All the same, I decided to go watch d-80. I hope it’s not very heavy, otherwise I’m not big)). I shot it before, but Nikon colpix but now I want something more.
Here's a photo on Colpix on the d80, what similar can come of it?https://www.instagram.com/p/BkugKtUjOt9/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=2solkqpqn70s
Irina, good afternoon. On d80, excellent photos will be obtained much more often than on the coopix and will naturally be better in quality, the matrix is several times larger. The main lens for your goals is to choose, well, to master (it’s more difficult to take a SLR)

These are all photos on colpix. He has a very good zoom. You can zoom in on distant objects or animals. Will I be able to take pictures on the d80?
In theory, it should turn out no worse. With the approach, it is only more problematic - we need long-focus so-called. telephoto lenses up to 200-300mm.
Good day. I also wanted to ask. Offer to buy rings on Nikon for macro. Is it worth buying them and what lenses do they cling to?
Cling to almost any with the appropriate bayonet mount. There are autofocus and manual. Also there are macro converters, macromechs. They are worth buying if you need to shoot with large increases. But you probably should not rush to buy everything at once. For starters, a camera with a lens.
Good day. Just bought a d200. There is firmware 1.01 and 1.00. The site Nikon is 2.01 and 2.00. Is it worth it to reflash or not? If it’s easy, give a more detailed answer (pros and cons). Bought a wife as a gift, she really wanted a good mirror. They dashed for a long time, but thanks to your site, they finally decided. And, lo and behold, we bought a d200 with a Nikor 35-70 lens, 3 batteries (+ pen), a memory card, and all at an affordable price. Now the wife is happy and completely immersed in the study of materiel.)
If your spouse is happy with everything, I think you should not reflash it.
But I personally am a fan of the latest firmware. With all the fractions ensuing from here :))
Where did you single out your spouse who is happy with everything.
You obviously need glasses, read the question again ...
So, we don’t know if there were any bugs removed, something was improved. And the might and vice versa.
Why do we ask. After all, the device is old, so someone has already encountered. Why reinvent the wheel?
Thank you.
I have a 2008 model. I did not update anything, and I do not plan. Just bombing.
By the way, there are no bugs in the D200. Eats the battery, yes. Changing the firmware is not treated, this is the property of iron. In general, the camera is awesome, especially for portraits.
And what version of firmware do you have?
Do you think I know?
If you don't have any bugs, it doesn't mean that others don't ...
What bugs do you have? Can share (if there is a big surplus).
And you could take a camera and see its firmware, but answer the person
The d200 still has an uncomfortable joystick with a central button that is very difficult to press the first time, it is critical for quickly viewing images with an increase in focus point.
1. There are release notes for any firmware, where you can find out something. But not all, of course, they write in the release notes. 2. Before upgrading, find the current firmware - it will be useful in any case. 3. Though on another camera, some “non-native” lenses stopped working for me after the next upgrade - therefore downgrade was necessary -> see item 2
Thanks to Arkady! He answered very quickly and informatively. Quote:
“The changes there are minimal, version 2.00 received an image authentication function (authentication paired with additional software on a computer), an item was added to the menu for wireless transmission via the Wireless Transmitter WT-3, and in 2.1 we fixed a glitch with a battery indicator in certain rare conditions. I would not touch anything, because the chances of getting a glitch are not worth adding these items to the menu. ”(C).
Now I need to decide - I'm not worried about what to buy as a gift (any stray will come off) or have I opened a bottomless pit for our family budget ??? :)
Still really need advice. Nowhere else to write. The prepositions are the Helios 44-2 lens for Nikon. He stood on the d5100 bu. Sell not expensive for 500g. Will it get on d80 after d5100? I will be very grateful for the help.
Give with Nikon mount adapter?
If so, then I must stand on the D80. Have you tried working with him on the d5100? If not yet, then try, if you don’t like it.
