Hi all there
I was wondering why on "top-of-the-line" cameras as those above, Nikon didn't put any AF-ASSIST light. Maybe you are supposed to always have with you your powerful flash? Or they think you will probably use only hyperlightful lenses as F1.4 or F2? Or what else? I still think that even the highest camera SHOULD have some kind of "emergency kit" made up of a built-in flash (why not a higher GN, as a 15-20?) and af-assist which can take you out of troubles without needing to travel fully loaded with flashes and lenses. Or they just assume you will always use these cameras in a studio where you can master and manage light?
Any thoughts appreciated. All the best.
P.s.: I forgot the most obvious answer: Haven't they any af-assist light since their af systems are THAT MUCH better than any other camera? Even D200 has both them (flash and focusing light) and I find them very useful..
