walterh Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 A quote from another forum - No I will not say where and who posted it but you know I would never make this up. "So now that many of you have had a chance to put the D700 thru it's paces, what are some pressing updates that'srequired? I see the banding fix would be a major one for some but am curious what other things are. It may stillbe too early but I thought I would ask. I just received my D700 yesterday and have not had a chance to play with it yet in detail. Thanks." I have a hard time typing this - ROFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_bradtke Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Walter did you read the thread about banding that was linked to the one you quoted? To me the shot that they are all talking about looks way under exposed. I guess some people are never happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liljuddakalilknyttphotogra Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 LOL Haven't you guys learned. When it comes to DPR - people are not ever happy. They create problems just because. Trolls are running rampage with 0 control. I've been a poster on DPR for two years. I've learned there & have gotten to the point that I could share & teach on that basis there - with respect. About two weeks ago I got attacked over trying to explain how someone may have reasoned & why they reacted such. In no way have I done it myself - - this is over a photographer photographing someone else's child or children in a public place. I was only trying to reason from a mother's point of view - - personally I've not ever reacted in such a manner. But I got attacked in such a ruthless manner I have now not posted there since. I've had several request for me to come back from people I've helped before & who seem to like me. DPR is really an insane place. And there are some people there who just can't leave things alone - - all they want to do is find problems & issues. It never ends there.

ShunCheung Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 This seems to be a new problem on Nikon DSLRs, band-aiding, not just banding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph_wisniewski Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 John, there are two kinds of D70 banding... I can tell from the way your bands are peeling up a bit around the edges that you have the first kind of banding. This kind can almost always be fixed with a simple blower brush, such as a Giottos "Rocket Blower". Had those bands been more firmly adhered, you might have to loosen them first with a solvent such as Eclipse (be sure to use the E2 type on the D700) and a Pec*Pad wrapped on a small spatula.

dmanthree Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 If the D700 didn't have a banding problem, why did it need band-aiding? Maybe it's just me. Thank God my Canon 5D has been utter perfection for three years. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_hurley1 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Thanks God !!!! I thought i was seeing things now i understand what banding is. With Canon we don't see this so you Nikon people are blessed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
