  • I've only lost images on two cards, both Lexar.  Now, I only use Sandisk and have had no problems since.   The first time I lost images it was my fault.  I didn't understand the camera and...
  • If you're looking to save money, why not look at used or refurb's.  Some refurbs have 6 mo or even 1 year warranties, probably not from Canon though.  I bought a used Nikon D 300s from Keh, who...
  • If you mean humid as opposed to damp, I lived in Houston, very, very, very high humidity, for over 30 years and never had any problems with my Nikon SLRs.  You can buy the packets of silica gel to...
  • For what it would cost to buy a solar powered charger, you could buy a couple of extra batteries, charge them, and take them with you.
  • You may be right about the Zeiss Ikon not being made anymore, but I think the Voightlander Bessa's are still made.  Cheaper than the ZI, but not as well made.
  • Your link really shows how the framelines work at the different mag. viewfinders.  Hopefully, this  will be enough for the OP.
  • You said that the Nikon One cameras looked too complicated, but you should really buy a camera that you can learn on or grow into, not one that is too simple.  The Nikon One cameras have the same...
  • If you want an interchangeable lens compact camera, Cameta has the refurb Nikon One J1 with 10-30mm kit lens for $ 209.
  • Even though it's too late since you just bought a camera, Cameta sells refurb Nikon One J 1's for $ 209.  I'm not sure about what the video is.  That includes the 10-30mm kit lens.
  • All of the problems I have heard about recent Nikon Cameras is why I recently bought a used D 300s.  I took a picture of the sky at f/22 and under high magnification I only saw two small spots. ...
  • The remember me button  for sign in on mine is gone.
  • 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...
