Snipped images from the cameramemoryspeed website. The camera body does become the bottle neck with faster cards. But, when uploading to your computer, the faster cards earn their keep.

I use the Sandisk card mentioned here with my d7200 and it works well.

I jumped on that Adorama deal as soon as it happened. Got a notification about it in my twitter feed. It is an absolute steal!!!

Also, if it weren't for all the great people out here on UHH, I would never have considered refurbished cameras before. They truly are as good as new.

Nikon D7100 vs D7200

ChiefEW wrote:

Is the D7200 worth the extra money for the casual photographer?
Thanks.

I see this being a very subjective type of question. It's not a straight "features and functions" type of thing and thus one is better than the other. It's whether or not those differences are meaningful enough to you to pay more. Both cameras are excellent choices and you can't go wrong with either one. I suggest you do three things; (1) read the comparisons and understand the differences; (2) think about the differences and decide if they are meaningful enough to you to decide one is worth $300 more to you and (3) find a store where you can pick up and feel the camera in your hands. Decide if it feels comfortable in your hand from both a weight and ergonomics perspective (very important).

Nikon's new DL Series Cameras

Link to Digital Photography Review article on the camera line HERE.

This is not really a review. It is merely an article by someone who has handled a preproduction model and mentions all of the features and functions. There is no discussion on the quality of the pictures and their actual use of the camera in action.

Nikon has 3 new upcoming fixed lens cameras that are named the DL Series. They are: #1. DL 24-85mm F1.8-2.8. $647.00. #2. DL 18-50mm F1.8-2.8 $847.00. #3. DL 24-500mm F2.8-5.6. $997.00. Reviews may already be out on these cameras. These are B&H prices.

Not trying to be rude but this not new information. The announcement came a few weeks ago and has been mentioned on many photography sites, including this one. There are no reviews out at the present time. Only articles discussing features and functions. Cameras are being released in June.

Switching to Nikon FX camera

robtenn wrote:

I am looking to upgrade to an FX camera. I have several FX lenses. So far I am leaning toward the Nikon D750. Any thoughts about this camera? Should I consider a different model? Any feedback would be great.

I have previously owned the d750 and it is a great camera. I am curious if you have considered the d610 which is currently being sold for $1299 (body only). You can save yourself $700 vs the d750. I have owned the d610 as well and that takes excellent pictures. You can use the $700 you save and purchase additional FX glass or put it towards a memorable experience where you can exercise the camera and create some beautiful memories. Yes, I know the d750 has some additional feature (built in wifi, articulating screen, etc) but the you would be quite happy with pictures produced out of the D610. Just a thought. Either way, I can tell you that you will be quite happy with the results from either camera.

The view of downtown NYC this morning looked like something out of the movie Independence Day.

Have I suffered a sudden onset G.A.S. attack or am I a savvy shopper?

I was at my local Best Buy this morning and saw the ad under the Nikon D610. When I read it I thought it was a little off as I didn't figure the 80-300mm lens was so much. I came home and checked the Nikon site and found it WAS that expensive. I went right back and ordered the combination. It arrives Thursday.

When you take the SKU:2063106 & enter it into the search function on Best Buy it shows the combination to be $2299.99 on sale.

I went to two local best buy's near me in NY but unfortunately neither one had this deal. Oh well, it must be some sort of regional deal that is not being offered here.

Wow, great buy. Similar thing happened to me at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago. It was an unadvertised sale for the Nikon d5500 w/18-55mm lens for $499. I ended up buying it. I think I am going to exchange it to get the 610 instead. That will be quite an upgrade.

Nikon D5500

I can't believe the deal I got today on a Nikon D5500 w/18-55 mm lens! I happened to stop into my local Best Buy store after making a bagel run this morning. I stopped in the camera section, as always, and couldn't believe my eyes! $499!!! Brand new limited time only offer and not an open box special! This offer wasn't listed in their weekly ad or anywhere on the Best Buy website. The best price I could find anywhere on the web (including B&H and Adorama) was $350 more!!

I have just come out of some hard financial times and have been looking for a new dslr after having sold mine last year. I obviously couldn't pass this deal up.

The kit lens is fine to start given my recent hard times but hope to purchase a better all purpose lens in the next few months. Anyone have any suggestions?
