By pure coincidence I decided to hop back into my old workplace as I just wanted to look at the full size D800 images on one of their screens. They have a fully calibrated NEC 30" PA301W in a...

Have a look at the preview Cliff Mautner did on the D800, some really convincing samples there that show 'face detection' can be a 'pro' feature.

Agree -partially- with Daniel.

While I have no complaints about the way dpreview does what it does, I agree that something like a 'progress bar' on upcoming reviews would certainly calm some...

Kev, what's the plane in PAF1? I thought I knew pretty much everything flying out there, but this /frankenplane/ has me baffled... Looks like someone took an F16 and added some randon F18, F5...

Thanks again for the samples, Ray! Well, I'm quite impressed by the raw files. There seems to be a hint of noise even at ISO100, but this is only really visible at 100% crop and with NR off. (I...

Thanks Robert, I already received samples that show me all I need to know, but thanks for the offer.

Thanks, that's very kind of you! Both would be very helful. e-mail on the way in a PM.

Yes, I did read all those, which helped me consider getting a D7000. Just looking for a D7000 12/14bit NEF to see if I can get the same out of it in lightroom as I'm used to getting from my old...

Yes, I read that excellent post and it was one of the reasons I'm actually considering the D7000. I'm really just looking for 14-bit NEF samples, to see if my Lightroom 'tricks' and setups give me...

Hello everyone. Pardon the intrusion into your wonderfully calm and sensible forum :) I'm used to 'hang' in the D3 forum. But now that I'm retired, I have no access to those cameras anymore....

Oh yes, the 24/1.4 is.... sexeh... Rented one for a few days and it is bang on top of my 'buy next' list, even before a D4.

Apologies fort the late reply, Just arrived in the People's Republic of Chagrin, and for some reason they seem to be 'actively' blocking dpreview.com... Takes 7-10 minutes to load any page, if...

1) Nikon D4 body (Have D3s now) 2) Nikkor AF-S 24-70/2.8G 3) Nikkor AF-S 70-200/2.8G VRII 4) Nikon SB-800 (Smaller, lighter than SB900/SB910. no thermal shutdown) 5) B+W 77mm Slim Circular...

Please indulge me in this fun (and, hopefully, educational!) little pasttime... Please ignore any grammar/spelling mistakes, I'm knee-deep in Cider right now :) Went to the pub tonight with a...

...so basically it is just doing something like 'screen captures' from the LV feed then? A 'capture' from a 921k dot screen could end up as roughly a 2mp image, right?

Thanks for the info, I'm looking forward to trying some portraits with 'old glass'

What I'm trying to say is basically, the last time a book on photography inspired me this much was when I read Joe McNally's "The Moment it Clicks". Again, a book that 'caters' to the opposite end...

Actually I mostly did/do 'boring' studio work, product shots, interiors. But the thing about this book is that it coaxes you out of your 'stagnant' way of looking at things and makes you reconsider...

My wife just gave me this book a few days ago as an early Christmas present.
I believe it i is a 'must read' for anyone who wants to improve their photography.

It took me several days to read...

First of all, complliments on the gorgeous pictures and the gorgeous wife :) After reading your post I feel like slapping myself on the forehead... I have a drawer full of weird/odd/wonderful...
