Hardly getting over it.
Probably large pixel count jpegs or RAW.

Yes, something like that. A chap the other night said some actually have a list of cameras and if yours isn't on the list your submissions are rejected. I don't really know why I am interested in this because I don't take that many suitable images and I believe they don't pay very much but given the choice I would like to know if my camera were suitable.

From what I've heard, the "suitability" list boils down to SLRs that take RAW,and have APS-C or full-frame sensors.

All this talk about digital stuff! what I really want is a Sputnik that takes two 6x6cm images at once

ready
couldn't subject myself to spend £800-1000 for the Olympus 7-14mm f2.8 - bought the cheaper Lumix f4 option (used). can't wait to try it out tonight.
I want this:

Thanks!
If anyone's got a spare £900 knocking about (unlikely, but you never know!), Amazon have a lightning deal on that with the 1.4x teleconverter today.

I am coming around to the idea of a used Nikon D800, there is no doubt they are fine machines - my main worry is whether I will be able to cope with the massive filesizes?
eta: How easy is it to get pin sharp images with the D800? the D810 has a revised mirror mechanism to reduce the chance of mirror slap blurring images which seems to have been a slight issue on the D800.

You can get a nice low-mileage D700 for a bit over £500 if you look around.
They're still quite good and I'm not the only one who thinks so see e.g.
The Online Photographer: Our Favorite Cameras
I can print up to A3 with mine no problem, as long as I've been meticulous in shooting.
Unless you're doing serious landscape stuff or take pictures of food for a living or something I can't see much point in the D8xx cameras.
If I was going to get something else it'd be something smaller and lighter like one of the mft or Fuji cameras. I may very well switch to Fuji X when my D700 eventually dies.

Yes, there are many interesting used choices at the moment.
I am thinking broadly, a D700 could be nice, D3 are going at a nice price now, used D610 are looking interesting and then there is the D800 which looks a lot of camera for the money especially since the arrival of the D810 has depressed its used value a bit.
I definitely want FF, all my lenses are FX and I want to use them as they were designed. Luckily I don't have to make my mind up that quickly as at the moment I don't have the spare cash, but the options are looking very interesting.

I wants:
Sigma 50 - 100mm f/1.8 A series. To go with my 18-35 of the same series. Those two lenses would do 99% of what I need.

My Fujifilm S2 is still working and in fact working better than in recent times so my gear lust has abated quite a bit. It is almost that it realises it might be replaced and is therefore performing faultlessly to avoid being cut 
My interest still centres around a used FF Nikon dslr, either D700, D3X, D610 or D800 all of which seem to be available for between £600-900 depending on shutter count and condition.

Look out, he's got a gnu!
A really nice low F stop 24-70mm this would probably cover most of my shots
Or a replacement for my current lens like this
