    <p>Andrew, when I said "madness", was because of the availability of it thru amazon before the release date =)<br>

    Price is according I guess, given that it indeed seems to have the D4's sensor. I had hopes anyway for it to be a market competitor on the same price range of the new sony cameras, I guess thats a no. I'd get one just for fun if I had 3k to spare, but I don't, so I'll just wait for my visit to the states and get the D600 or the D610 for about the same price with more lenses.</p>

    <p>I've seen it happen on the D7000 of a colleague and was told to be very aware of this by a senior photographer when I started asking him for recommendations if I ever wanted to purchase a used Nikon, so I assumed it was more common for it to happen than not, so based on my experience I gave the reply, but, given nikon's statement, and what I've seen I'd say that it is very likely that it happened to the OP. In any case is definitely a good idea to get the full story from nikon as you suggested.</p>

    <p>Shun, this is from Nikon:</p>

    <blockquote>

    <p>How many pictures has my camera taken? How many will it take?</p>

    Answer ID 16492|Published 07/24/2009 04:10 PM|Updated <strong>03/27/2013</strong> 02:37 PM

    <p>Nikon DSLR cameras incorporate a shutter mechanism capable of moving extremely fast to help capture split second detail. The mechanical precision required to achieve shutter speeds up to 1/8000s is awe inspiring. However, as with everything mechanical, it may need to be serviced or replaced someday.<br>

    There is no way to accurately tell the total number of times your camera shutter has released. While there are third party software applications designed to read a cameras shutter count,<strong> this number is not always accurate because the shutter release times may be reset by firmware updates, or reset in the Service department if certain parts are replaced or other operations are performed.</strong><br>

    Since an exact number of releases before failure cannot be exactly calculated, a formula is used to estimate when it may occur, called MTBF ( Mean Time Between Failures). MTBF is a mathematical system that uses statistical analysis to project an average expected 'lifespan' of a given item. Based on testing and past performance, along with service information, we can formulate an estimated average number of shutter releases ( also referred to as <em>actuations</em> or <em>cycles</em> ) that can be expected before probable shutter failure.</p>

    <p>I am in no way an expert or super knowledgeable, I know there are people here who knows their Nikons like the back of their own hand, including you Shun, so I wouldn't risk giving an answer on something I'm not entirely sure or have a source to back it up. <br>

    Hope it helps. =)</p>

    Buying the D610, which lenses to get?

    <p>Thanks again to all for the responses, since I'm not going to the states until around January (I'm buying it there and I'm from Argentina), I have time to consider maybe the new toy that's about to be launched, I've been reading about the FM3-like new full frame camera and go from my beloved D7000 to the retro new ff instead of the D610, only time will tell, thanks again! Either way, I've decided not to get the 28-300 as comfortable as it may seem.</p>

    <p>Thanks for the replies!<br>

    I was under the impression that the VR in gold was the newer version and the VR in red (on the lens itself) was the older one, and this one seems to be the red one, I probably am wrong though, I did not know about that Ilkka, thanks for the clarification. I am more inclined to landscaping, portrait and wedding photography, so telephoto is more of a vacation, hiking, and personal use kinda thing.<br>

    I'll probably end up getting the 2 lenses kit, as I intend on getting the 24-70 f2 as soon as my budget allows me to, just wanted to know if there was a significant reason for getting one of the options over the other, come to think about it, if I sell the 24-85 to make the 24-70 hurt my pockets a bit less it probably wouldn't make any sense to get the 28-300, right? as tempting as almost never removing the lens may sound. </p>

    <p>I've seen the bundle for the D610+nikkor 28-300 and I've seen the bundle for the D610+24-85 and 70-300 (VR I I believe), in adorama, for around the same price, which one to choose and why? the focal lenght covered is pretty much the same, are there any real advantages on one of the combos over the other? Thanks!</p>

    An ISO Question

    in Beginner Questions

    Posted

    <p>As pretty much everything in photography, it DEPENDS, to quote an example, band photography is usually done without the use of flash and high isos, and that is because mainly bands preffer not to have a flash light bothering them, some people would rather not have flashes on their wedding also, high iso is not necessarilly the easy way out, my 2 cents.<br>

    This was taken with my D7000 @ISO 6400: <a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8286/7627833348_847aed9df7_k.jpg">http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8286/7627833348_847aed9df7_k.jpg</a></p>

    <p>I was able to fully manage my d7000 focus system only after reading what Peter posted here, awhile back, not sure who posted it or if I even got it from here, but the point is, that pdf made me understand and dominate the system with clear examples and explanations. +1 to Peter.</p>

    <p>What Peter said, also, it might be a good idea to get familiarized with what shutter speed does to your pictures, aperture, and isos (as Peter explained), not in your camera in particular but in a generic way, once I got to understand all that, settings on the camera stopped being scary and started becoming powerful tools :)</p>
