    Leica during the war..saved Jewish Lives.

    I was sent this piece and thought I would pass it along. I had never heard of this happening but it is inspiring IMO. http://www.aish.com/ho/p/49082441.html

    D7200 or NX1 ? Need help with decision

    I have a D7100 and have not used the Nx1. Both the 7200 and NX are wonderful cameras it appears. IMO the Nikon will give you a far wider choice of good lenses but that only matters depending on what you shoot. The bottom line is this. If you can improve your skills to get the very most out of...

    Nikon 70-200 F2.8 or F4 or wait for.......

    I suggest you take any F4 lens into the environment you intend so shoot in. Set your speed to at least 800- 1000 for shooting sports and see where that takes you. You will find the F4 way to slow. The 2.8 is vastly better suited to the shooting you intend to do. But it is heavy. If you can...

    Nikon 18-140 VR ED versus 18-200 VR11 ED lens

    Have you tried the AF fine tuning with your 18-200? I suggest you give it a try. I did and it made a substantial improvement Regards David

    Will Nikon Speed light Flashes work?

    Sorry the 1 V3. I posted this question on the comments section of the announcement page of the 1 V3. Not being able to use the speed lights with these cameras is really ridiculous IMO. The Nikon flash system is one of the great strengths. If you can design it into the 7700 surely it isn't that...

    Will Nikon Speed light Flashes work?

    can you use the Nikon speed light flashes with this camera? I assume you need and adapter. Not sure which speed lights will work even then. Anyone know?

    GXR 28mm? P10? A16?

    I would defintetly start with the A16. The A12 in the near futre. I don't won the A12 but have a friend with one so I have got to "play" with it a lot. It will be my next purchase. (I have all the lensors but the A12). The A12 is just great to experiment and play with when you have the time(the...

    photo: GXR A16 zoom - another morning

    Yes I know I don't have to use all the settings, but I do like to experiment. I come from Nikon gear so the Ricoh has a rather different menu structure. I also got all the modules so I am also trying all of those at the same time. The one feature that has given em a lot of trouble is "snap...

    photo: GXR A16 zoom - another morning

    Very nice shot :). If I remember correctly you just got your GXR. I have had mine for about 2 months now. I am finding the learning curve to use all the menu features rather steep, but I am slogging my way thru it slow but sure. Quote: Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes Oscar Wilde

    My updated view on the latest Nikon statements and the N1 system

    Nikon has been a bungler when it comes to campact cameras especialy. For a company with so much experties and experience there is NO excuse for the sub standard compacts they have brought to market over the years. As well when they do produce a great product (Nikon A) it is over priced compared...

    My updated view on the latest Nikon statements and the N1 system

    News like this quote belwo from Sony and others is typical. Olympus has posted the same dismall results on this site. I would bet this endless upgrade madness is one area that is going to slow down. The camera biz is getting to be a war of attrition: The last one standing survives. The...
