Exactly when is the PMA?

I'm in the same dilema, I want to purchase a

D2hs for sports and action photography, but

I'm hesitant just in case something newer and

better(more megapixels) in introduced.

By the way I'm not really interested in the D2x

at this time.

Thanks!

A D2x would be nice but it would be more expensive in the long run,

the files are much bigger, I would have to upgrade my PC, get

high capacity CF cards, etc. Also the buffer on the D2hs allows

for more frames to be caputered.

A D200 is not a camera for sports or action, which is the whole

reason why I'm considering such a camera. I currently have a

D100, and seriously doubt that the Autofocusing CAM on the

D200 is comparable to a D2h or D2hs.

To D2h or D2hs is the question

I've recently been offered a brand new D2hs for $2,900.00

my question to the D2h and D2hs owners out there is the

following:

is the D2hs worth the extra $,1300.00

compared to a used D2h in very good condition for around

$1,600.00?

Are the few enhancements on the D2hs worth the

extra $$?

Thanks for you input!

That's what I needed to know,

I'm having the Circuit board replaced on my D100, my question

is the following: Am I going to have to update the camera with

the Firmware Version 2.0, or will it retain it from the factory

settings. When I bought my camera 2 years ago it came with Firmware

2.0 already installed.

Thanks!

Well, I just got through charging a brand new battery that

I bought from KEH, and my D100 is still not responding.

Last week when I bought a lense and tried it on my D100

the camera went dead, at first I thought that the battery

had gone out. But after putting in a new and fully charged

battery, I come to the conclusion that the problem is

something else. Has anyone in this forum ever experience this

problem, what could be the problem? I hope it's nothing serious.

There is a local shop here in Houston(between Richmond and Sheperd)

that repairs film cameras, but I'm not

sure how good they are in repairing Digital Cameras.

Your comments and suggestions are welcomed.

I recently purchased a bargain 55 F2.8 MICRO AIS SLR MANUAL FOCUS

STANDARD ANGLE LENS from KEH. Does anyone have any experience with

this

lense? How good and sharp should I expect it to be. The price on

it was too hard to resist, so I figured I give it a try. I know it

it will work on my D100, but not sure if it will work on my

N80.

Thanks in advanced for your comments!

Does anybody have any Idea on what the average

life cycle is on the Li-io Battery Pack for the D100?

I normaly used the camera on the weekends, I bought the

Camera along with the battery about 2 years ago.

Yestarday I was at a camera store purchasing a used

Nikkor 35-70 F2.8 D lense in Ex. condition for $115.00. well,

when I tried it on the D100, I noticed that the camera went

dead. I tried it on my N80 and seems to work okay, so I don't

think its the Lense. I ordered a new Battery last night from Keh

I hope that's all it was, but I'm curious to know what the life

cycle is on those batteries, any suggestions?

Thanks! in advanced!

Thanks, to everyone for their comments. I must say I'm still

a bit confused as to which camera I will end up buying.

I can say that I'm not interested in buying a digital camera

at this time. Currently I own a D100, N80, with a couple

of lenses(80-200mm AFD 2.8, 50mm 1.8, and a couple of Sigma lenses)

on the Digital side, I would like to get something with more

speed and more megapixels, but I cannot afford a D2x, so I will

just have to wait ont that. again, thanks for your

advice!

I'm in the market for a good used camera, EX to EX+ condition

my budget limit is $900.00 US Dollars.

The camera will be used mostly for Sports, and other action

Shots. Would I be better off buying an F100 for around $550.00+

or should I go ahead and spend a bit more for an F5 which goes for

around $900.00 or so. My main concern is Auto focusing speed,

is there a huge difference between these two cameras, and if so

is paying the extra$$ worth it. Are these

camera's metering system about same or are they quite different?

Thanks in advanced for your comments!

SUBJECT: Borderless printing

BODY: I recently recieved a Canon i9900 as a Christmas Present!

I'm very happy with the quality of the prints, there's just

one problem, when I try to do borderless printing, I never

seem to get it right. I do my cropping with P.S. 7 etc.

Played around with the printer settings etc. but never can

seem to get it just right. The Printer came with printing

software, which works great, but only allows you to print

in jpg format. I would like to print in Tiff, to get the

most out of my prints. Does any one know of some software

that will allow you to print borderless prints in Tiff and

and other formats?

