<p>Michael,<br>

I see it looks like the photograph must of been taken with a D200.....<br>

Cheers</p>

<blockquote>

<p>It's not a D200. The D200 does not have a White Balance sensor on the prism</p>

</blockquote>

<p>Not a W/B sensor but snow......<br>

<strong>"Equipment</strong><br /> Nikon D200, Nikkor 17-55/2.8"

<p>I don't know if this post will last......<br>

But if a D800 is offered without a AA filter it would not necessarily affect cleaning the sensor. lots of MF cameras do not have a AA filter and sensor cleaning is the same.<br>

Brian, look here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-aliasing_filter</p>

<p>Interesting information on the new Nikon from a respected magazine.<br /> http://www.chassimages.com/forum/index.php/topic,146552.0.html</p>

<p>Why they wrote it .<br /> http://www.photographydailynews.com/2012/02/nikon-d800-breaking-news/</p>

<p>Le Giao,<br /> I have updated Capture NX2 several times including from 2.2.8 to version 2.3.0 without having to enter my product key.<br /> You do need to enter the key if you upgrade to the 64bit version of 2.3 if you have call back enabled.</p>

<p>Cheers</p>

<p>I updated to 2.3 without needing to enter my key.....<br>

Have you updated to the 64bit version?</p>

<p>My advise would be to uninstall CaptureNX2, VeiwNX2, Picture Control, run a registry cleaner. Then manually remove all the associated crap that <strong>will</strong> still be left on your system.<br>

I would be confident your new product key will work on a completely fresh installation. </p>

<p>Cheers</p>

<p>I rarely use VR for various reasons.....<br>

But lots of people do and as this lens is considered the ultimate safari lens by many. And tripods rarely get used on safari VR is very useful to them.</p>

<p>Cheers</p>

<p>What you see is a delayed image...... optical viewfinders are still necessary on a flagship sports camera.</p>

<p>Cheers</p>

<p>Ruslan,<br>

This lens is highly praised for good reason.....<br>

Corner sharpness even with FX is superb at f4. With MTF you will be be able to shoot wide open with good border IQ.</p>

<p>The lens is not prone to flare but it can be a problem with strong light. I prefer the 105 f2 DC for portraiture but the f2.5 is superb especially at the price you can buy them for.</p>

<p>Cheers </p>

<p>1. Yes you need a IR filter.</p>

<p>2. You will have to use a tripod because of the long exposures required. Frame the subject focus attach the filter then focus adjust for IR shift.</p>

<p>3. You need to set a custom white balance, a reading from green grass works well.</p>

<p>4. <strong>The D300s is not a good candidate for IR photography</strong> as it has a strong Anti-aliasing filter to cut out IR contamination. Early Nikon DSLR's like the D70 are much more sensitive to IR light.<br>

Your 17-55 is also not ideal as it can easily produce hotspots on the image.</p>

<p>If you bought the Nikon 85mm f1.4 AFD for portrait use and were disappointed I would be amazed. <br>

I use both Nikon's and the G has better corner sharpness for landscapes or such. But for people I still use my beloved AFD.</p>

<blockquote>

<p>CMOS vs. CCD. Are the lines between these two technologies getting blurred? My Canon G10 15MP CCD photos look as good as my older Nikon large format CMOS SLR.</p>

</blockquote>

<p>Large format? </p>

<p>This is a full spectrum camera to shoot IR you will have to use a filter.<br>

The advantage of this camera is it is already factory converted. And with suitable filters you can shoot UV and IR.</p>

</blockquote>

<p>He was boldly shouting.....<br /> <strong>WHICH MACRO LENS IS THE BETTER?</strong><br /> My choice would be the Nikon AFS version.</p>

<p>I don't think Nikon have missed anything.....<br>

There is a shortage of D700's and the selling price is rising not falling. </p>

<blockquote>

<p>As has been already asked: Has your original issue been resolved?</p>

</blockquote>

<p>I doubt it has.... But Nikon have given Frank a hug so it all ended well.</p>

<blockquote>

<p>Excuse my ignorance, but what would be the purpose of that?</p>

</blockquote>

<p>To download your images.</p>

<p>Mark,<br>

I will literally waste hours trying to figure something out by fiddling with the camera before I resort to reading the manual. But if I manage to figure it out I don't forget what to do next time.</p>

<p>I have third party guides but already know 90% of the information contained from using previous cameras. After I have read them I forget almost everything about the remaining 10% of useful information. I can only see a real benefit if it is your first DSLR and you need help getting started.</p>

<p>When I am stuck I reluctantly RTFM (poofter), normally the PDF version as it is easier to navigate. The third party version is left to collect dust on the shelf.</p>

<p>Victor, The two button reset is just a reboot..... To restore the camera completely back to original factory state you need to.....</p>

<p>1. Turn the camera OFF.<br />2. Remove the main battery.<br />3. Turn the camera ON until the clock battery runs down<br />(note that this may take several days). If you’re in a<br />rush you can try leaving the camera ON for only a<br />few seconds, but this doesn’t fully reset some of the<br />internal parameters.<br />4. Turn the camera OFF.<br />5. Put the battery back into the camera.<br />6. Turn the camera back On.</p>

<p>The "D800" might sell for $2995? .....People could then be desperate to bag a $2350 D700 with lens rebate.<br>

The cost of all Nikon's recent new products has seen a big increase over the previous model.</p>
