to do and with good quality, and what should I pay attention to?

If $170 is not that big a deal for you, go for D40X. In computer screen, you can zoom in more or to magnify more than D40. Couple of years down the road, you may find it easy to sell your D40X than D40 in eBay.

Does Nikon camera (mine are D40, D40X, and 8700) have reset button. Or

something similar to computer's Control-Alternate-Delete keys combination.

Do you know why APS format failed?

When the picture quality between 35mm and APS is obvious but the price difference is not, APS died.

FF image is way better than DX's. As long as FF sensors cost a lot more than DX sensors, DX format will still be around. As long as the cost of tele lens is more the wide angle lens, DX will still be around. ...

I bet those 1.?X lenses (from all camera manufacturers) will be around at least 10 to 20 years. So buy what you need and can afford today. You can get the best technology with the lowest price the day before you die.

Does Nikon let us to install Capture NX on more than 1 computer?

Ilkka Nissila, your wrote, "The high ISO noise reduction settings affect the image if the RAW converter supports these in-camera settings. E.g. Nikon View (NX), Nikon Capture (NX) etc."

 

I believe ViewNX doesn't have Noise Reduction feature, while CaptureNX does. Therefore, using ViewNX to convert NEF file to JPEG won't have the Noise Reduction setting as it was in the camera. Am I right?

Does the Noise Reduction on the camera has any effect on NEF files?

Elliot, you confused me.

 

(1) You wrote, "There is no noise reduction in NX."

Do you mean ViewNX or Capture NX?

 

(2) You wrote, "In fact, they removed some of the basic editing features that the original Nikon View had."

Do you mean that NikonView has the best features?

Does Nikon's free PictureProject come with Nois Reduction feature? I can't find

Don't you ever wish your mom is Nikon Coporation so that you never get hurt when you fall.

Is there any shortcut or quickguide for a new Nikon SB-800 user?

After I downloaded Camera_Raw_3_7 from Adobe site, I ran the Camera_Raw_3_7.

It automatically opened the Photoshop Element 5 program. But the Element still

cannot read the NEF file generated from D40.

You mean that "only" Nikon knows how to remove fringes, but Nikon doesn't want to give it away "free". Then what wrong is it? I'm sure that you aren't a Nikon employee.

Please excuse my ignorance. Are you comparing 3 lenses: Carl Zeiss Makro Planar 50/2, Nikkor 50/1.4, and Nikkor 45P? What is the Nikkor 45P?

I don't believe Nikon intentionally makes inferior products in Thailand. What is the purpose: To trash foreign countries or to trash its own brand. I believe Nikon moves lower margin products to other countries to cut cost. When a product's margin goes down because of competition, Nikon uses less durable components to cut cost. Because of that, products made in Japan are normally better quality and higher margin products.

If I left NEF files in my hard drive, will Disk Defragment from Windows XP

destroy NEF files?

attached to USB port of my PC. Couple of days later, all photos disappeared.

 

DCIM folder is there but nothing inside.

There are 2 other folders. One with no name. One with the name of "ure NX 1..1"

The top directory has some junk files. Some of them are 1 to 2 MB

Is there any significant differences between them?

After I got NEF, should I work on NEF file only and save the resuls in JPEG?

Or should I convert NEF to DNG and save the results in JPEG and DNG?

You probably used "Auto" white balance.
