The Nikon D800 and wide-angle lenses. In this final section of the Nikon D800 lens test review, we’ll be looking at the wide-angle lenses. For clarity, we are classing any lens with a focal length up to 35mm as wide-angle. Within this we have broken lenses down into the ultra-wides with focal lengths below 21mm, wide-angle between 21mm and 35mm and zoom wide-angles with a focal length up to 35mm. The thing to remember is that with these categories, zoom lenses will always score lower than prime lenses. This is a function of the optical design limits of wide-angle lenses, though it should be noted that some prime wide-angles do manage to score almost as well as standard prime lenses. Compared to the whole database, wide-angle lenses, and especially wide-angle zoom lenses, score lower than most other focal lengths. The reasons for the lower wide-angle scores are simple – wide angles tend to suffer more with distortion, vignetting and sharpness across the frame. Ultra-wide Wide-angle Zooms Conclusion.

Nikon D3s Review by Thom Hogan. The D3s is not a new body. It's basically the D3 body with only a couple of small differences (both internal and external). It's probably worth listing them individually here: New sensor. As noted above, the D3s has a different sensor than the D3. The specifications are all the same: 12mp CMOS, Nikon-designed, etc.. But the capabilities aren't. From a numeric standpoint, there aren't a lot of changes; maybe a dozen things you'll actually notice on a camera that has hundreds of features. Nikon has been working at getting more user control up out of the menus and into buttons and dials lately. We still don't quite have "bank" nirvana, but Nikon is getting closer. The expanded buffer is, well, enormous. The video abilities of the D3s are similar to the other Nikon video-enabled DSLRs: 720P at 24 frames, mono sound (unless you use an external stereo microphone), stored as Motion-JPEG.
I wish video were the same. Let me explain. Thom Hogan - Complete Guide to the Nikon D3. Nikon D800 and D800E Custom Menu: Metering/exposure.

The Most Complete Nikon D800\e Review. Review based on production Nikon D800 and D800E cameras running firmware v1.00 June 2012: This review has been significantly expanded to include detailed analysis of the performance of the D800 alongside its closely-related stablemate the D800E.
We have also added samples and analysis of the D800/E's uncompressed video feature. Except where specifically noted, any comments in the body of this review which reference the 'Nikon D800' actually refer to both models. When the Nikon D800 and D800E were announced, the specification that got everyone's attention was - and to a large degree still is - the massive pixel count of their 36.3MP CMOS sensor. When a moderately-sized full-frame DSLR body aspires to go toe-to-toe with medium format cameras and backs at a fraction of their price, other attributes can seem secondary.
But don't be misled. Coming as a successor to the now 3 1/2 year old D700, Nikon has updated much more than just the resolution. Broad appeal Compared to the Nikon D700. A (very detailed) first impressions review: The Nikon D800. We all know the paper specs for the Nikon D800: 36MP, 4fps, full frame. Same ISO range as the D700 – 100 to 25,600. 100% viewfinder, full HD movies, and an improved 51-point AF system derived from the previous camera. And to boot, a D800E version with no anti-aliasing filter for even more resolution, as if 36MP with a weak filter wasn’t enough for you.
What we don’t know is how it fares in the real world. What follows is what I believe is the one of, if not the first, complete, real-world test by a photographer of a production D800. 8 hours of non-stop flat-out work – so, please leave a comment if you enjoyed it. I first heard D800-shaped noises way back at a Nikon event in March 2011, both locally and from my sources in Japan. These definitely wasn’t the same information as what was going around on the popular rumor sites at the time – I was told specifically D3X replacement, slightly higher pricing.

Handheld Macro Photography Handheld macro photography in the field can be one of the most fun and rewarding ways to photograph nature. The required equipment setup can be simple and lightweight and easy to use and does not have to heavy, overly complicated and cost an arm and a leg.
Over the next couple of weeks I will cover my favorite close-up tips and techniques in multiple parts; macro flash basics, my recommended equipment, and finally field techniques. I hope this will inspire and motivate you to get out in the field and give close up photography a try, especially my favorite, hand held macro flash photography. I prefer to shoot handheld and with flash when doing macro photography. Take a look at the full frame daisy image above, then look at the same image below cropped at 100% view to show you the amount of detail present in the same image above. Handheld close-up photography gives you freedom and speed that is just not possible when using a tripod.

So all that said (BIG breath in ! So here is the order in which I setup my D800: -Firstly turn your camera on ;-), had to put this in ! You also have to select which type of Bracket you want to shoot.
