I disagree. In the days when I used film on assignment (and when I worked in a lab) I used to dream of the sort of quality that can nowadays be obtained with digital, particularly in lower...

I've just bought one too. For all the negativity that you hear about this lens I like mine - it's certainly better (and quite a bit wider at anything less than infinity) than the 24-70.

You don't need anything wider than 24mm for group shots, even on DX.

More generalisations. People seem to think that the way they work is the only way to work. There are all kinds of different kinds of photography and ways to do it. (For the record i now use only...

Are you being serious or is this tongue-in-cheek? It just depends on what you shoot, where you shoot, and how you shoot it.  Like any other tool.

At over £8,000 for a pair plus the extra weight - not for me thanks!

Did that make you feel good?

That's certainly partly true, but the D600 full frame is much quieter as well, whereas the D800 isn't.

It's not just cheap Canons that are quieter. Cheap Nikons are much quieter than the D700 too.

Have you considered a Fuji X 1 Pro?

I use a pair of D700s with f/1.4 primes for all my weddings. Works beautifully. Only thing I'd really like is a quieter shutter and a second card for back up. Other than that it's a perfect wedding...

It's the same with most of Nikon's better lenses. They make them in batches.

You mean the feedback that says he takes the money and doesn't supply the goods? I'd sure selectively chose to read that and I definitely wouldn't buy a Nikon D4 from someone with only 77% positive...

Shutter Priority sets the aperture - you choose the shutter. Aperture Priority sets the shutter - you choose the aperture. ISO priority sets the err....what does it set?  Both aperture and shutter?...

They did it with the D3!

I wouldn't know anything about serious use. I just do it for a living.

I've used that sensor (in the X Pro 1) and it's truly excellent. I've seen far worse samples taken by people with DSLRs. If you can't get first class results with that sensor.........

So in real use they won't appear anything like as bad as this. (Not saying it's not a problem though.)

Try reading the whole paragraph. Of course they understand, but perhaps it wasn't clear enough for you.

Of course they understand. Where did they mention different exposures?
