Banding? Fine with me.

[Cultured Vulture]

That since you returned your D200 and happily kept your D70 that
you will return to the D70 forum? That way, they would get the
benefit of your vast knowledge and experience.

Vulture, maybe. Cultured, probably not so much.

I've never left the D70 forum. You wouldn't know a lot about where
people spend their time, having just recently popped in here in
December. I may either repurchase the D200 at some point in the
future ("ifs" listed in other posts), buy a D2x, or await an
iteration on one of the two. In the meantime, I'll do what you
do...go where I please. I've never made any pretension to "vast
expertise" (or ANY expertise) so your sarcasm (weak, by the way) is
wasted. Anyone smart enough to attempt sarcasm should be capable of
skipping posts they don't like, and dialogue with people they
disapprove of. Are you? We'll see.

My mistake Mike, Since only 4 of your last 200 or so posts have been in the D70 forum I drew the wrong conclusion. As for sarcasm, you took it wrong. I thought you were speaking from a position of superior knowledge. As to conduct. At least I don't get violent as you have stated you do.

You said:

Let me just say that I am a mild-mannered, logical, reasoning person. But I became so enraged at BB over a warranty problem that I chucked the small non-working TV in question over the counter onto their floor. Certainly got their attention. However, I was banned from this BB for life. That's what the manager told me as he followed me out the door and locked it behind me. Of course, BB has new managers every week, and 100% turnover in the rest of the staff every 90 days or so. Happened a couple of years ago. I've been back in there for DVDs once, and didn't get arrested.

Maybe you should have been, flying glass and all that. Maybe you can ignore this post. From your past history I doubt it.

Regards,

I thought not.

We all make mistakes. You're forgiven. Apparently you're not a great reader; I made it clear that I read and post where I want to on any given day, or in any given month. Since December, my interest has been in finding a successor to the D70. Ergo, my increased presence here.

Maybe you should have been, flying glass and all that.

Remedial reading class for you...you miss things, and invent others out of whole cloth. Flying glass? TV in box. Just a satisfying thud.

Maybe you
can ignore this post. From your past history I doubt it.

"Can" and "will" are different things. (See my first remark. If it's a fault, you have it.) Now that we know how we feel about one another, I'm done with you on this subject. Spew again (you will) and then click away to tell someone else what to do, or enrich some other thread.

I would prefer an image of the camera taken of itself in a mirror, with full exif. Thanks.

Emailing you now. Please confirm that you got it in this thread. I am a demanding user and I expect a high level from both my platforms, does that make me a troll?

It is a defect ...

First, my apologies to all for that terribly lame attempt to get
that irrational fanatic "Gary Woodard" tossed from the forum.
Don't know what I was thinking!

Now, banding...hmmm, what to do. Should we listen to the
emminently qualified thoughts of Thom Hogan and Julia Borg and Phil
Askey? Or to the ravings of the
AllD200shavebandingyoujustdon'tknowhowtoproduceit gang? Is this an
either/or proposition? Nope.

Here's what I think (not that you asked) let's call it a wash. Right?
-OK, all D200s have banding. Fine.
-Nikon are idiots for handling it poorly. Fine.
-Nikon will never be able to fix the problem. Fine.
-Shooting at ISO 800 and +4EV is perfectly normal and should never
show any aberrations. Fine.
-Everyone who has seen banding should take their camera back and
get a refund, (except for people like "Gary Woodard", in which case
hang on to it for as long as possible all the while complaining
about it!) Fine.
-The D200 is a crappy camera and Nikon should be squashed like the
little bugs they are! Fine.

Game over. The winners? All those who have consistently kept up
the complaints and did the world such a fantastic service by
refusing to let it go!

The losers? All those sorry D200 owners who are now forced to
continue making impeccable images, despite the "Gary Woodards" of
the world, despite not being able to produce banding to the
satisfaction of the
AllD200shavebandingyoujustdon'tknowhowtoproduceit gang, despite
understanding and appreciating the work and explanations of Hogan,
Borg, and Askey...all the while having to thoroughly enjoy their
camera. You poor bunch!

Will this stop the banding postings?

Will the sun come up in the west tomorrow?

How cool would that be?!
