THE GROUP.

Nikon has been renowned for high-quality optics and camera equipment since they were founded in 1919. The history of Nikon cameras began in 1948, the year that the Nikon I, the company's first camera was released. Today Nikon continues that legacy with an outstanding line of digital SLR (single lens reflex) cameras including the D90, D300, D700, D3 and the new D3x.

This group is a place for users of all Nikon digital SLR and point-and-shoot cameras to share their experiences, demonstrate techniques through example, and discuss Nikon's latest offerings.

CAUTION: Camera brand debates will not be tolerated in this group. Do not post "Canon vs Nikon or Pentax vs Nikon" threads. Do not ask which camera is better (exceptions on Nikon Cameras only). Discussions of this type will be promptly deleted.

Cheers!~
Maeda

Nikkor 80-400mm redesign 6 Replies

Has anyone heard if Nikon will redesign the 80-400mm lens anytime soon? This lens was first introduced nine years ago. This zoom range is perfect for my needs but the old design is putting me off.

Comment by Mike Noble on July 1, 2009 at 3:35am: Jason, I can't make a comparison with the D300, but the D700 is exquisite. I recently shot a wedding that I needed ISO 2500 for. The clients loved the shots. The D700 is my first Nikon so I don't have to worry about DX lenses. It is more $$$, but from what I have read and experienced, you are getting the best of the D300 and the D3 in a great, solid camera. Bang for the buck, buddy.

Comment by Larry Van Valkenburgh on June 30, 2009 at 11:37am: The D300 is still a DX format camera and is an excellent camera body.
You would be very happy with it and your DX lenses work perfectly with it,
Moving up to an FX camera body with your DX lenses would give you cropped or vignetted images. The D300 and higher all give you an external PC connection for using external flashes, along with a lot of other features.
I highly reccomend the D300 for an upgrade, but do all your research you can and go to the Nikon website and check out all the features of each camera.

Comment by Jason Fortner on June 30, 2009 at 10:53am: I posted this question on the main page and I think I'll get a better response here. I have a full Nikon DX crop system, but I am interested in moving up to FX full frame. I know full frame is the cats meow, but I was wondering if anyone out there with a D300 is 2 grand happier than a guy with a D700. I have been unimpressed with Higher ISO pictures with my D80 in low light for wedding shots. I guess I really just want to know if a D300 is going to be enough, the highest ISO I shoot at a wedding is 1600. If a D700 or (Gulp) a D3 is the way to go then so be it. I don't really have a budget, and I'm not looking seriously untill my 70-200 2.8 is paid off my visa card. Thanks for your input

Comment by BeaJae on June 18, 2009 at 2:14pm: I'm definitely an ameteur who loves digital photography. I was using a very little Pentax which took great pictures, but you couldn't see what you were photographing in the monitor if the sun was out. I just bought a Nikon CoolPix P90 and I love it. I stopped using my SLR because I was tired of lugging all of the equipment around,\. The P90 is great. It is nice to use and takes great pictures. I definitley benefited from using the Pentax first, as it made my Nikon easy to understand and use!! Does anyone else use the P90?

Comment by Jonathan on June 15, 2009 at 2:57pm: my english teacher has the D2H .. he seems to like it very much, but i cant tell you anything more than that.

Comment by Seth Herald on June 14, 2009 at 12:18pm: What do you Guys think of a Nikon D2h? im thinking about getting one it seems like a really Nice camera.
