Great thanks - i'll have a look.

Yeah - i've seen the D700 a bit cheaper which made it closer to the D7000 price.

Yes the internet does tend to inflate these issues, thanks for the input.

Guys, Some advice please if you don't mind? I have been a Nikon user for a few years but last year I traded up and got a Fuji X100. I was really sold by the fast prime the size and the traditional controls, but alas some of the niggles make it just too frustrating to own as primary...

Agree about the focussing of the X100. My wife and I both use my camera and focussing up close and in dim light is frustrating. Especially as the wide lens lends itself to getting up close. This really wouldn't be an issue if you could switch to using the manual ring but the increments are so...

Hi Geoff, yes I mean scanning prints of old family photos. I hadn't thought about setting up my camera as I barely have enough time to process my own shots and we are talking hundreds of prints. A quick google showed some companies I wondered if anyone had used them?

Hi Guys, I have a mountain of family of family photos to get scanned in and don't have the time to do it myslef. Can anybody recommend a scanning service that can do it on my behalf? thanks in advance D-man

No one? For those interested the best I advice I could find find was get waterproof zip bags and big bags of silica gel. Fingers crossed.....

Hi Guys, I'm guessing this is the right place place to post - if not feel free to move. I'm travelling to SE Asia for a month will be spending a week in Borneo (trekking in the Jungle looking for Orangutans). Has anyone got any practical tips/advice for looking after their kit in these...

Yes the D7000 does looks awesome. I also like the fact that it is only marginally bigger than the D90.

Manual it is. Thanks Dave.

Thanks for the advice guys but i've been into CSM/Setup menu and checked that it was on "full". I've been through all the menu's (Playback, Shooting,Custom Setting, Setup & Retouch) and still can't find it.:thinking:

Hi All, I've had a D60 for 3 years now and I feel like its time to upgrade. Although I love this camera it's annoying having to go into the menu's to change stuff like metering/shooting options etc. It is also incompatible with the older lenses. I have the 18 - 200mm DX, 35mm DX and an...

Sorry if i'm being a bit dim but i've been through all of the menu options and can't see an option to change sync flash speed. I can see a flash exposure comp and ttl metering but no sync options.

Hi I wonder if you guys can help? I recently got an SB600 for my D60 for shooting a couple of weddings. One problem I have is when using it for fill flash about 50% of the time it over exposes shots. For some reason it doesn't want to let the shutter speed go above 1/60. I guess I could...
