Two pieces of advice - always have a back up camera body, even if it's not the latest and greatest.  Register a free account with UPS, then whenever anyone ships anything to you at your address,...

I think you may be overly harsh in your assessment of Nikon.  The reviews of the camera after it was released, and the comments of new owners, were effusive.  This site gave the camera the gold...

I use one on my D7000 sometimes.

D600, 24-85 kit lens, 70-300 VR zoom.  All you need for about $3000.

Not sure why I'm replying to a post from 2008.  Maybe someone with one of the current lenses will read it.  I got the 24-85 VR as a kit lens with my D600.  Then I purchased another on eBay for...

Nikon should contribute $20 from the sale of each (likely premium priced) scope to malaria prevention in Africa. Malaria kills more children in Africa than any other disease, and over a million...

EVF uses less battery power than the full sized LCD on the back of the camera. The camera of the future will have no mirror or OVF, and no mechanical shutter. Getting rid of all those moving...

Another camera from Nikon that will appeal to a very small market segment. If you like this style of camera (I do not), wait a year until they are selling for half price. The optical viewfinder...

A decently written introduction, as usual you can't judge a camera on specs, you have to wait for a hands on full review with test shots. I don't see the need for the words "presumably...

Thank you very much for adding the specific comparison of the sensor with and without the OLPF. What I find perplexing is, when Nikon is making such obvious quality cutbacks in their cameras and...

I imagine that Nikon is unhappy about the whole situation already and would like to satisfy you.  They probably agree with you that they should fix it right the first time.  Otherwise they would...

I sent my D600 to Nikon Service Center Melville NY two weeks ago for sensor particles.  It was "In shop" for the first week and now it's on "Parts Hold".  I suppose they ran out of replacement...

I own the D7000 and the D600 and use them both a lot, so I am not a bullshitter or troll. My D600 is at Nikon Service in Melville NY "in shop" for over a week, which means they are waiting for...

You need to take a few thousand shots and then see how it is.  That's when mine became apparent.

With respect I would like to suggest the following: 1.  As a general rule any DX sensor camera should be kept at ISO 800 or lower if possible. 2.  As a general rule, landscapes should be shot with...

Make sure you have the latest firmware installed in your camera.   You can download it from Nikon's support site.  My V1 has firmware version 1.20.  That's not the latest but it does include the...

If you don't have a tremendous amount invested in 1 system lenses, I would just abandon that series of cameras and buy either the Olympus or the Sony, if you like them.  Or the Nikon P7700.  My...

You can make any digital image look noisy with post processing.  At ISO 100-200, the D7100 is essentially noise free.  Beginning at ISO 400 the small DX sensor of the D7100 begins to produce more...

A little, plastic, light duty SLR that's fractionally smaller than dozens of other choices? No, thanks. But they'll sell to people with a bunch of Canon lenses and to the uninformed masses who...

You could get an inexpensive 18-55mm VR kit zoom for probably around $100, which would give you a wide angle and a 1:3 macro also.
