The Nikon Df body is still out of (cost) range for me. I'll get one or two eventually but I've segue'd into I.T. support for local businesses as an income gig.

Friends are still in the trade, but they're scrambling for their living. Every man and his dog has a camera (sorta) on them in the form of a cell 'phone. So pros have become "excess to requirement" in a lot of cases. Can't replace training and experience but it seems that is secondary to the plethora of images from cell 'phone cameras at events. And we need not get into the "Social Media" phenom.
