anyone unhappy with the 1/250s flash sync+support for highspeed sync? many highlighted that the 1/500s for D50, D70 and D70s was superb vs 1/250s of the pro Nikon models and other manufacturers' bodies....

Me, i definitely have much use for higher speed flashes. ISO 100 is quite welcomed. Bo bian lor, at least got highspeed sync.

More importantly, hope CAM-1000 measures up effectively. Not sure how it is compared to 1300 but it definitely is not CAM-2000.

VF looks very very promising.

2.5" LCD is really good for those who can shoot effectively all the way to the right for the histo, blinking highlights is ultra impt to me and hopefully more could be seen in this mode with 2.5 and 232k pixels. Individual channels RGB histograms can be effectively displayed with 2.5" too, superb. I always have problem with red channel due to the way i shoot weddings.

Hope the 1005 pixel 3D Colour Matrix II is noticeably better and not fooled much by dark clothings and stuff etc...

Not sure about auto WB and colours. Sometimes i shoot in AWB nowadays, lazy.

its usually mastered & normalised.

that volume is not the actual volume.
audio can be manipulated like how we use DI to manipulate digital pictures.

[JediForce4ever]

maybe...so i must definitely go down to try it out when it is launched....

[markccm]

it also depends on how loud u set your listening volume dun u think?

wah the sound will determine if u switch camp ah?

wow!! thats a thought...

[JediForce4ever]

if it can really gimme D70 type of mirrorslap sound at 5fps then I might consider....

i believe its the same if not better than the D70 at 5fps.

but seriously i still find it hard to believe that the sound of a mirror slap can determine which camp u gonna be in.

i have a few friends who enjoy the sound of 8fps of a D2H on MP3.

Mark, how about send JediForce4ever the mp3 of the D2h hitting 8fps and he might totally forget all about the D200 and go for the D2H instead.

Still wondering why some ppl so concerned abt mirror slap sound....does it make a difference to your pics? Louder sound = better pics?

louder sound scare away the subjects

[JediForce4ever]

if you shoting during concerts and events...it will create quite some noise...attract attention....anyway...not going to change till D200 really proves its worth....
