thursday 1 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 OK, 6.5 FPS, you need a lens quick enough to use it. shooting at 1/1000th is fine if you have enough light so your 6.5 FPS can be used. Low light, longer exposure, can't use 6.5fps. That's it simple. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Last week's announcements have me all excited and wanting to try those new cameras. Shame they have started to strand the DX lens owners. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I might have missed this... are the DX not working with the new gear? Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 DX working fine with the new gear even though the D3 is full format, you have a DX function as well. Bear this in mind, later, cheaper (<--- relative, well, less expensive anyway) cameras will not bother with giving you a DX option. Why have pay for an extra DX function if you don't need it?

thursday 1 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 In my opinion, the first FF DSLR from Nikon means they are shifting their attention back to FF. DX, having fewer sensors meant it was the only way to go for DSLRs to keep costs down, up to now. Henceforth, new models, D4? D400? Would not come with a DX mode alternative. I mean why have the DX functionality built-in when purchasers won’t need it. I don’t have any DX lenses and I could readily jump to a FF DSLR. So that means I will give the D300 a miss and that’ll give me another 3 years to play with my D200. Link to post Share on other sites
contender 0 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I think it will be many years before a consumer camera has a 24x36 sensor. Bear in mind that the cheapest camera with FF (eos 5D) still costs $2500. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 new toys for the boys. New lenses for you to play with your D3. Link to post Share on other sites
yoroshiku onegai shimasu 2 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 What do they specialise in? Got to say the front glass bit of expensive lenses is very sexy. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I guess the specialization would be being expense. 14-24 then 24-70 full frame. All you need after these would be a high powered tele. And any other special toys in the line up. Link to post Share on other sites

That's it simple. in low light you can use a flash Not too many flashes are able to handle 6.5 fps. you will have a weak flash or a too long recharging time unless you use, at least that is my experience.

Kumapix 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 obviously you don't use full power on the flash. I don't understand what the problem is with 6.5fps. The pro cameras have been shooting 8fps for years now. The new ones can shoot over 10fps! For a skiing or snowboarding during the day there's no problem Link to post Share on other sites
