    D1

    Original D1 didn't allow a new shot in Single shot mode before buffer was cleared. In Continuous mode it will shoot a new one immediately. D1H fixed that and it can shoot a 40 raw burst. Writing time is about 1 second per image when using uncompressed raw, compressed is painfully slow. The...

    Not literally purchases, but I got a freebie Nikon D3200 and an AFS VR 55-300 yesterday. Just 11k clicks on the camera, both looking literally new. The camera will go to my 9 years old daughter who is delighted especially about the HD video. Her current camera is still-only D40. The D3200 body...

    Nikkor AFS 55-300 VR test (MANY IMAGES)

    Too Long, Don't Wanna Read version: 55-300 is optically an okay lens, maybe even good. The VR is excellent. Autofocus is unbearably slow - as in useless. The build quality is unacceptably flimsy. Full version: Yesterday my local pro gear shop had an event (tele lens tour) and they asked me...

    How can I jump through images on SD card?

    I take it you want to review and delete images while the card is in camera? Most cameras let you zoom out the image display to a thumbnail view, where you can scroll much faster. Some cameras also show the images grouped by date. One example below:
