    Recently I had a thought, why Nikon does not do firmware on old cameras expanding functionality? I read the article and found out what they were doing. Now they could very well blind the firmware for the 3xxx and 5xxx series. As I understand it, nothing prevents making iso steps in 1/3, flash command mode, expanding the functions of the assigned buttons. It's easier to make money on software.

      Nobody will buy software. Firstly, most owners of the 3 *** series (and partly 5 ***), roughly speaking, 'housewives' are novice amateurs. They are unlikely to follow the photon news, and, accordingly, they simply will not know about the release of the new firmware. Those who have outgrown the 3/5 *** series have already bought or will buy the next device, especially since the market for used DSLRs is now saturated.
      If the software is cheap, it is not profitable for the brand; if the software is expensive, the consumer is unlikely to buy it. Moreover, it is always interesting to hold a new piece of iron in your hands))
      If you significantly expand the functionality of the 3/5 *** series, who will buy the 7 *** series?

    I have both 3300 and 7100.
    If the functionality can be expanded firmware, you would have done it. Buying firmware is cheaper than an advanced camera. In the picture 3300 like more. The noise at 7100 .. But this is another topic. To develop software, the manufacturer has less cost, especially to cut the dough on the already sold product again. The megapixel race count is over. And carrying a light 3300 on a trip is much nicer.
    But besides software, the 7000 series also has higher mechanical characteristics, which again is not always necessary.
    The mirrors are already leaving. And quickly, just like film photos. It is still possible to cut additional profit with minimal investment. And yes, mirrorless cameras, alas, have already lost to phones. Avito fills up with DSLRs, and demand falls ...
    A counter question, why then did the firmware on D1x?

    I do not compare. I just want paid firmware on a simple camera. Especially with the autofocus correction function.)

    It looks like the new firmware needs to increase the buffer (Buffer upgrade).
    By adding memory chips.
    After that, you can shoot up to 21 frames in a series.
    Firmware version 5.01
    The menu color changes to blue-black.

    It is very difficult to view the footage on it. And what is the difficulty? Why can't it be said very difficult or not easy? In my opinion, these words are better suited.

      Well, if not for your comment, I would not have known about the unusual matrix on this camera.
      Arkady, would you like to prepare material about cameras with interchangeable lenses with an atypical matrix structure?

      “Not easy” in this case should be written together.

      Sorry :-)

    I got a D1x carcass with a battery. The battery, it seems, has been pumped out, it holds from 7,4 to 7,0 volts for some time, but the camera itself does not react when the battery is inserted, only soft clicks are heard under the power / shutter button. There is no information on the Internet, apparently, because the carcass is very old.
    Can someone suggest what's wrong? If necessary, I can disassemble and repair, but I do not want to disassemble ahead of time

      Hello Artem. Your camera is most likely absolutely fine. I myself have such a camera. For her, 7.4 volts is already an empty battery. Buy a new battery or convert the old one to 2x18650 (3.7v) batteries. As I did in my time. It works flawlessly, I'm very pleased.

        Hello. This is Artem from a past life :)
        In general, I attached the charger from the D70 with contacts to the stand. Now I just put the battery on top of the stand and the battery charges. Holds for some time, 50 frames exactly
