Replied in "Dinasours"
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...

Replied in Seven bucks, I'll get the GGS for now
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...

Replied in Those aren't "extreme"...
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...

Replied in Examples in DPReview show that sharpening restores a lot...
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...

Replied in Not wide enough, but you'll get your exercise.
I'd want 24mm for my wide prime. Too bad the 1.4 version is so expensive.

Replied in A Micro Nikkor
The best flat field, low distortion lenses Nikon makes are Micro Nikkor primes.

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...

Replied in Mutant Oil Spill Fish Eats Angler Photographer!
Can we ban types of headlines? No. Can you choose not to click on them (and thereby reward the tactic)? Most certainly.

Replied in "Squirrel!"
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...

Replied in D800 - Not much better then my D300s, what am I doing wrong?I received my D800 bu
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.

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...

Replied in Got mine, D serial number series
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...

Replied in D800E first impressions
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...

Replied in One more tip...
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.

Replied in D700 soccer dad goes inside for Dance...WOW tough
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...

Replied in I'd think that only the bad focusing is fixable from the raw files.
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...

Commented on Nikon tells PDN it is looking for a fix for D800 and D4 lock-up bug news story
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....
