  • Commented on What The Duck #1390 news story

    Finally a comic strip for me!

    I noticed that the humor in Garfield had become less cutting edge over the years and was desperately looking for something I could print out and tape to my office...

  • So I took a bunch of photos of a variety of subjects (portrait, landscape) as well as focus patterns.   The lens is sharp at 1.4, but I need to dial in +13 on my D300, since it was front...
  • The Eos 7D has yet to have an update, too. D300s came out within months of the 7D... It could simply be that Nikon and Canon aren't seeing money in advancing a pro crop body line anymore. I do know...
  • I never got over how great CCD sensor photos look at low ISO.
  • The D7000 had a great sensor and pretty good high ISO performance. I had usable photos at 1600 and even 3200. The AF was terrible. The shutter barfed oil all over the sensor.  None of the D7k...
  • I have an original new release D300 and a used one I bought about a year ago as a backup. I bought a D7000 as a D300s replacement because I liked the sensor and ISO performance. The camera wouldn't...
  • I was told by an online retailer recently that they have the new "fixed' D600s, but they wouldn't tell me how they knew that. I have yet to buy one. I owned a D7k that had spatter issues and AF...
  • Created discussions Sigma 35mm 1.4 field test
    Bought one of these for my D300 and should have it in my hands by the weekend. What kind of field testing could I do to make sure I have a good sample so I can swap it out in the 30 day...
  • Created discussions who is selling the new d600s?
    I've been putting off buying an FX camera, either hoping that Nikon will fix the D600 (they claim they have) or the used D700 gets cheaper (it hasn't). Now, obviously people will tell me the...
  • Commented on Nikon D7100 Hands-on Preview preview

    I have been shooting with the same D300 since I got it as a wedding present half of a decade ago.

    The AF in that camera is flawless. You have to TRY to take out of focus photos.

    I received a D7k...

  • Commented on Nikon D7100 Hands-on Preview preview

    I have been shooting with the same D300 since I got it as a wedding present half of a decade ago. I liked it so much I bought a used one in "like new condition" as a backup.

    The AF in that camera...

  • Are they dumping stock of a camera with a bad sensor?After buying two D600 dust traps (one with the lens, and one without), I used the refund money to get a 6D.Is Nkon hoping to bolster sales of a...
  • While I agree with your statement, I don't know why Nikon wouldn't provide me with a new camera after the second time it came back with the same problems.

    They kept demanding I send them photos...

  • It's garishly ugly... but that isn't really an issue. It has a built in EVF, hot shoe, and probably wouldn't look comical with an F-mount lens attached to it--that and you could probably still...

  • I had a D7000. The AF was terrible, despite two trips to Nikon. The D600's AF may be tweaked, but I keep getting flashbacks to hundreds of soft/blurred/out of focus photos that led me to get rid of...

  • I want Sigma to build a cheap FF body with a Canon mount... or Nikon. I don't care, really. But it's about time we started to see third party bodies.

  • Created discussions D600 too expensive
    2100 entry to the FF is a lot, especially given their desire to use the D7k AF module and not the much better one from the D300s... or D700 for that matter. That and at best rumor prices of 1600...
  • Commented on {Text:Title} preview

    Too expensive. I think 2100 would be a good price point with the kit lens.

    Will have to wait until the prices go down.

  • I like Castle Laws just fine.If someone enters your home, they are committing a violent act.Everyone in America knows this, it isn't some kind of surprise that we would take lethal force to protect...
  • Well, NYC is a perfect example of what happens when only the criminals and cops have guns. I'm glad to put my life in the hands of such seasoned pros who have no real qualms about opening fire in a...
