Anyone who ev3n thought Nikon should scrap millions in research, development and setting up suppliers, production, prototypes etc. Is deluded.

The features of this camera were set a long time ago. Nikon will not rethink it. They will not make a camera for anyone's whim. The features are what is needed for a particular kind of photographer. ...

This highlights where I learned to keep BOTH eyes open. I started shooting motocross and nearly got hit. I was actually off the course a few steps, but a rider lost traction and came very close to ...

That works for sports too. It also can keep you from getting clobbered on a sideline during play.

Actually, I did have ONE guy offer to help if I needed it. If I win the lottery, he can expect a bunch of Nikon gear. It turned out one full battery charge was enough for the three games I shot ...

The charger for the D4S is $370 locally. I am NOT going to buy a no name Chinese charger and trust my batteries to it. I will send my charger to be repaired when I get home. Probably to APS in Chicago.

In fact, I do have two chargers. I still use a D3 as a backup and second body. I brought both The D4S charger and my original single charger for the D3. Since I drove here from Little Rock, I ...

Thanks! I should be okay, but I will keep your contact if I need it.

It worked! I have one battery charged and will charge the other later tonight after dinner. One should be enough for the weekend.

I have a spare charger for my D3 batteries.  I don't have a spare for my D4S batteries. It sells for $370 and I am not in a rush to spend that much. No, the D4S doesn't have a AA battery holder.

Just got back and IT WORKS! At least so far. I moved my chair next 5o it and I'm watching it. If I can get both batteries fully charged, I should be good for the weekend. Then I can charge them ...

I just slapped the charger against my hand and plugged a battery in. It worked for a few moments, then I pushed my luck and pressed the Calibration button and it all went crazy again. Gotta leave ...

My charger for my D4S batteries is acting crazy. Are there any Houston area photographers who would let me plug in a couple of batteries and charge to them for the weekend of shooting a baseball ...

Yes, calibration of a battery is much more tame than this. It just discharges the battery and recharges it. It doesn't do the crazy flashing thing. I will try to get a charger in Houston when I get ...

I gave had to calibrate batteries in the past and I don't remember this. I will try some more.

Here is the blinking https://youtu.be/MJJTWbNHsE8 Please ignore the TV audio in the background.

I did hold down the Calibration button. No change. I will try again.

I am having a problem with my charger or maybe my batteries? I plug in my charger to charge my battery for my D4S that is at 1/4 charge. The light for 50% blinks a few times, then it starts. The ...

Really? Really? I'm done with you. You just want to argue for the sake of argument. Bye, bye!
