I've seen the words "bridge camera" used several times on this forum and have never heard of it anywhere else. A quick google search tells me it's a bridge between a P&S and a dSLR, but all the examples are simply entry level dSLR's that tend to be smaller in size than the more expensive...

I should have updated the group earlier but better late than never. The MieKe grip for the D800 works great and after ~2 weeks I've had no problems with it at all. It gives the camera a much larger and solid feel. The grip itself fits nicely on the D800 body and steadies the camera as a grip...

Great news! Bob's D800 has been returned from Nikon repair for the dreaded left focus issue. His latest blog completes the story Anatomy Of A Nikon D800 Repair

I'd like to say this is my ride but sadly, no.... D800; 24-70mm; ISO-100; F-2.8; 1/60 sec

I've been wanting to memorize stops since this is something all photographers should know inside out but if I don't have my cheat sheet right next to me, I get them confused. So I'm wondering how many people here have their stops memorized vs. using a cheat sheet?

I thought I'd start a thread specifically for insects in flight. It's a whole heck of a lot harder to get these little buggers (no pun intended) in flight than just sitting on a flower and so they deserve a little more respect for the level of difficulty a good image requires. D800; 105mm...

All original parts in original condition. It really doesn't get better than this...D800; 24-70mm; ISO-100; f-5.6

I've been watching the price of Compact Flash cards go up and up and up. About a month ago I ordered a 2-pack of Lexar 32G cards for $134 from Adorama but they were back ordered. I just received my notification that they've been ship and when I clicked on the link in the email I almost had a...

Thom Hogan changes D800 "Recommended" opinion to "Not Recommended" Although I love my D800, Thom makes a very salient point about how Nikon has thus far handled this situation and I can't disagree with his conclusions. From Thom's blog - Thom Hogan's Nikon Camera, DSLR, Lens, Flash, and Book...

I've been playing around with taking photos of the moon and the first thing that jumps out at you is that your light meter and suggested shutter speed is way off. If you use these settings your image will be completely blown out. Only by trial and error was I able to get the proper exposure and...

Very interesting video. I purchased the MieKe version and thou it arrived yesterday I've not yet had a chance to open it. I'll give you my feedback when I do. But until then, here's a side by side of a fake (knock-off) vs. Nikon. This Is The First Fake MB-D12 Battery Grip For The D800 |...

I often take shots in bursts of 2 and I've noticed that more often than not the second shot will have a bit of a sharper than the first shot. To you suppose this means I'm introducing camera shake when I press the shutter release? Or could it have something to do with the auto-focus? I'm...

Sorry, lens is no longer for sale.Mod's, can you please delete this thread?

So I've heard many times over that you should not use VR when your camera is set on a tripod and I suppose that also applies to a monopod, because it's counter-productive. In the past I've just taken this as fact because I didn't really understand how VR worked but now that I have a modicum of...
