The dinosaurs didn't die out, birds are very successful creatures. Larger format cameras won't die out either. MFT is a fine little format that balances compromises fairly well between compactness...

I've used GGS screens on several cameras. I might go for a Giottos later but seven bucks is cheap protection in the meantime. I have a plastic film overlay on my D800 now and it's better than the...

Relative to the photographer, the subjects probably weren't moving very fast or very far in that set of images so they don't say much. And nobody says you can't shoot action with the D800, it's...

The review addresses shooting at smaller apertures and shows diffraction effects. It also wisely suggests that depth of field needs may trump worries about diffraction, and that sharpening in post...

I'd want 24mm for my wide prime. Too bad the 1.4 version is so expensive. -- BJ Nicholls SLC, UT

The best flat field, low distortion lenses Nikon makes are Micro Nikkor primes. -- BJ Nicholls SLC, UT

1) My wrist works just fine for vertical framed shooting. 2) The D800 and lenses are already plenty big and heavy for me. 3) My pinky can find other things to do if it's bored. 4) The...

Can we ban types of headlines? No. Can you choose not to click on them (and thereby reward the tactic)? Most certainly. -- BJ Nicholls SLC, UT

It seems that you get your head turned by all the hot new cameras. Create a list of what's important to you. I have a D800 and a Panasonic G2. They do different things. What do you want to do that...

The zoom function isn't obvious. But the D300 image doesn't zoom to actual pixel resolution. The D800 image looks like it might, but that's impossible to tell from the view interface. Notice...

Your test samples show nothing anyone here can comment on. Show full resolution crops if you want some meaningful feedback. Perhaps you're failing to take into account that if you see similar...

I'm guessing that Nikon USA has been pulling battery stock from wherever they can to cover this recall. I'll bet that includes buying back inventory from retailers around the country. Without new...

The Nikon F mount has a greater depth from the mounting surface to the focal plane than Canon's mount (and the same is true compared to nearly every other mount) so there are no adapters that go...

Check out the Nikonians site. Niceness is enforced. It can be a little stifling to some discussions, but it's definitely a friendlier place to ask questions. -- BJ Nicholls SLC, UT

Consider one of the matched teleconverters if you want to be that far back. That will give you some ability to crop creatively. You can still crop these and adjust for your tendency to shoot...

Assuming you didn't work hard on getting these images from the raw files, I'd bet that you can pretty easily adjust the tonal rendition to make them look like you expect them to. One image is...

I lose track of the protocol for these things! -- BJ Nicholls SLC, UT

I don't recall even giving the Canon black tape issue a second thought. But it's abundantly clear that there are insecure Canonites who care way too much about what's going on in the other camp....
