so tempted to add this lens, even though I already have 105s, so have the old gaus 105 that is supposed to be one of the sharpest 105 ever, and then the 105 Macro which I love for its macro shots, but,, the D800 is making me assess every category of which lens would really make the grade, and...

A couple of thoughts come to mind, The first is the yield of a FX sensor to a DX sensor, the FX is twice the size in actual area, and it has more transistors, not quite the same density of the D7000, but yield across a silicon wafer is on a log curve when the chips get large, In the end, some...

what an enticing package, finnally a lightweight FX SLR, very reasonable price, and I am sure awesome image quality. most of the compromise are reasonable to the pro cameras, essentially a lower quality shutter for 150K, slower max shutter speed, slow flash sync,, less af points, less light...

I got to use the D800 as a wedding camera (not the primary photographer,, yuck), but as the filler shooter, and let me say that it shined! I first shot indoors at ISO 2000 no flash, and beautiful shots, low noise, super. I find the burst rate is plenty deep, can take a quick burst, and...

Continuation of the series.. I wonder about resolution and what it means for increasing density, So,, for example when sensor goes from 12 million to 36 million, how much resolution gain is there? so for example,, 12 million is 3K by 4K,, now if you doubled the resolution to say 6K by 8K...

I get a kick out reading the shootouts in the magazines, and always seems to be puzzling,, clearly they state the increased dynamic range and sharpness, but in all categories, they gave the win to the Canon, basically giving the D800 a 8/10. I suspect that one becomes splitting hairs, but I...

well, I was out on my boat taking some lake shots, and was using the 55-300 lens, and it does a pretty good job, Where it suffers is speed of focus, I wonder why they have to make the focus so so slow, I am surprised that this really saves them that much money building the lens, but compared to...

when you think of you equipment, they are tools and and investment. Having the right tool for the job can be key to the success of the adventure. On the otherhand, lots of the lens tend to overlap quite a bit, especially in the mid zoom range. but, I find that a slow and steady building is the...

well, I tried for a few months the reversal of the light meter of the D800,, and nope, I just cannot get used to it, So,, Menu -> custom Setting Bank -> F12 and you can in less then a second reverse to the classic mode,, ahhhh,,, so much more natural for me,, you turn the wheel to make the...

I have been switching around for the all around lens for the D800 for when I don't want to be burdened with mulitiple bags. I have run from 24-85, 35-70, 24-120, and lately the 28-105. The winner is the 28-105. I have the older D version, built well, and holds up well in the sharpness...

Kit camera of 3100 and 18-55 for 499! amazing price for a great entry camera. Just got an Amazon notification of the sale price today.

I was trying to help a new 5100 user that had just purchased the 80-200 2.8 D lens (the old bargain), that unfortunately the 5100 cannot autofocus, well, I said..Nikon has this nice focus assist in the viewfinder with the arrow and green circle, so I tried it out, but nope, they turned that off...

(Looks like you have to keep adding posts, versus adding comments) Equipment is improving each generation, so, when I started in digital about 10 years ago, I found myself applying sharpening on just about every photo using the unmask filter (such a strange name), and learned methods to avoid...

The dangers of straps. I look back and realize my most dangerous moments with potential damage swirl around camera straps. In Hawaii, I had one of those theif proof straps pull right out of the swivel as I was jumping up onto a rock, D7000 tumbled and the camera survived. Two days ago, the...

As a new member, I was wondering what the connection is between this site and NikonRumors, both sites seem to have a similar design and logo design. Any connection?

One of the first tasks a programmer starts to add to an application are Hot Keys, both a blessing and a curse. Don't mistake knowledge with the memorization of all the hot keys, but .... I am not the best at memorization, so,, I still use the menus quite a bit in PS. I noticed that more and...

Sometimes shopping local is better than the giant photo stores. I put my name on the list the same day as a friend on a well known photo store. I was 5th on the local list, and the store is fairly small. Well, 6 weeks from the offical launch date, I got my D800, my friend has been notified that...

Hey,, just noticed that the D7000 price is on sale at 1099,, which is the same price I got mine for (on sale), so hey, 100 dollars is 100 dollars. So for those thinking of buying... might be a good time.

well, this is a new experience. I suppose, I should remember periods, but sorry to those sticklers of English Majors. Tomorrow is Zoo day! I am going to bring my niece/nephews to one of those drive thru zoos. I prefer this type of zoo for the cage free animal shots. I'll be driving with the...

Funny, in the cover tease,, it states,, Full Frame Fight Club, which SLR is the Champ? and then do the full deep dive, and keep awarding the points to the D800, yes, the Mark III can shoot more frames per second, and then some credit for better layout for photographers, but I think that is...
