review: Nikon D850 high ISO test
This article is an adjunct to the main review of the Nikon D850, and here we only look at how the Nikon D850 (B&H / Amazon) stacks up against other full-frame Nikon DSLRs in terms of high-ISO noise. How the camera performs at higher ISO settings might be of less interest to Nature photographers, but for event and wedding photographers, it is one of the essential factors in considering a camera. In this test, we're going to look how the Nikon D850 compares specifically to the Nikon D5, D810 and D750. To make things interesting for Read more inside...How to fix loose rubber on Nikon cameras
How to fix loose rubber on Nikon cameras
I make no secret of it that I'm not overly thrilled with Canon in general. I was stung badly over the years by their poor quality control. However, I will concede one point to Canon where they are immeasurably better than Nikon - Canon makes a glue that sticks! Not like Nikon where the rubber parts of the camera grip eventually will peel away. It's a Nikon thing. The latest is this rubber peeling loose from the memory card door on my Nikon D810. I love Nikon, but this is tedious. Catch up with Canon! Do some industrial espionage and figure Read more inside...review: Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E VR lens
review: Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E VR lens
The Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E VR (B&H / Amazon) is an immediately appealing lens. It is only $1,400 for a telephoto zoom with a superb range of 200mm to 500mm. $1,400 is a very attractive price, especially when other lenses such as the Nikon 200-400mm f/4 VR II (B&H / Amazon), comes in at 5x that price! I had the first version of the Nikon 200-4oomm and it was stellar! I loved it, but didn't use it enough to warrant such an expensive lens mostly languishing on the shelf. But at $1,400 even occasional Read more inside...review: High-ISO performance – Nikon D750 / D4S / D4 / D810 / D610
review: High-ISO performance – Nikon D750 / D4S / D4 / D810 / D610
With the initial quick test of the Nikon D750 high-ISO noise performance, I was quite impressed. But it really is only in comparison to other cameras that we can see how good it is. With that, I took 5 of the current full-frame Nikon DSLRs to compare them against each other to see their high-ISO noise. Nikon D750 Nikon D4s Nikon D4 Nikon D810 Nikon D610 The Nikon D4s (affiliate) is currently the high-ISO king, so it was specifically interesting to see how the 24 megapixel Nikon Read more inside...Nikon D750 – high-ISO noise performance
Nikon D750 - high-ISO noise performance
The two things everyone is most curious about with the Nikon D750 (B&H / Amazon), is the auto-focus performance and the high-ISO noise performance. Here's a quick preview of what the D750 does at higher ISO settings. Specifically, 3200 ISO and 6400 ISO. (A more complete comparison has since been posted here: review: high-ISO performance – Nikon D750 vs Nikon D4S / D4 / D810 / D610) To put the Nikon D750 (affiliate) through its paces for the (upcoming) review of this camera, I met up with NYC model, Glass Olive for a Read more inside...Nikon D750 – camera settings & custom settings
Nikon D750 camera settings & custom settings
The Nikon D750 (B&H / Amazon), was one of Nikon's most anticipated cameras, as so many photographers were waiting for an update to their beloved D700 cameras. And like you'd expect from a top-end camera, it has a huge range of customizable settings. These make the Nikon D750 a camera which can be configured in a highly personal way, depending on your shooting style and needs. Going through the menu, the options might be overwhelming. Many of them can be left to the default. Some settings will clearly user preference. Read more inside...review: High-ISO performance – Nikon D4S / D4 / D3s / D610 / D700
review: High-ISO performance Nikon D4S / D4 / D3s / D610 / D700
Judging image quality between different cameras, is most often quite subjective when we have equal glass with each camera. The reason for this is that the pixel count has an effect. For example, how do you compare the high-ISO noise performance of the 36 megapixel D800 vs the 12 megapixel D3? You can't just simply zoom in to 100% and go by that. You would have to print to a specific size, or at least down-size the D800 image to 12 megapixels to fairly evaluate the images. So there's a bit of a murky area here in fairly Read more inside...review: Nikon D4S auto-focus / AF performance
review: Nikon D4S auto-focus / AF performance
The Nikon D4s (B&H / Amazon) updates the already-awesome Nikon D4. The short summary lists some improvements, which while they may appear incremental, overall make for a solid new release by Nikon: - a newly designed sensor, offering better high-ISO performance, - an additional AF mode has been added - Group Area AF - for more accurate subject tracking, - 11 fps continuous shooting with continuous AE/AF (compared to the 10 fps of the D4) - 'small' Raw size of 8 Mpx, - 1080/60p video - faster processing with the new Read more inside...Camera review: Nikon Df – the steampunk D4
Camera review: Nikon Df - the steampunk Nikon D4
The anachronistically retro styling of the Nikon Df (B&H / Amazon), along with the digital trappings, really makes this the steampunk D4. Especially so since it has the same top-notch sensor as the Nikon D4 (affiliate) If you have used a film camera, and specifically one of the F-series cameras, this camera will catch your eye. It's obvious that Nikon is aiming at the same sector of photographers who found the Fuji X100s (affiliate) so appealing. That vintage look and styling definitely brings a Read more inside...- 1
