Default a new camera at last

ok I got a d300 over a year ago to get into the photography and have propper got into it, the d300 got me going and eventually died a dusty death so I got me a d5 and the difference with the photos is very clear to see.
I tested it out at fat cats today and actually enjoyed the day very much wit the new toy.
Just like to say thanks to everyone who got me into it cos its great and everyone is very helpful on here from a newbies point of view.
Also tyvm to all the sx photographers whos brains i picked all the events.
Thank you all. Keep up the good work Colin cos your stuff inspires me to do better

lol My camera is dying from a dusty death after near 3 years of use , i clean it i stick a air line down it , seems to do the trick now and again now it on its last dying legs as can tell by pics at mo
Ive always been into photography since a teenager and was gonna study it , but never knew wot to study it in , cars and bikes and racing always been in my family it wasnt till my son got in to mx a few years ago , when i thought i give it a go , and mx seems to be my thing . I made sum great friends threw it and i ask and they give advice , but i got a empty head , lol and i do my own thing with it and learn myself really and i have my own style .
seem we on about life storys and how you got into photography
plus im bored

always nice to have an upgrade, gunna get a D700 soon as poss.
although the D5 looks a tasty bit of kit.
if im right in thinking it looks like the package comes with the new f0.0 lens.
didnt realise it was released with the D5 though.
heres a pic i found while doing some priceing up.....

Dave...after our discussion over beers the other night, you know nikon is the way forward .

D700 is class for MX, with the grip on you can blast out 9fps.
