    D7000 users (Part 4)

    metal mounts can also break at "some point". I have seen a broken one personally. I believe more lenses are out there (all those kit lenses you see everywhere) are plastic rather than metal, or at least there are hundreds of thousands of such plastic mount lenses around and there have been very...

    UM Aero (Product Photography)

    gorgeous... I've heard that UM's quality has been inconsistent recently but seems like yours are of that highly acclaimed build quality.

    Yes this is yet another canon or nikon thread :P

    I've heard that Nikon CLS is superior to Canon's Speedlites, but looks like Canon is really catching up quickly or perhaps surpassing Nikon now

    D7000 users...fall in!!! Part 3

    What is there to advice :bsmilie: My advice is, if you don't know, don't upgrade. Be sure why you want the D7000 over the D3000 and then seek advice in specific aspects of comparison between the 2.

    Old/lousy hot-shoe replacement from Nikon Service Centre

    TS... I suggest you make an appointment with the service manager and have a good chat on this issue. You, I, and us, we can't change anything. This is Nikon's call. So since you're in with Nikon and have made the decision to stay, pursue the matter objectively and possibly work with Nikon to...

    New 6 Million Dollar Home by Crumpler

    The insides look much better but I really prefer the old design for the exterior. Crumpler did a great job on those prior to the 2012 refresh...

    New 6 Million Dollar Home by Crumpler

    Some pictures would be good... I have both the 5 mil and 6 mil and they are very different inside in contrast to how similar you described them to be..

    Will most of Nikon's lenses even make full use of the D800's 36MP capability?

    Makes me want the D700 now ;) I mean the price is... extremely reasonable.

    Will most of Nikon's lenses even make full use of the D800's 36MP capability?

    I doubt the old 85mm 1.4D and 50mm 1.4D will be 'disastrous' in comparison to DSLR image quality after stopping down to match its intended use. the D800 is more of a studio camera in place of medium format/digital backs. or maybe landscapes where stopping down is also crucial, but the 14-24 is...
