I don't agree. Sure, the CX format is too small to be taken seriously. But concept-wise I think Nikon is ahead. We're talking about the camera that will replace the dslr as the system camera of the...

This is what I also think is going to happen. Nikon will simply scale the Nikon 1 concept to DX-size. This would be a very compelling and thought out system compared the competition.

Thom's ranting seems to have aggravated after Photokina. I think what's bugging him is resentment from having no influence with Nikon. With regard to the DX rant, the reason why there are few DX...

Ah, nice picture! Now, with the D800h Nikon will have completely cornered the market..

Ever since the D800 came out there has been a lively discussion here and in other fora about whether the D800 was the true replacement for the D700 or if there was another one coming, the preferred...

So, it's not me then. Good to know.

Yes, this simulates the issue. Have I been fiddling with this button? ? This is the problem when you get a new camera - you sit at home fiddling with it all day :-)

Well, I had it a few times and with different lenses, so it's not the lens, and probably not the accidental bumping of the af/m switch. I guess I have to give it some time to find out if it's the...

I just bought a D800. Unfortunately, there is a problem with it: the autofocus sometimes won't engage. It happens once in a while that when i press the af-on button, there is no reaction from the...

According to the manual, face detection is used in auto-area mode (p. 94)

Yes, wikipedia's classification seems about right. The D800 is a compact pro camera. Relatively speaking, it is pocketable.

It seems to me that this scheme would be practicable only for shooters who do not take IQ (noise, DR et c) into consideration. Brightening here seems to be a free lunch. In your example you do not...

Thanks. I was translating from Swedish :)

If you are using Apple open a nef file in the previewer. Go to tools and select "show viewer". Klick on the Nikon tab and there you have it.

Meanwhile, I have changed my recommendation of Thom's Complete D800 guide from "recommended" to "not recommended". What is the point in buying a guide if you're not buying the camera? However, I am...

I tried the DK21-M eye piece with the D600 and it works. (the whole viewer is visible).

According to the DxO Mark scores, the D800 has a tonal range of less than 10 bits. How does this relate to the 14/12 bit choice? Does a choice of 14 or 12 bits affect the DxO Mark scores? Or does...

Interesting discussion. Is it correct to say that going from 14 bits to 12 will not affect the dynamic range - however, it might affect the tonal range?

Anyone has any idea how the DK 21M eye piece will work with the D600? Since this eyepiece is developed for DX will it be too small? Will one be able to comfortably see the whole frame?
