Anyone using CamRanger with a D800 or D800E and an iPad? How is it working for you? Are you using it for focus stacking? Do you use it in the field for landscapes? Do you use it in the studio? Limitations? Problems? Benefits?

Does anyone know of a method (Lightroom etc) that I can resample 36MP raw files to smaller raw files on import? Ideally the 36MP raw files never make it on to my computer, using the process it resamples the files on the fly and only saves the smaller raw files to disk.

Let me start out by saying that I am a novice photographer and new to DSLR video, not to photography in general. I've read dozens of posts and viewed dozens of videos on this subject, but like many of the conclusions I've read, I know that there is no one perfect camera for every situation, at least not under $3,500, although some may disagree with that statement.  I have a Nikon D200 with some DX lenses: Sigma 12-24mm 4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM Nikon AF-S 18-200mm VRII Nikon 50mm 1.8 Sigma 30mm 1.4D...

I just bought a Nikon 50mm f1.4. Shooting with it and my Nikon D800, I have noticed primary color banding on a few shots: green, blue and yellow. The green showed up in camera and I deleted it but the the blue and yellow don't show up in camera, only on the monitor. Both were shot at f/9 and ISO 800; one was at 1/500 and the other at 1/800. Any idea of what could be causing this? I've never had this problem before in the 27,000 plus photos I've shot with my D300 and now D800. I also borrowed...

I am a  novice with using a flash. My goal is to learn how to use my SB 910 with the Nikkor 70-200 mm f/2.8 VRII and the 1.4 TC for wildlife ie birding.  I will be using my D800 with this set up.vThe SB 910 will zoom to 200 mm but not beyond according to the LCD display, but I will  be using the zoom at a 280 mm focal length with the TC. Does the flash account for the attached TC or do I have to make adjustments each time I use the flash in TTL/BL mode? Could you advise me how to make the...

Hi, I just bought a D800 and I'm trying to figure out if there's a faster, or in my case maybe easier, way to change the AF area on a D800? One of the things I loved about my D300 was the AF area switch on the back that let me quickly change AF area's 'with the flip of a switch', and all by using only my right hand. Now, I seem to have to use both my left and right hand for changing this AF area (always have it set at AF-C and often have to change quickly from Single, to 9 or 21 points =>...

Yet another one of these threads, I'd like some opinions :) I'm planning on moving from DX to FF and am trying to figure out my lens strategy. I'm in absolutely no way a pro, and I never will be; I photograph whatever ends up in front of my kit, be it landscape, portrait (in the sense of facial pics of family), general travel photography, macro etc. I even occasionally try to photograph my nephews ice hockey attempts (indoor sport). So, my kit right now: D7000, Nikon 35 f1.8, Nikon 50 f1.8,...

Are there major differences between the two assuming the camera card slot is for SD/SDHC/SDXC? (aside from the form/size factor of course) SD form or MicroSD form for a camera fitted with an SD slot? I see that there are more options for micro-SDs in stores nowadays - usually fitted with SD-form adapters. Would the performance of the adapted micro-SD card be the same as an SD card assuming both are of the same class and speed rating? Any foreseeable risks involved in using adapted micro-SDs?

Hi everyone, Ok so here it goes (please bear with me ^_^). I have about 5000 euro's to spend on my next camera (for reference purposes the D4 costs 5000 Euro's here). I'm doubting which way to go. What would you do if you were a nature photographer (all subjects): Options (don't suggest any other camera's please :p):1. D800 + Nikon grip + 24-70mm (no D4 battery)2. Nikon D4Don't mind the prices of both.. plays no role here.I want to use it for the following (I'm a nature/wild life...

Hello all, I will visit these areas in June. I don't know when I will have a chance to visit them again since I'm coming from Europe. So I need some suggestions for taking good landscape shots. I will try to use the golden hours in every location. I will have my Full Frame camera, a tripod and some good lenses: 50mm 1.4 70-200mm 2.8 I moved recently to Full Frame so I'm looking for a wide angle lens. I'm actually evaluating the following lenses: Nikon 14 - 24 f2.8 (very limited availability,...
