i wanna buy d3 but i have stocks of d200 lens, which wouls be sad to trash these
i have 80-400mm and 28-70mm nikkor lens
Why would you even think that? Who told you that none of you lenses will work with a new D3?
That is the whole reason people buy camera systems … so everything will work with every thing else. Nikon has the most used lenses available than any other — lenses since 1959.
My D3 uses lenses I have had since the early 1970’s and I still use my D200 as well as my nice new backup camera, the D300

I would like to be doing indoor and outdoor portraits, but I don’t know which lenses are the best for these types of portraits. I would also like to know what type(s) of lenses I should use for weddings as well. I don’t need anything fancy, just simple, just starting, types of lenses.
Weddings? With a full frame camera like the D3 you will find that for weddings a 24-70 mm f/2.8 and 70-200 mm f/2.8 will work the best. The portrait lens you will need is the 85 mm f/1/4 or 105 mm f/2.0

I’m not the most enlightened person on the subject of photography but I love it and I have progressively bought better and better cameras over the years. I want a professional grade camera but I’m not sure if I should go with an Olympus E3 or a NikonD3 or what.
I’m going to be minoring in photography so I will be needing/wanting a good camera but I’d like to know which one.
THANK YOU!!!
If you are going to be "minoring in photography" probably the E3 and definitely the D3 are WAY overkill. It would be like giving a beginning piano student Tchaikovsky sheet music.
Spend less for the body, and get good lenses if you have money to burn.
I want to fundraise money so i can purchase a reliable camera for fashion photography.
First i want to get a Nikon D90. which is $500, i want to use that camera and funraise about $5,000 (yes. Five thousand) dollars for the Nikon D3 camera.
Any ideas on how i can raise money to achieve the $5,000? its a ridiculous amount i know.
please and thanks.
Hey Seanie
Besides the job idea there may be a few other alternatives for you.
Offer photography sessions to familes and friends in the area. This will help raise money and create a portfolio for you.
We have victory cards which you can use. They are like scratch cards and raise money quickly. Enlist people to help you out and give them a cut of your take. Each card raises $115 so the money adds up fast.
Offer to do things in the meantime like babysitting, dog walking etc. Odd jobs add up in time.
Good luck with the Nikon cameras and fashion photography career.
(I love mine!)
A further time-lapse experiment, photographing the demonic presence in our living room… And testing Nikon D3 battery endurance. Being recorded over a long period of time makes for some bizarre results. It’s like high speed “Big Brother”, except interesting ;D.
Tech stuff: Nikon D3, 1/5″ shutter every 60 seconds until battery exhaustion. AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm 1:2.8G ED lens. 12 megapixel (4256 × 2832) fine jpeg images conformed into a 24 fps image sequence in QuickTime. 1080HD 24p postproduction with Final Cut Studio.

Let me know what stuff you wanna see about cameras and there accessories. I need you to let me know what you want. So what do you say? I wouldn’t turn it down!

This is a demo of a time lapse constructed from the built in intervalometer in the NikonD3.
You set the intervalometer to a number images and the frequency, then use Quicktime to turn the image sequence into a movie. A SB-800 flash was used in manual mode to even the lighting, and an exposure of 1/250 f11 at ISO 3,200 was used.
This sequence is 1,500 images over 4 hours, 10 minutes. That is one image every 10 seconds. The Quicktime import then used a frame rate of 15 images per second to reduce the 4 hour 10 minute time to 1 minute 41 seconds.
