  1. Nikon will have to develop video lenses which they can do. Not a problem. Does RED own any manufacturing facilities? And where are their factories located?
  2. I can't see how it doesn't allow you to set f/22. Auto Indexing is really no indexing.
  3. Back in the late 70's I considered the Rollei 35 and the Minox EL as a compact camera. Finally I setted on the Olympus XA.
  4. I think the battery is likely to swell when you charge it. I have laptop with swelled batteries and like wise you would charge the Iphone battery inside the phone.
  5. I much rather using Jurassic stuff than Chinese made stuff.
  6. Why do you think the display is not correct?
  7. In fact if the internal battery goes bad I would find shop that is willing to cut it out. I don't care for the cloc/calendar function.
  8. I don't worry about losing time. I worry about if the internal battery got depleted for a long time it may not take the charge any more so that when you put the EN-EL back in there it keeps draining it because it would constantly charge but not full. Unlike top end cameras like the D5 which has user replaceable battery for this, my Df will have to send it to Nikon and in the future Nikon may not even service it any more.
  9. I would keep a full charged battery in the camera. I too am afraid that the internal battery gets discharged for a long time and goes dead. Unlike some top of the line cameras, the internal battery in my camera is not user replaceable so it would be expensive to have Nikon do it and down the road Nikon wouldn't even do it.
  10. I am all for getting rid of the mechanical shutter but I don't really feel I would need the global shutter.
  11. I like the camera but it's not full frame. If it's full frame it would be a great camera with the film advance level (used only for shutter cocking). Even with the rewind knob. So cool.
  12. If you only run Adobe software then I think the Mac is best.
  13. The F4 has more display problem than the F3. I saw many F4's with bleeding display.
  14. I do meant compared to the FM3a but someone mentioned the F3 and still the F3 is simpler than the New F-1.
  15. My F3 is very old. LCD is fine. Metering and shutter speed are very accurate. The F3 was of a much simpler design partly because of the Nikon Lenses and because it doesn't support shutter priority mode. The F1 was very complex in order to support both aperture priority and shutter priority. Also due the the coupling of the FD lenses it's complex to provide meter manual mode. You can see the A-1 and AE-1 don't have meter manual mode. When you switch to manual you see the suggested aperture in the viewfinder but not the aperture you set. To provide both the suggested aperture and the aperture you set on the F1 is quite a complex design.
