    Chicago Sun Times Fires Staff Photographers

    Chicago Sun-Times lays off photo staff - chicagotribune.com Not a good time to be a photographer for that outfit. Does anyone see it happening elsewhere?

    Batteries

    I currently own six Nikon EN-EL3e batteries, for two cameras the use three at a time in current configurations. (D90 w/one battery and D700 w/two.) All of them test out to full battery life in both cameras. I rarely shoot over 400 images between chances to recharge, but it is always nice to...

    Nikkor Wides

    I'm looking at Nikkor 15mm and 18mm lenses for landscape and wide-field time lapse work. I'm looking for optimum optics and don't care about auto focus at this focal length. (Not to say I wouldn't buy auto-focus, I just don't see it as needed: I'll likely be setting hyperfocal focus and...

    D90 to D700: Is the upgrade worth it?

    I own a D90 and a mix of DX and FX glass. I really want to get an FX body and I'm really leaning toward a used D700. I plan to keep the D90 as a backup and also as a camera my children can use. I'll use it for sports photography, day and night under lights, and HDR and panoramic shots...

    Hi! from Florida, USA

    Hi! I'm new to the site, but have been a Nikon user since I purchased my first FM in 1978. Along the way, I've owned seven Nikons, five film and two digital. I'm currently shooting a D90, with aspirations of adding an FX body to my toolbox soon. (Either a D700 or D800 most likely.) I look...
