My 1.5 year old D810 power PCB just died rendering the camera useless. Its only been used with original Nikon batteries and never charged from an AC adapter. Wondering if anyone else has faced this problem before and would it be reasonable for something with no moving parts, such as a PCB to...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! Catchlights: Agree its important to protect several thousands of optical equipment properly. In this case they way I see it is that the Thirsty Hippo seems to be doing as good a job as the electronic module so I'm wondering if the repair is really worth it...

Hello! Wondering if I can ask your opinions on this matter: My Digi-Cabi AD160 (160L size dry cabinet) electronic dehumidifier unit stopped working a few days back. As I've been busy, I haven't had the time to send it in for repairs so I chucked a thirsty hippo into the BOTTOM of the cabinet...

Hello! I managed to snag a Tamron 150-600mm :) and I'm keen to shoot those small flying things that love to poo-poo on cars... Having just tried out this lens for the last few days, I realize a good tripod or monopod is useful because the focal length is so long. Can anyone recommend a good...

I went over to Nikon. Jonathan was busy but he got James to entertain me. Nice guy. He said their chief tech will look into it and today I got a call saying that they are doing a sensor replacement for me. Hopefully that will solve the issue :)

Hi folks! Just a quick update - due to work commitments I can't run over to NSC this week so I have to do that after CNY. Anyway I think it makes good sense since NSC is out of D700 loaners and my cam will still do perfectly well to capture those party shots of family members embarassing...

I think the lamp shots were done with viewfinder curtain closed. They're not long exposure but I've heard closing the viewfinder curtain sometimes helps so I tried. No joy. I also tested it over a 10s exposure, again no joy. Lines. Ah well..... I'll definitely be glad to hear what Jonathan has...

Wow! thanks a bunch, Chngpe01! Really appreciate it! I'll prob head over Monday when I have a break :) I first noticed this when starting astrophotography, which is of course the imaging of bright points of light (and rather dim objects) against a dark background but I've never had this...
