in mind for my new boat are up in the north of NSW chasing bass and cod in the rivers.

Now, if they issue a 12K tablet, David, you will have my apologies in advance.
I’ll send you a 100 megabyte in your face Zach Matthews email from one…LOL

Medium format is always tempting, but IMHO the camera systems have a long way to go before you would take one fishing or game stalking in the woods.
The manufactures seem stuck on studio formats based on Blad designs from world war II…
Where’s the modern80mp Mamiya 6 or 7 that I could carry around tucked into my waders and happily shoot at 80 ISO or stick on a light tripod for remote landscapes ???
I would have one in a heartbeat !
(though it might be the last time my heart beat after the beating my wife would give me -lol)
That said, I also looked very closely at some test shots I did ten years ago (on a fishing trip) with a Hasselblad V system and a Phase One 25mp back and the shots have really stood the test of time.I can see the advantages in normal rez cameras for specific work when it comes to space and back-up and processing.
Like I said above, I shot a lot of work on 35mm out of pure laziness that would have looked much better on 120.FWIW, I’ve asked Nikon for a loaner DF and I’m going to put one through it’s paces on the water.

Can I make a quick case for more resolution for the same money ?
I’ve just been through all my digital fishing photos from 2004 – 2008 and I’m SO wishing I had the 800e back then.
Some of the high ISO stuff might as well have been done with a box of crayons…lol
I’m horrified I submitted some of it for print !!My point ?
What’s everything on the DF going to look like 10 years from now compared to the 800e and whatever cameras come after ?
Is that a stupid point ??
Probably, but it’s MUCH easier to take away resolution as opposed to adding it so it’s worth thinking about IMHO.Ok, everything is done on tiny phone screens now and nobody gives a rats ass about printed content, but what if everything goes to big 4K screens or 12K or a number we can’t even imagine now ?
Personally, I think the D4, like the Canon 1Dx is about newspaper photographers and agency guys who just need it fast, but will that cut the mustard when an ad agency is looking for a stock shot of a couple of frogs doing some horizontal folk dancing and it comes down to the DF shot or the 800E shot ?
You lose DF shooter, unless you’re sleeping with the editor..I say all this mostly tung and cheek, but it wasn’t so long ago in the film days that the above situation happened all the time.
It happened to me more than a few times when I chose to shoot 35mm instead of the more tedious 120 film.As a side note, I also agree that a camera like the new Olympus OMD thingy and a couple lens makes more sense if you don’t need the resolution because you’re saving a lot of bulk and money over FF alternatives.

Zach, IMHO the DF is a very expensive camera for what it is.
I think Nikon, like all the big players in cameras were desperate and threw it together.
I say that loving the look and idea of retro/modern camera design, but the DF is the same money as the D800 and wouldn’t get anywhere near it for image quality.On the plus side, it won’t tax a lens like something with more resolution and might pull chicks ???

Nice shots Brad – in particular the middle one.
Zach, the effect with a tilt lens is maybe a little more subtle than a post effect.
It’s certainly hit & miss shooting with one.www.dsaphoto.com

Here’s some samples from various Canon tilt lenses –

Thanks for that Zach – it’s very cool to follow the process.

Nice work Zach.
The effect is great for isolating subjects in a landscape.
The digital versions look very good and I bet are a far simpler (and cheeper!) process than shooting them from scratch.I sold all my tilts when I switched to Nikon from Canon and now I miss them.

Nice! What kind of dog is that? Drathaar?
No, that’s not a dog, it’s a publicity hog…:)
Nice shots Jay…

Wow, that’s clear water.
What’s the fishing like ?
I assume they see you coming for miles ??Boat looks good as well, though I can’t find them on the web – I just get ski boats.
