    SD & CF cards for D800?

    So as the D800 is not really a speed demon at 4fps, and also has a pretty limited buffer I was concerned about those times when I did need to shoot some action and did not have my D3 with me. My logic was a fast card would have allowed the camera to have already downloaded the first 1-3 pictures...

    How do you carry your camera?

    8-16mm is available at B&H for $699...drool...quite nice.... On another note...out of sheer boredom one day I hooked up a RS-4 anchor to my Sony T900 and added it to my keychain...ironically this is not actually that bulky and fits nicely in my pocket....of course the screen and other parts of...

    D3000 + Grip

    So this is a generic grip off ebay...doubles your battery runtime and gives you that nice fullsize camera feel at a fraction of the price...what do you think?

    F3 viewer question

    Hi Blueiron - So what you see in the pic is how I got the camera...does the ring in the picture removeable? It is already damaged. What is the best way to remove it?

    How do you carry your camera?

    So this has always been a question... So if you carry your P&S then you can put it anywhere...but are limited on your zoom and overall capabilities in how you want to shoot the picture... The next step up for me in size would be my D3000 with fixed AF-S 35mm so both the camera and lens are not...

    fps question for the smart guys..

    When I have the camera (D300S) set on NEF 14-bit the camera will only shoot 2.5 fps....but when I go back to NEF 12-bit the camera will shoot at 7 fps...how much quality am I losing by shooting at 12-bit rather than 14-bit? What is the difference? Thanks

    What format do you save pictures in and why?

    So here is my thought...back in 1998 I was intruduced to my first digital camera a Olympus C2020Z 2.1mp. It was not a bad camera for its era. Then I moved to the Olympus E10 4.1mp in early 2001 which was fairly cutting edge for its time. It had the ability to save in a uncompressed TIFF file...
