muikabochi 208 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 That seems a lot. I suppose if you order now you might get it in April! Looking forward to getting out in the next few months with the camera. She's been sleeping most of summer. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm sure the price will come down quite quickly. As for the camera, It sounds like its getting a new sensor, With the D800 sensor seemingly beating the D4 in everything but high ISO and the best dx one now in the lowest end model, there's a chance that the sensor they put in this camera will better than the "entry fx" tag would suggest. The D800 and D4 were both delayed by the Thai floods, so in terms of design, this new sensor should be much newer, maybe almost a full year. We'll just have to wait until the testing peoples gets to have a go and see what it can do. (looking forward to more photos by the way ) Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Will be interesting to see more on this D600. As I've got my own new one recently though I'm much less focused in now on getting info. It's funny there was a period back in spring when I was spending hours a day reading stuff, that seems to have been reduced to the occasional glance now. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I don't spend hours (thankfully!) but I should probably just get one and be done with it. But then again, I've got to get the best value for money :grandpa: Link to post Share on other sites
nagpants 1 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Think of it as time is money, or some other excuse to buy now. Link to post Share on other sites
miller 1 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Ken likes it (even though he has not used it) Full-Frame 24MP and works with all lenses since forever: $2,099. I can't believe Nikon actually announced the D600; it's a better, faster, lighter version of the old D800 and D800E for only 64% to 70% of the price! Except for testing lenses, I have no idea why I would keep my D800E anymore. Must be in stock good! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 Ah Ken. Yes, he likes his commissions on in-stock cameras! Link to post Share on other sites
kokodoko 67 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Muika you can buy my Canon 350D if you like. only a few minor problems. but going cheap. The settings viewpad has died and i have no rubber thing for the bit where you look through. But it still takes good photos. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Er, no thanks kokodoko, I'm all set up well and good. (See earlier in thread!) Link to post Share on other sites
kokodoko 67 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 ha ha just joking dood. I will need it. In burst mode it takes three photos. woohooo.. and max iso is 1600. its a challenge in rain forests. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Oh, OK. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 ha ha just joking dood. I will need it. In burst mode it takes three photos. woohooo.. and max iso is 1600. its a challenge in rain forests. That sounds like my D70. Except it can synch a flash at something ridiculous like 1/7000, something no modern camera can do, even the expensive ones! From what DxO mark say, it sounds like the D600 is going to be pretty damned good! They've given it a really high score. Better than the pro D4! It's too expensive for me, but if it's good it should send D700/D7000 prices tumbling further For my price range, the Fuji XE-1 sounds like it might be a goer too. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Yes I saw that looks like it should be a very nice camera. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Holy cow, I just realized Nikon's big deception: the D600, D800, D800E and D4 are all the same cameras designed and produced in parallel at the same time and all have the same insides, producing the same images with the same processing power, same LCDs, same green-shift problems and identical AF controls. They differ only in exterior packaging and when Nikon chose to announce them to make them appear different. It's just like 1980 again! Ken reckons they're all the same! Remember, whichever you choose, set to SMALL and JPG.... that's all anybody needs. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Trolling to get hits probably. The ironic one is that the current Nikon lineup at full frame is quite diversified. With the previous one, the D3 and D700 had the same sensor and the latter would do 8fps with a grip. They've not made that mistake again. You can get a s/h D700 for under 100,000 now which is a ton of camera for the money. No video though. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 That's all he ever does now I feel, and generally I don't go there anymore. Post something that will get a whole group of people outraged to get them posting with links back to the site. I suppose I have contributed to that in a way, though without the all important link.

muikabochi 208 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 And, I find his small jpg line pretty ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Took some pics with my friends 28-300mm lens today, will be interesting to see how they turn out. Such big files..... Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Here's some taken with that Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Impressions of the 28-300mm. Not used to the big extending end to the lens, though it's basically like a bigger version of the 18-200mm that I used to use most of the time. It took some nice photos, but I could quite clearly notice that they weren't generally as sharp as my other 'pro' lenses. There was just something missing. And I did really notice the vignetting (?) on the corners/sides especially with the blue sky photos - adjusted that out in Lightroom. But having used this for a few hours, even for the convenience factor I know that I don't want it. It's just not as good as the other lenses and a compromise. And if I don't need brill smashing pics, I'll take my phone or a compact camera. It was good to be able to test it out though. Link to post Share on other sites
miller 1 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Well seems to have taken some very nice photos there muika! I can see how when you have access to the sexier lenses though something not as good is a comedown. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 If the bell photo is at the long end, that looks very sharp. I've got a cheapo old 70-300 nikon film era kit lens and it's hopeless zoomed out. If it's that good as a tele lens, its not such a bad choice for folks who want photos of the kids at the undokai. It pains me to say it, but at 80,000, its probably not expensive for an fx lens. I guess it has to be quality all the way for the D800E though! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Actually I was up close for the bell shot. I did take a few shots are 300mmm and wasn't too happy with them. They were 'ok', but definitely not mad sharp. Funny I was just thinking yesterday looking at some of the photos that had lots of blue sky and the corners with the un-natural changing colour thing going on, and remembering how I used to actually like that "effect"! Or I thought I liked it. I suppose you just get used to things and it's difficult to go back. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Oh well, wrong again I'd better take a sneaky look at your particulars before my next verdict! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Hehe, no worries, I wasn't specific. None of those photos were zoomed. Not sure I want my particulars checked though! Link to post Share on other sites
