The Nikon D700 may be the newest addition towards the Nikon D sequence digital cameras. The primary distinction in between the D700 and its previously D sequence digital cousins may be the dimension from the sensor. The D700 is really a correct 35mm structure having a digital sensor that’s a 23.9mm by 36mm. Nikon has designated the new structure as FX as opposed to DX for its previously digital SLR cameras.

Whenever you think about all of the functions obtainable and also the truth that the D700 will use almost any Nikon lens created because 1974, the D700 provides substantial bang for that severe amateur or operating professional’s buck.

If your stable of Nikon lens consists of the two FX and DX lens, the two could be utilized about the D700 even though if a DX lens is utilized, the camera will sense this and if Car DX crop is chosen within the Image Region menu, the camera will instantly set the correct image region for that lens.

3. It’s regarded to become an sophisticated amateur’s or expert user’s camera and due to its dimension and fat, the D700 is regarded by numerous to become perfect for that wedding photographer.

4. When the user is so inclined, the camera could be utilized using the settings as shipped in the factory and for most circumstances the D700 will do a great work.

5. The camera is shipped with a great user’s manual.

Cons: none! To date, my D700 has taken 2000 photographs and has functioned flawlessly.

Nikon SB-900: The Basics

August 25th, 2009 Lisa Blackstone 25 comments

This video demonstrates the basic hands-on demonstration on Nikon’s new professional-grade speedlight of SB-900. If you are not so sure about SB-900′s “Light Pattern” – SB-900 can throw light in different directions: Above, Even, and Below. Below is useful when you are using the flash on a flash bracket. The DX and FX feature in the SB-900 allows you to use iTTL, iTTL-BL, iTTL-FP, or iTTL-BL-FP more accurately on FX and DX camera bodies.

Launched together with the Nikon D700 DSLR, the SB-900 is really a flash unit created to compliment the new FX and DX formats.

Nikon SB-900: Modes and functions

As if generating big DSLRs wasn’t sufficient for that R&D guys at Nikon HQ but they had to go and create a monster of a flashgun as well. Standing around 3/4in taller than its predecessor, there’s plenty of improvements made to the SB-900.

Most notably is the rear UI which now holds a plethora of buttons and switches under the big LCD information screen. The power switch in the bottom right corner has four settings for on, off, remote and master. The switch also has a locking button set in the centre to prevent switching over to the latter two by mistake.

The wheel next to the power button is for making adjustments to any modes that you can enter by using the three translucent buttons sat directly under the LCD screen. These buttons will change what they can access depending on what mode you’re in, for example if you’re in TTL (through the lens) mode, the left button will access flash compensation and the right button will adjust the f/ number. As well as using the wheel to scroll through the options of these buttons, repeatedly pressing them will also rotate the options available to you.

The mode button will scroll through the different modes available including i-TTL, Gn and repeating flash mode.

Pros:

Excellent build quality

Loads of functions should cope with every scenario

180 degree turning circle both ways

Extended range of up to 200mm

Cons:

Expensive

Entry to menu not very clear
