Nikon D3 DSLR camera: First Look review
Posted by admin | Under Nikon D3 Cameras Saturday Nov 1, 2008For People who know a lot about cameras, please answer.?
Posted by admin | Under Nikon D3 Cameras Wednesday Sep 1, 2010So, I’m 14 years old, and right now I have a touch screen sony cyber shot camera. It focuses pretty well, not so much on moving objects even if they aren’t moving that fast, and I fell like the flash is too much and washes out a lot on some pictures. Photography is a hobby of mine, and I’m going to start taking classes at my school when I’m old enough (sophomore year I think). I want a new camera for christmas, and I was thinking about a Nikon D3 http://sotoi.com/id/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/nikon_d3_002.jpg but when I did some researching online I found that it could be as much as $5,000 at some places, and $2,000 at others. I still think that’s a lot of money for a camera, and I’d feel bad asking my parents for it (We are a little tight on money right now, but who isn’t).
My question is, What kind of camera could I get that would have most if not all the same features as the Nikon D3, but maybe for a cheaper price, and still good quality? And if you are a photographer, maybe you know a different kind of camera that would be good to use? Please, I want to get a good camera that can take pictures of an even better quality than the one I have. Some pictures I have taken with my Sony are:

I mostly do landscape and nature. What camera would be best for me? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The D3 is WAY WAY WAY over the top. I really like your shots by the way. If you are already doing that well with what you have, then I definitely do NOT recommend any point and shoot. NONE of them would be really any better than what you have. You have no control and cannot really learn photography with a point and shoot, but I think you realize that anyway.
I would suggest two cameras. Either the Nikon D40 or D60. The D40 DSLR can be had with the kit lens for under $500. It is 6 megapixel, which is really completely adequate. If, however, you feel you just have to have more pixels, the D60 has 10 megapixels for I think $600. (Not really worth the extra money in my opinion).
The D40 DSLR will be so far advanced over what you have that you will love it and what it will allow you to do. At your age and really just beginning, this would be a good camera and will not "hold you back". You can always move on to something like the D3 in later years, but by that time, even the D3 will be obsolete.
Of course, another alternative is film. If you are going to enroll in the photography course, then you may be required to use a 35mm SLR anyway. Film teaches you to compose and meter correctly as well as working within the limitations of the film’s ISO. With digital it is far too easy to fall into BAD habits that are counterproductive to good photography. So you might want to check with the instructor of the photography course first to see what they will require of you. It would be a bummer for your parents to spend the money on a DSLR if you will not be allowed to use it for class.

shutter count on D3/D300?
Posted by admin | Under Nikon D3 Cameras Thursday Aug 12, 2010Does anyone out there know how to get the shutter count (actuations) on a Nikon D3 and D300?
Can this info be found in the camera functions or in the exif data – if so where?
tks
Thanks Snapper – I had already downloaded opanda but didn’t realise that it would not work on edited files.
Fhotoace – your link gives a 404 error
You can use an exif viewer such as opanda.
This doesn’t work on .nef files and will only show the shutter count on jpegs directly out of the camera.
If you try it on jpegs which have been converted from raw files or edited and saved then this info is not there.

Nikon D700 Digital SLR Camera Review
The new D700 digital SLR camera featuring a 12.1-effective megapixel Nikon FX-format sensor that measures 23.9 x 36mm, which is nearly identical to the size of 35mm film. Benefiting from Nikon’s legacy of imaging technology innovation, the D700 offers both advanced and professional photographers stunning image quality, accurate color reproduction and revolutionary low light performance.
Building on the immense success of the Nikon D3 professional D-SLR camera, the D700 offers pro-level performance and an extensive array of features and innovations in a comfortably nimble platform. In addition to the Nikon-original FX-format CMOS sensor, the D700 incorporates Nikon’s EXPEED Image Processing System, Nikon’s renowned 51-point auto focus system with 3D Focus Tracking and two Live View shooting modes that allow photographers to frame a shot using the camera’s three-inch high-resolution LCD monitor. The D700 also features Nikon’s sophisticated Scene Recognition System and a new active dust reduction system.
Nikon’s flagship FX and DX-format cameras, the D3 and D300 respectively, established new benchmarks for digital image quality, speed, and unmatched ISO performance. The D700 maintains this new measure with exceptional overall image quality, broad tonal range and depth, and extremely low noise throughout its native ISO range of 200 to 6400.

Nikon D700 Digital SLR Highlights
The legendary Nikon FX-Format CMOS sensor The D700’s 12.1-megapixel FX-format CMOS image sensor provides exceptional image quality throughout its remarkable ISO sensitivity range. A large pixel size of 8.45 µm allows for an extremely low signal-to-noise ratio and a wide dynamic range. The 12-channel readout enables accelerated information transfer, allowing the D700 to shoot at speeds of up to eight frames per second at full resolution (using the optional MB-D10 Multi Power Battery Pack) and quickly write image data onto the CompactFlash card.
The D700 offers a versatile base ISO range from 200-6400 but can be expanded to range from ISO 100 (Lo-1) to 25,600 (Hi-2) affording photographers the new-found confidence to shoot in the widest variety of lighting conditions from the brightest midday sun to dim interiors. Images previously thought to be impossible to create without complex lighting set-ups or lengthy post-processing are now captured easily and faithfully with the D700, unleashing new and diverse shooting possibilities.
Also new to the D700 is Nikon’s first self-cleaning system designed for the FX-format sensor. Utilizing four distinct vibration frequencies, the D700 frees image degrading dust particles from the sensor’s optical low-pass filter at start-up, shut-down or on demand. As an added benefit, the mirror box and entire shutter mechanism are constructed of materials that resist creating debris that can affect image purity.
Fastest speed and autofocus in its class The D700 starts up in a mere 0.12 seconds and has a nearly imperceptible shutter-lag response time of 0.40 milliseconds, making this an extraordinarily responsive tool for the demanding photographer. The D700 can record full-resolution JPEG images at an astounding five frames per second (fps), or eight fps with the optional MB-D10 battery pack for up to 100 images, or up to 17 lossless 14-bit Nikon NEF (RAW) files. To write images efficiently, the Nikon D700 is also compliant with the next-generation of high-speed UDMA CompactFlash cards that will enable recording speeds up to 35 megabytes/second.
The D700 offers one of the fastest and most accurate advanced AF systems on the market today. Nikon’s Multi-CAM 3500FX autofocus sensor module features 51 AF points and the ability to use 3D tracking to focus and lock-on a moving subject. The 15 cross-type sensors and 36 horizontal sensors can be used individually or in groups, with the option for Single Area AF mode and Dynamic AF modes using groups of either 9, 21 or all 51 focus points. The system also features 3D Focus Tracking with automatic focus point switching that takes advantage of all 51 AF points as it uses scene color content and light information to accurately track the subject.
