    Seagate Class Action Lawsuit

    I've stopped using Seagate drives in favor of Western Digital a few years ago, but now it looks like there is a class action lawsuit for consistently faulty drives. Photographers Beware: Seagate Slapped with a Class Action Suit Over Bad Hard Drives Will be interesting to follow this one.

    Forget the D5, who's waiting for this???

    I think this is one Nikon accessory my wife would actually be onboard with me getting... Nikon has a patent for a smart watch that emits fragrance Wonder if they will allow other manufacturers to make fragrance refills. :)

    Im selling all my nikon flashes- I prefer chinese flashes over nikon.

    I've been very impressed with the Yongnuo flashes, consequently have more of those than I do Nikon units. On camera, and particularly outdoors, I do tend to prefer my Nikon flash more. I'm not sure if it's just an emotional thing, but on camera when using TTL, the Nikon unit seems to perform a...

    Nikon "Tanking"??

    Ouch ... Japan sales numbers show Canon dominating DSLRs, Olympus leading mirrorless and Nikon tanking across the board Doesn't really affect the images that we're able to create, just an interesting data point in reference to other manufacturers.

    Recommendations wanted for D800 and Atomis Ninja 2 rigging

    Howdy @scottenj and welcome to Nikonites! Thanks for the write up ... getting longer than 20 minutes on either my D5300 or D7100 has pushed me to looking at external setups a few times.

    Need another DSLR.

    @kevinp ... here's the lens that Paul was referring to (and I agree) NIKON D5500 DSLR Camera with AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140 mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Zoom Lens - Black Deals | PC World ... but it doesn't look like PCWorld sells it by itself and not part of a bundle. I have the 55-300mm lens you...

    What gear are you looking for in 2016

    I'm with Bill ... I'd either do the Nikon 105mm or the Tamron 90mm. I hear good things about the Sigma also, but would have to get the low down from @Pretzel on his purchase to be sure. :D

    Help me understand FX vs. DX

    Don has a D7100 and D750. Would be similar to testing against the D7200 but not exactly ... the D7200 should have slightly less noise than the D7100 as I understand. So to take a stab at this from a different angle, what would be the comparable shots to see? Again, I'm trying to be helpful, I...

    high end 3rd party flashes-so many to choose from

    Was that directed to @Powerstroke2000, or anyone who has the YN568? I've got three 568s and have been very happy with them. The only time I've really switched back to the SB910 was when doing event photography in 7 hour stints where I wanted/needed an external battery pack to assist with faster...

    Photography Website Recommendations: WordPress, Zenfolio, SmugMug, or...

    I've had a couple WordPress sites for awhile, as well as a personal SmugMug site for sharing travel photos. After doing a couple nights of event photography, I'd like to have a client proofing area where people can check images from the previous night's event, flag and pay for what they want to...
