I think he's referring to looking at a 100% crop, which is the equivalent of a massive print, as opposed to looking at the entire image at (as you indicated) effectively 2MP.

In answer to the question - No, any more than it will kill the desktop computer, the laptop computer, or the tablet. Garbage photos posted on "social media" sites have little to do with photography...

...and you'll have the same exact issue, since the D4 also uses the new style AF switch. He was talking about the changing of AF modes, etc. with the switch near the lens mount, not the change of...

No, I'm not kidding. I offer you a comparison of two photos of the same thing under the same controlled conditions, and your response is to point me to a camera shop U-Tube video?! LMAO. I'm not...

"Rivals full frame cameras like the D800?!" LOL you are a True Believer aren't you! Even at base ISO, the SD1M doesn't begin to approach the D800. Once you go higher than about ISO 200, it can't...

Amazing how many don't seem to be able to see this. It's as if they beleive you could see further away if you covered about 60% of the perimeter of the windshield of your car with duct tape. :D

I tried removing the 70-200 from my saved valyues last night. Put the 100-300 on an voila, it is now correctly recognized as a 100-300 f4! Then, I put the 70-200 on, and the camera recognizes it...

Cost of sensors = cheap. That's the sum total reason for the existence of APS-C dSLRs. If they could have made a FF dSLR sensor for similar cost, you would have never seen an APS-C dSLR to begin...

Nobody with legacy lenses has to buy APS-C equivalents. They can simply add a single wide angle to get the wide AOV that is lost with the "crop factor" and use the rest of their existing lenses....

Where you've gone wrong is believing that those are "equivalent" lenses. You need a stop (and then some, if you want to be technical) faster lens for APS-C format to be "equivalent" to the FF lens...

Sorry, but very small cameras will never be "optically comparable" to current dSLR camera systems, because sensor size-related disadvantages will always overrule technology because of the nature of...

Sigh. Well that's a PITA. Why with all that info available do they refer only to a piece of it?! :I

That seems to explain the reality of the "lens identifier" number, unfortunately. I just compared the D800 manual and D3 manual for AF Fine Tune. I guess the issue is that Sigma didn't have a...

Sigma 12-24 f4.5-5.6. Nothing wider, and the price is quite reasonable. Plus, no overlap with the 24-70, they complement each other nicely.

I'd never trade a D3 for a D700. No 100% viewfinder, single memory card, lesser on-body controls, and I'd have to add a grip to it, personally, which would make it bigger than the D3. If you insist...

Yes, but that doesn't explain why the lenses have recognition as two different lenses in EXIF data vs. being recognized as exactly the same (i.e., not even as two different samples of the exact...

I have a 70-200 f2.8 and a 100-300 f4 lens (Sigma lenses), both used on a D3 body. In EXIF data, each lens shows up as expected, i.e., the 70-200 f2.8 shows up as a 70-200f2.8, and the 100-300 f4...

Sadly, I think you hit that nail on the head. Nikon's software tends to be buggy too, and they don't exactly deal with those issues quickly - or tend to have a good record of continued support for...

The test measurements for sharpness of this lens on a D7000 vs. D4 (same pixel count) on DxO Mark conflict with what you're saying. In fact, even with a D3 sporting 4 million fewer pixels, the FX...

@sandlands native DNG has actually been available since the K10D, two generations before the K7, from Pentax.

However, Pentax is a rapidly fading non-factor in the camera business, so its impact...
