I have had my D100 for over a year now and have taken a ton of photographs with it, I love it. I am thinking about a second body and I have been told if the most important issue you have is image quality(not speed, durability,viewfinder) the D70 is the camera-it is the newest technology. I do love the verticle grip on the D100.

this conversation is very good, although it did not make up my mind.

A second D100 would not be the worst thing in the world, although I am telling my self to move up a camera-if I can get a used D1X for the price of a new D100. Canon's top DSLR I think is 8mp, what is Nikon doing?

I use a mac laptop computer with a firewire cardreader. Its quik, you don't use the camera battery power, and it stores 30gigs

I bought a D100 with the thought of waiting for the D2X to come out,

buying that and having the D100 as backup. But who knows when the new

Nikon will come and I need the backup camera, so I am considering

buying a used D1X. What should I

watch for in buying a used D1X with not a lot of heavy use-or so I am

told.

With speed not being neccasary, would you consider the D1X a better

camera than the D2H. It does scare me that the D1X technology is a

little old, should it?

thanks

I photograph a lot of people on location, mostly corporate, mostly digital. I just got a job photographing 500 portraits for a health system-I don't feel right going into it with one body. The D100 has been a fine camera-the one thing I miss is the fire wire capability.It would be nice to down load photos directly to my computer, I currently shoot digital polaroids(I down low res photos for the art director to view, then I disconnect dial to a higher res and shoot to the flash card). For film I shot with F100's.-which I love and have not used in the last year. I also have a backup N90s which I am selling.

I currently own a D100 and looking to buy another DSLR camera. I

would use my D100 as a backup and the new camera as my main body. I

thought about the Kodak(heard bad reviews),the Fuji S3(do not like the

feel and handling of the S2 at all), the Nikon D2H(does it matter it

is a lower megapixel) the Nikon D1x( lower megapixel, although I do

like the feel of this camera).

Also, is it trouble buying one of these cameras used????

thanks

I quote on the job, (with 80.00per hour in mind) so if I think it is a 2 hour job I will quote 160.00.

dido on the Lexar fire wire reader, 13 minutes to transfer a USB 1.0 and just 3 1/2 minutes on the fire wire reader.

Taku, Both lenses are great, and I am selling both of these lenses-they are the AF lens, not a D lens. If you are interested you can e-mail me at david@debalkophoto.com

Does any one know of a workshop for professional photographers which

goes over the finer points of shooting raw, tranfering, manipulating.

(photoshop). I live in the Philadelphia area.

I thought they shared the same sensor too, but somebody else told me they did not. We shot the same outdoor object with the same lens, and the same settings-The S2's color was slightly warmer.

I am very happy with my D100, I have had several photos on Transit Bus shelters(blown up to about 3x5feet) and I recently had 2 photos on a billboard(headshots of doctors measuring about 12 by 8 feet). They are viewed from a distance but they look just as good as billboards I shot with 2 1/4.

A Friend(owns a fuji S2) and I recently ran a bunch of tests comparing the S2 to the D100, pixel structure was about the same-color was different, but it was hard to say what was better.

one advantage to a external pc connector-if the pc connection ever gets messed up-bent, throw it out buy a new one

I own a D100, and just purchased a grip, it is so nice for verticles.

One thing I for got to ask-the rubber on the grip is coming up in the corner-what kind of glue will work to keep the rubber down? Thanks ahead for your help.

I just purchased the grip for the D100, and I love it, the camera is

so much more balanced when shooting verticles. The camera should have

came with the grip built onto it.

I have tethered the D100 & the mac but the transfer is too slow for raw files. I have looked at a D1x which I think has a fire wire cable.

But in the mean time I hook the lap top to the D100 shoot basic j-pegs as polaroids-they come up on the screen fast, when everything is set I unhook the camera and shoot raw files to the flash card.

Chip, I am a little touchy about Nikon being outperformed by Canon.

If it was easier to switch camps I might come over to your side.

chip, I am suprised your answer was not followed by na na na na na! maybe next time.

What do I need to have my Mac G4 Ibook and my Nikon D-100 linked, so

that as I photograph, the photographs come up on the computer so that

someone else could view them? And would this also transfer them to the

HD of the computer?

I have the 28-70 2.8 and it is a great lens, the silent wave focusing is very nice,

steve-nice photo with any camera.

Motor Drive for speed, sure, but for me it is nice because you do not have to remove your eye from the viewfinder to advance the camera.

As far as I know you have that cropping factor with all the lenses,

they are producing wider lenses to compensate for this loss of wide angle.
