    I never use my DSLR in live view mode because doing so it's no longer an SLR. I use and SLR because I want an SLR.

    In live view mode there is no mirror slap noise but the shutter makes more noise than in the viewfinder mode because it has to close, open, close, then open again for every shot.

    Really you use rechargeable batteries in the Maxxum 7000?
  4. BeBu Lamar
    Yes like others have recommended. Just read the manual. The 7000 was the first Minolta autofocus camera and in no way it's a manual camera although it can be used in manual just like most of the digital cameras nowaday.

    How many of those experts can take photos as good as the many photographers who use their cameras and surely not knowing how to build one? 2 different skills.

    First I must agree with AJG that some how the non TTL auto is more reliable than TTL. I don't know how. But back to TTL. In the beginning the TTL needs a light sensor sitting at the bottom of the mirror box reading light reflected of the film and when digital came around they found that the reflection from the imaging sensor doesn't work well. So they had to do preflash. Now that all mirrorless camera use the imaging sensor for AF, ambient light exposure measurement can they use the imaging sensor to measure flash as well? I guess not.

    Nikon will have to develop video lenses which they can do. Not a problem. Does RED own any manufacturing facilities? And where are their factories located?

    I can't see how it doesn't allow you to set f/22. Auto Indexing is really no indexing.

    Back in the late 70's I considered the Rollei 35 and the Minox EL as a compact camera. Finally I setted on the Olympus XA.

    I think the battery is likely to swell when you charge it. I have laptop with swelled batteries and like wise you would charge the Iphone battery inside the phone.

    I much rather using Jurassic stuff than Chinese made stuff.

    Why do you think the display is not correct?
  14. BeBu Lamar
    In fact if the internal battery goes bad I would find shop that is willing to cut it out. I don't care for the cloc/calendar function.
  15. BeBu Lamar
    I don't worry about losing time. I worry about if the internal battery got depleted for a long time it may not take the charge any more so that when you put the EN-EL back in there it keeps draining it because it would constantly charge but not full. Unlike top end cameras like the D5 which has user replaceable battery for this, my Df will have to send it to Nikon and in the future Nikon may not even service it any more.

    I would keep a full charged battery in the camera. I too am afraid that the internal battery gets discharged for a long time and goes dead. Unlike some top of the line cameras, the internal battery in my camera is not user replaceable so it would be expensive to have Nikon do it and down the road Nikon wouldn't even do it.

    I am all for getting rid of the mechanical shutter but I don't really feel I would need the global shutter.
  18. BeBu Lamar
    I like the camera but it's not full frame. If it's full frame it would be a great camera with the film advance level (used only for shutter cocking). Even with the rewind knob. So cool.

    If you only run Adobe software then I think the Mac is best.

    The F4 has more display problem than the F3. I saw many F4's with bleeding display.
  21. BeBu Lamar
    I do meant compared to the FM3a but someone mentioned the F3 and still the F3 is simpler than the New F-1.
  22. BeBu Lamar
    My F3 is very old. LCD is fine. Metering and shutter speed are very accurate. The F3 was of a much simpler design partly because of the Nikon Lenses and because it doesn't support shutter priority mode. The F1 was very complex in order to support both aperture priority and shutter priority. Also due the the coupling of the FD lenses it's complex to provide meter manual mode. You can see the A-1 and AE-1 don't have meter manual mode. When you switch to manual you see the suggested aperture in the viewfinder but not the aperture you set. To provide both the suggested aperture and the aperture you set on the F1 is quite a complex design.
  23. BeBu Lamar
    The New F1 did have a hybrid shutter and can operate many shutter speed without battery (many but not all speeds) https://global.canon/en/c-museum/history/story06.html The new F1 was an extremely complex in design and thus I wouldn't choose it over the Nikon.
  24. BeBu Lamar
    I think the name is not correct here. I believe the F1N is the second version of the F1 and all shutter speeds are mechanical only like the F1. The New F1 is the lastest version with the small grip like that on the A-1 has hybrid shutter. If you want to use the mechanical shutter you have to remove the battery.

    Back in 2002 I could buy the FM3a for less than $600 new but I bought the F5 instead for $1930. I can't sell my F5 now but if I bought the FM3a I would sell it for the money. The F5 is still worth more to me but I can't sell it for money like I could with an FM3a.