Thanks!

I'm in the market for a new telephoto lense, I will use this lense

mostly for actions shots. I prefer to buy new versus a used lense,

espcially with all the rebates going around. I guess my main

question is, aside from the VR, and a few other things, will there

be much difference from the resulting images from both lenses.

If I get choice #1 I will be using a tripod for alot of the shots,

although I have enough money saved up for choice#2 I'm a little

weary about spending that much money on a single lense, is the extra

$700 worth it? Thanks in advanced for your input.

My cameras are the following Nikon D100 and N80

After doing my homework I've narrowed it down to the following two

lenses:

1) New Price:$895.95 with a $200.00 rebate from nikon

NIKON AUTO FOCUS - ZOOM LENSES

80-200 F2.8 D MACRO ED WITH TRIPOD MOUNT (77) 35MM SLR AUTO FOCUS

I plan to use this lense mostly for sports and action shots.

Raymond, that Nikkor 80-200/2.8 AFS sounds interesting.

Thanks!

October 25, 2004

Corrections that's a Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6

Danny

October 25, 2004

I'm interested in purchasing a telephoto zoom lense,

I'll be using it to shoot baseball games and some portrait work.

Just wanted your input on which lense/s(new or used) out there are an

option for me, based on my $700.00 budget.

I currently own a a Sigma 300mm f4-5.6 it gives me nice images, but

would like to improve on that.

I currently own cameras: Nikon D100, N80

Lenses: Nikkor 50mm f1.8, Sigma 300mm f4-5.6, Sigma 28-80 f4-5.6

thanks in advanced for your input!

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions, I think that I'm going to take Martin's advice and rent a couple of MF bodies from a local shop and see wich one I like. By the way, does anyone know of any shops in Houston that have MF cameras for rent?

Thanks again!

Danny

I will be using the camera mostly for on location Portraits, still shots. Most of what I plan to shoot will be outdoors and will be using available sun light. I'm fairly new to Medium format(but I'm very excited in getting into it), I currently use Nikon Digital SLR and 35mm, I have heard good things about Mamiya, Bronica and Hassablad.

Danny

I don't have a preference as far as the film size is concern, I did forget to mension that I don't want a range finder.

Thanks!

Danny

August 28, 2004

Just wanted your thoughts on which used Medium format camera

(including a lense mounted on it)to buy for under $700.

I want something that will give good(tones,sharpness etc.) quality

results when printed in large dimensions ie. 13'x19' 24'x36' etc.

Also I will be shooting slide film to scan and manipulate in PS7 in

post-processing.

Danny

What I ment was that the dimentions of the images coming out of my D100 are approximately 6" by 10", the target images that I want for print are 8" by 10" and above.

May 12, 2004

Is there a better way(besides cropping the image by preseting the

width, height and resolution) to get images the perfect size for

print in Photoshop 7. The images from my D100 are approximatly 6" by

10" I cropp them to the size that I need for printing, but this means

getting rid of some of the the detail that I would like to keep in

the picture, which I really don't like to do. I have also tried to

set the with or height with the constraint proportions checked in

photoshop's image size menu, but this won't give me the perfect print

size. Is there a setting on the D100 that will let me change the

image's output size from approximatly 6" by 10" to a much bigger size?

Thanks for any input that you may have!

Danny

I own a couple of Nikon cameras, a Nikon N80 and a D100.

I want a second film camera mostly to shoot BW and ocasionly

color. I have seen decent deals on KEH.com, is this a reputable place

to buy from?

Thanks again!

Danny

May 5, 2004

I'm interested in purchasing a used camera as a second camera body,

I will probably be using a 35mm lens on it.

I have seen some picture produced by the Minolta X-700 and they look

pretty good. I will be mainly shooting bw film with this camera,

and just wanted to know what you people think of the camera and the

quality of the picture it produces.

Thanks!

Danny

May 5, 2004

I wanted to know from those of you who have worked with both

Digital images of a D100(or any other DSLR) and the Digital images

from a high resolution scan of a 35mm slide. Which one is better as

far as quality, which one is better to use if the prints I want are

say from 13"x19" to 24"x36", thanks for yuour input.
