    Nikon view 6.2.5

    in Nikon

    Posted

    From where can I download Nikon view 6.2.5?

     

    Do I have to have an older version of Nikon view? I have Nikon view

    6.2.1 which I got with my D100 about 3 years ago. Had to remove it

    from my hard disk in order to install Picture Project that came with

    my new D2X. I have no problem removing the stupid thing from my hard

    disk! (Never did I have such a peace of S*&%).

     

    My problem is that I am shooting NEF and want to convert it with PS

    7, could do it easily with my D100/Nikon view 6.2.1, but can not with

    D2X/Picture Project. From reading in this forum I understand that it

    could be done with Nikon View 6.2.5

     

    Thanks,

    Got my new D2X, great camera.

     

    Problem is - my PC is running very SLOW with this huge files (I'm

    shooting RAW), so I guess it's time to upgrade my PC.

     

    My question - what is the needed sep.?

     

     

    Thanks,

    24-85 G or 17-55/f2.8 DX?

    in Nikon

    Posted

    I currently have a D-100 with 3 lenses: 12-24 DX; 24-85 G & 70-200

    VR.

    I will be getting a D2X. I am shooting mostly landscape so my

    primarily concern is image quality.

     

    Now my question: should I replace the 24-85 G with a 17-55/f2.8 DX to

    get the highest image quality form the D2X; is there really a

    difference (other than price)?

    "Nikon had its new just-about-to-ship flagship camera, the D2X at the

    booth, and also were displaying numerous large (20"X24") and bigger

    prints. Frankly, they were stunning! This is the best image quality

    I've yet seen from a Nikon DSLR, and is superior to what I was

    expecting, given the high pixel count and small pixel size of this

    new 12.4MP chip from Sony.

     

    Sample images shown at Photokina were not very impressive, according

    to those that had a chance to view them. But the prints that I saw at

    the show today were knock-outs. The four months since announcement

    have been well used by both Nikon and Sony in lowering noise and

    improving colour fidelity. Nikon owners finally have a state-of-the-

    art high-res DSLR to shout about".

    D2X price and availability

    I must agree with Eric. For $5K I better switch to Canon 1Ds mark 2. Too bad I am so heavily invested in Nikon gear. The D2X is too little (MP and sensor size), too late (the 1Ds mark 2 is already available) and now even too expensive!

    Thanks Shun!

     

    I wonder - how come nobody (like Phil Askey, Steve's Digicams, Michael Reichmann - to name a few) runs test/review on the D2X?

    Don't these guys get pre-production cameras? (It could be asked about the Canon D1s Mark2 too, but there at least we could have seen some sample images, for what they worth)

    Hi,

     

    According to Nikon, the D2X will be available January 2005. Is it not

    strange that 7 weeks away and no pre-production camera for

    testing/reviews/sample images? And what about price?

     

    Any thoughts? Did I miss something?

    Nikon F100 rewinding the film leader into the film cassette

    in Nikon

    Posted

    Sassan,

     

    I ones had a Nikon N8008 (I shot digital now) and had the same problem with the rewinding. There are two ways to solve it:

    1. Go the Nikon and ask them to reprogram the camera so it will not retract the film leader all the way back into the film cassette. That's what I did, there used to be a big Nikon Showroom in NYC next to the Rockefeller center (I think they moved, don't know where to)

    2. Buy a small instrument that allows you to pull out the film without having to break the cassette.

    First of all � thanks everybody for your answers, you have been very helpful!

     

    I called San Jose camera and asked for their price for the 70-200 mm VR f/2.8 G lens. They told me that it�s $1,800 and it�s the lowest price in the bay area.

    Now here�s something I don�t quite understand � why should anybody who lives in that area buy from them, while he can get the same lens from B&H for $ 1,650 (USA) plus $ 21 for shipping (and he also saves the 8.25% sales tax!). Even for me it�s cheaper to order from B&H and pay for shipping it to Israel.

     

    By the way, they told me that they don�t have the 12-24 mm f/4 DX G lens in stock, and they don't expect to get it before January.

    Thanks for your help!

     

    Andy - I'm looking to buy two new Nikon lenses: the 12-24 DX and the 70-200 VR G

     

    Shun - have you any knowledge as to how much higher K&S' prices are compared to B&H? I couldn't find any prices in K&S' web site. I can stop at N.Y.C on my way back to Israel, but it's not convenient (also, I think the sales tax in CA is a little bit lower than in N.Y.)
