One reason to ask about purchase versus supplied by manufacter is not about trusting the writer but the company.
The company may have for example tuned the cameras supplied to an organisation like...

It would make sense if you didn't need their servers to change settings.
But since you do they need to offer something better than a 20% discount on a new card which will be unsupported in the...

Me too my first one did not fit well in my D7000 and eventually split.
I replaced it at my own expense and the second one was just as bad, but as yet has not split.

The whole software server thing...

A bit of a late reply I know but I think the choice of 20MP is more about computing power and the ability to move and write data fast enough to get the desired frame rates. -- https://www.flickr.co ...

Google street view makes planning for things overseas or in distant states easier, less expensive and more convenient for tourists and businesses, so there is no so there is no reason to suggest it...

The security reasoning is not faulty.
Small or "lone wolf" terror groups don't necessarily have a lot of resources travelling to a place to do recon is expensive, so this overall lessens the ease...

My guess - and it's only a guess - would be you need to be in AF-S for Auto AF Fine Tune.

I'm not 100% convinced AF is better on a D750 than a D3s. The d750 Af has better specs in most areas  granted, e.g. Grp area mode, -3EV low end etc. Then again the D3s has more release modes (a1 ...

Depends on price I guess. My partner got a D3s for about $700AUD in the last half of last year. The rubber was missing off the card door. I'd say at that price, depending on what you want to shoot ...

Smaller cards may help as the camera scans the card at least once the first time you do an image review. It ay do it each time - I'd have to look it up to confirm. But the point is smaller cards ...

On reason not to is because I believe (maybe depending on model) you can use pocket wizards with studio strobes, off brand flash etc. I.e. despite other shortcomings and being a bit less convenient ...

Flickr does (or did) have video hosting.

All the basic shooting controls and some non basic ones can be controlled on most Nikon cameras from the D7x00 series up. Basically if you're in manual mode the command and sub command dials ...

No the D500 is an advanced amateur camera.
It has 2 different card slots.
So be happy with the amateur DX range....

I just hope there will be an FX version of the high end amateur D500.
Like the...

Um, the same data is used to create the JPEG used to preview the image on the camera's LCD as is used to view the image on a computer/screen or generate a second JPEG to compare with the camera ...

If your shooting long exposure landscapes I can't see how buffer is an issue. The buffer shouldn't impact the time it takes to save a single file/shot. The buffer normally really only effects the ...

Fair enough. My bad/misunderstanding. That practise of stripping features from lower models and disabling features in software thing is more than a little annoying to me too. Thing's like turning ...

Apologies to n057 - the person I am quoting is in fact Knightmelodic. My editing of the quoting in my reply post caused the quoting to make it look like n057 made the "I'm really starting to think ...

That's unfortunate. Hope you managed to eventually get it, but if you haven't and still want it I'd recommend dropping Thom an email. In my experience he's usually fairly responsive. I believe his ...

You welcome. Me too. I've been waiting for Thom's D750 book too and am glad he finally got it out. Also apparently Thom's also going to re-release his D3 and some other earlier model books ...
