Thanks for the input! I have always used Epson ink, but am afraid of the ink drying up on me if I do not print for a month or so- I seem to print in batches...


I, too, have an EPSON 3880 and have never used anything but OEM inks. The results are so spectacular that I'm afraid to chance 3rd party inks. And I often don't print for a month or so. Never any problems.

You want to go full frame, but your not shure what to get for your next lens. How do you know you need a full frame camera to start with and unless you get old or used you will spend twice the money for FF as for APSC. I hope you have a fat wallet, youre going to need it. First what do you do with your photos, do you print them and if so how large, if your photos only live on or in your computer or face book, do you need a FF camera for that or do you want to say ...LOOK at me I'm shooting with a full frame camera.

Someone asked me if I was a "right brain" or "left brain" person.
I replied that I was more of a "brain stem" person.

I am looking for a good quality camera that I can use when kayaking, I have the Nikon D500 and the Sony A7R2, I like a nice quality photo, I can not see myself putting an expense camera in a bag! Or spending 1k on a housing, any thoughts on the GoPro5 or a water proof point &shoot, I will be on the intercoastal water ways and in the mangrove s in Florida. Thanks for your thoughts.


I wouldn't use a camera when kayaking. I would use a kayak.

My "local" camera store is about a 45 minute drive from where I live. It's a Mom & Pop store that just recently celebrated it's 20th year in business. The owners are very knowledgable as are the few helpers they have.

I think the big box stores chains are driving the smaller, privately owned stores out of business no matter what product they sell.

The camera store I go to is the Pasco Camera Exchange in New Port Richey, Fl.


I feel lucky that I have an excellent "local" camera store, Pro Photo Supply in Portland, OR. I just bought a Nikon D810 body and a Manfrotto tripod from them. They sent me a nice thank you card, so I will keep patronizing them.

I am very fortunate to have a camera shop just 5 minutes driving from my home. The staff is very knowledgeable and always willing to help and answer questions, even when I visit them and don't buy anything.
This is in the Vancouver, British Columbia area, 'Kerrisdale Cameras'.

I have visited the Big Box stores as well, but have found that staff will give very vague answers to my questions, and sometimes don't even know what items they have in their department or where they are.


The last time I was in Vancouver, BC I visited a London Drugs Store and they seemed to have a complete camera department in their store. Do you know what their level of expertise is?

I have owned a number of refurbs over the years. MacBook Pro's Nikon D7200 and D500 as well as some lenses. If someone buys a camera and then returns it, they can't put that s/n back in new stock (innovatory) so they certify it and sell it as factory refurb. You can save a lot of money.


What's "innovatory?"

Long lenses have no place in the stands at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on race day. There are too many people with too much other gear. Each seat is defined as being 14' wide. Try occupying a 14' seat space and wield a 400mm lens on your dslr. Bet the guy next to you isn't going to let you have his space. That 14' also has to hold any cooler you brought. Unless you have been there do not make assumptions about the Speedway, there is nothing like Indy on race day, nothing!


But 14 feet is plenty.

Many of the lens post are opinions, their choice is always the best. I had a Tammy G1 + Nikor 200-500. I purchased the G2 a fews months ago, I've sold both the G1 and Nikon since. I seldon read lens manuels but I will in the furture, the G2 has two AF modes, after reading the manuel explaining the two AF modes I love it. This is my opinion based on shooting wildlife. The 100mm is a plus when shooting elk, moose, bears ect at a distance. Get the lens that best suits your subjects. Have fun!


"I seldom read lens manuels, but will in the furture." Horrible English.

Bob, the first time it happened, the kit lens that came with it (a very nice 18-140mm) also had to be repaired. Although I never dropped it or mishandled it, I am willing to believe that someone cleaning my ship's cabin on a cruise may have accidentally bumped it. However, the second occurrence came about five months later, and no lens was (evidently) involved.

Part of my conundrum comes from Nikon's response to my issue: All repairs are said to be warranted for six months. Believing that my camera fell under warranty repair after less than that, I was a bit put off by Nikon's claim that "damage due to drops" is not warranted, and that I would have to pay for the same repair again. Since I have no way of proving a negative (that I didn't drop the camera), I had no choice but to pony up and pay again.

I won't pay a third time. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on you. The best way to prevent a third occurrence is by not using the camera.

I believe the quote is "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame of me."

You won't see any difference as long as the card keeps working, but read/write speeds and durability can be huge factors.
EDIT: BTW, nice shot of the happy fish. And welcome to UHH!


FISH? It's a mammal.

Hi all- I'll be traveling extensively this summer and wanted some recommendations for a large capacity SD card for my D7200. I presently use both 32 and 64gb SDXC cards (both Lexar Pro and Sandisk) and have had no problems using1 slot for photo and the other for video. However I'm thinking of shooting in RAW instead of JPG and wondering if anyone has gone to 128 gb? I do plan to download the cards to an external HD but I'm also considering the weight of all my equipment and will probably look to bring this down to the essentials.
Since Nikon doesn't list anything above 32 gb, I was hoping there are some Hogs who could share their experiences in using any of newer high capacity (> 64 gb) cards? As a point of reference, I do like to shoot in DX format -L and my videos are also 1080P so I am going through lots of card memory
Thanks!

I've used both Lexar and Sandisk 128gb cards with no problems in my Nikon D800.

For the most part in a zoo I can get away with a 55-300 or an 18-300. I shoot Nikon 7200 and the DX lenses are a lot lighter than an FX. I have a 150-600 Sigma Sport but I would never bring it to the zoo. It's just to heavy and to big, plus I would really need a tripod to work with it whereas I can get away with a mono pod or hand hold a 300mm zoom lens.


Argh "...it's just TOO heavy and TOO big"

I totally get what your saying. But I'm not well educated on what's the best. I have read and read online but seem to get nowhere on an understanding. The selection and choices are just so big. I take senior pics, babies and family's and life events, But I also take animal pics and some landscaping. But I guess people are really my passion. So maybe that will help narrow down my reAding on what's the best choice for me.


"get what you're saying." Ouch.
