It's not just you. Whatever people shoot with is their business but I am also tired of the endless whining about the D700. For heavens sake there have been at least a dozen cameras since that make ...

Original post was 5 months ago. Last OP post was 5 hours ago when he said he was going to send it out. I'm curious about what happened in the intervening time. That must be one through trouble ...

I set up mine different ways and used them in quite remarkable combinations. And appreciated the flexibility. But, notice I said OPTION. The option to save any or all settings would be a massive ...

The controls are easy to learn. It may take a bit but no big deal. Like driving a different car, does the same thing just a little differently. As for the shooting banks, I've been using them for ...

I'm not a fan of the 24/120 but YMMV. I'd go 24/70 f2.8 and 35 f1.4. I've been to Italy many times and find that I don't need to get everything in the picture. If I do need very wide I can always ...

Maybe I should start a separate thread or poll, but...Hey Mr. Nikon, I think most users of pro bodies would love to be able to lock their settings in the shooting banks. Am I wrong?

Amen. They make "plastic" guns for heavens sake. Some people D700 are hopelessly stuck in the past.

Well, yes and no. I'm sure like any corporation they are aware of their consumers opinions. They'd be fools not to be. I'm sure there are employees who read this and other sources and kick the ...

Yeah sure you did. Reported.

I agree. I wonder if Nikon has ever addressed this. I've never heard an explanation as to why the banks can't be locked. I muddled along with the banks but found the user settings much more useful ...

This is my prime directive. Yes it may be a PIA carrying 2.8 zooms for hours but a) it's not that bad and b) I never want to second guess a shot because of equipment. You only carry the kit for a ...

I've never said: "gee, I wish this lens was slower." You can always stop down but you can't stop up.

Good for you. Personally I have an E series that I just love. This is not, however, about perception. It's about physics. The resolving power of a 36MP sensor WILL show deficiencies of older lens ...

Talk to some lens designers. Do you think they design lenses based on......what exactly? That's right, sensors. Everybody knows that. As sensors improve so must lenses. They go hand in hand. There ...
