  • For a DSLR, I think the Nikon D 7100 is relatively small.  The D 3200 is even smaller. Unless you get a NEX 6 or 7, you will not have a viewfinder on it.  That may not be important to you though.
  • Nothing like waiting till the last minute to order something.  Do you also drive your car until your fuel guage reads empty?   What part of PLAN AHEAD don't you understand?    You probably weren't...
  • Replied in Agreed
    I wonder if Adobe recently hired some management from Netflix?
  • Replied in film scanners
    I was really impressed by the scan of the Viking boat so I thought I would post a few I did with a Nikon D80, an AIS micro 105mm lens, and a +4 Nikon close up lens.  I used a new LED light tablet...
  • I didn't mean to imply that that was alright. For example, look at the story of the American tourist who took a picture of a North Korean child begging in the street.  He was arrested and may be...
  • I think there is room for all kinds of interpretation of photography.  Whether you or I care for it is not important.  What is important is that photographers are not limited in what they photograph.
  • Thanks for the answers to the last two posters.  I read the changes of the update and it doesn't seem worth doing.  The camera works fine and I don't want to fix something that isn't broken.
  • I bought a used D 300s a few months ago and the firmware is 1.00 on A and B.   Would it benefit me to upgrade the firmware.  The instructions on the link seem very complicated.  Does anyone have a...
  • Images from these cameras can be cropped to give you a larger image of your subject.  The larger the sensor, the better the high ISO ability, and the more the image can be cropped.  There must be a...
  • I imagine part of it is having to deal with unions.  Especially for salaries and pensions. Unions destroyed the US steel industry and has hurt the US coal mining industry also, who have gone to...
  • If you go for the superzoom type cameras, you are looking at very small sensors, which typically do not have very good high ISO image quality.  That is why I suggested the new Fuji XF1 or even the...
  • I have my camera equipment insured by State Farm.  It is zero deductible and covers droppage and everything else.  It is a separate policy from my home owners and costs 1% per year of the total...
  • Samsung makes some very good cameras also, and their p&s has a Schneider Kreuzhach lens.
  • I just looked and 42nd St Camera (photo)? has the RX 100 for $ 589.95, but I don't know if that store has a good reputation or not..  Look them up on resellerratings.   You might be able to find a...
  • Fuji just came out with an XF1 that has a 2/3 sensor, but the zoom may not be enough for you.
  • I thought I saw the RX 100 on Amazon or B&H for $ 548 the other day.
  • Look at the new Fuji XF1 and the Nikon One series cameras.  A refurb J1 can be had from Cameta's with kit lens for a little over $ 200.  The new XF1 is around $ 400.
  • I have a Rollei 35S that has to have the shutter cocked in order to collapse the lens.  This camera is at least 40 years old.
  • I can take pictures of all those animals in my zoo!!
  • Run it through the gentle cycle of you washing machine, dry it, then throw it away and buy another for $5 or $10!
