I bought some Lexar Professional Silver 256GB cards for my D780, but before I open them (so unable to return) I just wanted to check that it isn't a mistake. My understanding is that the D780 support UHS-ii, but that for a card to be fast enough for an "unlimited buffer" experience it would be...

Until recently, and just once, my D780 totally locked up. I couldn't even turn it off, the only solution was to pull the battery out and re-insert. Last month I was using the camera a lot on a trip and it happened a couple of time, so I googled it and found a post saying that if you put the...

I just bought a 105mm DC F/2 AF-D lens on ebay. On my nikon Df I have to max the AF fine tuning all the way to +20 to get it to focus properly whilst on my D780 it's about +15. Is this a fault of the lens? As it's a purely mechanical focusing system I don't see how the lens can have much to do...

I went for a walk in the woods yesterday (woods in Sophia Antipolis area). I cropped this one slightly just to centralise the bright circle, but I'm undecided whether a tighter crop is better, or not:- DSC_9142c by dieselnutjob, on Flickr I'm quite pleased with the accidental intrusion of two...

Sorry I don't. I've never been there.

A day out with a new (to me) Nikon Df:- DSC_8964 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr DSC_8973 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr DSC_8976 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr DSC_9010 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr DSC_9107 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr

Hi I have a DF in the post on it's way to me from Japan. Are there any particular SD card that I should buy, or avoid, for this camera? I guess given that it only has one, I want the most reliable one possible. thanks

I bought one. There was one on Facebook market place for £500, but, I have come to the conclusion (in my opinion) that it's probably a scam. The seller says that the camera is in London, but lives in Manchester and works for (I think) a Korean employer, and won't answer Facebook messages. I...

my daughter says it's more "old fashioned" looking, which is what she wants

that really is a lot of money isn't it? why are they so expensive?

Hi I recently sold my mint D750, and, because I could buy a new camera for business purposes, I bought a D780 and it basically hardly cost me more than what I got for the D750. I bought the D780 because I have quite a few AF-D lenses, and I like them, and the D780 squeezes as much as is...

I think that gtkam would probably work as well. The fundamental point seems to be that on a Linux system that ptp mode has to be used instead of mass storage mode. This won't work (as far as I know) "out of the box" because it doesn't just pop up as a drive, but instead needs software to be...

I installed a debian package called "rapid-photo-downloader" and that works. There are probably other ways to do it.
