lens cleaning fluid and cloths are not the correct stuff for this job -- purchase the correct products from the web. i use eclipse fluid and the companion pads, but others have their own...

i'm glad they aren't the community's stupidest eggheads.

unless you're shooting all times on a tripod, the first significant adjustment you'll have to make as you transition is to slow down. when i first got my D800, for the first few days i was...

i'm young (only 56), so i take 3 or 4 bodies -- in the trunk of the car! i used to do that dual-camera thing, but most of the time it just makes you look like an oddball, and unless you're shooting...

i love shooting gymnasts and you have done a very admirable job -- i'm jealous! thanks for sharing...

i fail to see what is journalistic at all about these KR posts. it's JAA spouting off in a public forum to an audience he has assiduously cultivated since seeing the potential in photo-centric...

of course you could, if you cleaned it another 10-15 times... but the question is, why? these "dust issue" is mostly a preoccupation of people whose primary interest is not photography. maybe it's...

i own both the lenses you mention, and they are not interchangeable. they are completely different beasts for totally different uses -- besides broadly being for use in photography. i can emphasize...

i been using seagate 2gb external USB 3.0 drives for my image archives. at about $100 each, i presently have 4 running on my win8 PC. it's not RAID or anything fancy-schmantzy, but if you copy from...

if you're going to all that trouble, why don't you smash the camera with a hammer and throw the pieces in the river? either way, by the time you're done it will be ruined.

36mp may sound outrageous if you aren't used to it, but after you've worked with those big, beautiful files for a while, i'm guessing you'd no longer see it as a burden, and more of a blessing....

i've seen 'em on my walks in hanover, but i don't know what they are. hopefully someone can help...

you don't have to register your product, just keep a copy of your POP. that's all they care about when you send it in for warranty service.

it may suck having to clean the sensor yourself, or have to pay nikon to do it, but you have to deal with things as they are, and no one suffers more than yourself if you continue shooting with a...

i thought i had once, while shooting with my SB900 in a butterfly exhibit. as it happens, when i went to put the flash away, i found the diffuser in the carry pouch -- which was an immense relief....

Too bad the zippers always break after about a year. I still buy 'em, though. They aren't as overpriced as most of the other brands (this is at my local, brick-and-mortar retailer).

i have read the whole thread, and i think i understand your situation. what makes sense for a big USA wedding may not apply in your country. you have to understand your own market and not worry...

nothing to be nervous about. the AF mechanism is an older, slower type, but it's far from incapable of following the types of birds you described earlier in the thread. you'd have to work a little...

i know for a fact that kingston SSD kits come with a housing to make the SSD work as an external USB storage device. USB 2 only, but what the hey -- still at SSD speeds! so if your MBA(?) has an...

i'm using CaptureNX 2.1.4 along with the latest lens distortion metrics file, L 1.009. this combination supports auto distortion for the 28/1.8 lens. what versions are you using?