No, this person is on a more developed one. And while I'm eyeing what to buy. The option has ripened to buy d3100 I do not know what I will stop in the end ((
on ANYONE Nikon will. If you stood with an adapter already at 5100.
As a result, I settled on the d 5100 model. It seems that it should shoot well in the room and there is video, but a little more expensive. Tell me for boo with a run of 10k 6000g is this normal?
If the price is for a camera without a lens, then the space price tag is simple. It costs up to 5000 UAH. If with a lens, it already depends on which one
With a lens. But without a box and cords, disks. But with two batteries and cards. For 6900 prepositions there is also a tripod and a backpack. Warranty and documents But there is 17k mileage.
17k - small
The shutter resource on this model is around 20 thousand operations.
No, 5100 and 150.000 runs quietly, if you are lucky it will make it to 250.00. I'm 20k - that's 2 days of shooting :)
You are right, 20 thousand is too pessimistic forecast. Although more than 60 thousand. I would not have hoped. However, for the lover it is for the eyes and ears. Enough for half a life. People who buy this type of camera take one or two thousand photos a year.
Wow. Of course, I don’t take off so often. But regularly I shoot my new work and so I like to shoot nature on some days, I think at least 5 years is enough))) And what do you do when the resource ends, change the shutter or buy a new camera?
Usually I just wait for the camera to die, and then I have to see what is cheaper. Usually the shutter dies half the time, the second half the mirror mechanic dies. For example, now there are d90 with runs of almost 300.000, while I'm not worried, dies - not scary, does not die - great. The main thing is to shoot and not think about the shutter at all, do not regret it. As I have written more than once: it is better to take a shot than not to.
You have terabytes of masterpieces in the mysteries hidden, dear Arkady, not otherwise!)
As a result, we bargained for 5800. The lens kit 18-55 model d5100 shutter resource 10600 frames. Two batteries, a bag. I hope it came out ok for the price.
Nikon D5100 camera shutter resource - 100000 frames.

Ento run meant
Congratulations, normal choice. I like 5100 colors and Photoshop profiles are nice for her. I do not like profiles that match the camera. The white balance in the machine is decent. And if you attach a normal lens and adjust, the photo quality will be very, very decent. To say the least. Yes, sometimes it’s inconvenient with a small number of focus points, especially when composing a portrait in the TV range, for example, but there is live view. Autofocus is smart with my lenses, the viewfinder is dark and the zoom is not that, but you can work. The display is excellent, IMHO
Tell me please. Ordered the flash Yongnuo 560 iv for Sony. To work with two flashes I wanted to buy Yongnuo rf605 radio synchronizers. But for Sony they are not. Can they be used from Nikon or Canon?
Hardly. But I could be wrong. Based on the description, this flash has a built-in radio commander, which, at least, is able to “set fire to” a similar one. Therefore, you can, as an option, take another one of the same. Or try to set fire to the flash built into the camera, if there is one. - S1 / S2 slave flash modes are declared in the description on the website. Anyway, you can try.
Well, all I became the owner. Camera d5100 It seems a little figured out. But I understand that for home shooting you need a different lens. Can someone tell me which one is better to choose. So that it was not very expensive.
35 / 1,8G DX or 50 / 1,8G, look at your 18-55 these focal, which are convenient. But they are not very cheap.
Nikon DX 18-135 mm.
Gentlemen, men, well, no need to send a woman so far - "there is a review of this yaga on Arcadia's website," Irina, than 18-55mm does not fit. - for shooting your felted birds? Maybe try to put the camera on a tripod, tighten the aperture and then the visible flaws will go away? And if family members do not recognize themselves in the photographs - put a flash on the camera? Do not rush to buy another lens. Time will determine what for you. But be prepared for the fact that buying a camera is akin to buying a beautiful and expensive green handbag, which, as accessories, would be well suited: green boots, a good ring with a stone under an emerald and earrings with a pendant of the same plan.
I noticed that there are a lot of cameras and lenses that are offered to you. Think about why they don’t need it and why you need it. For a beginner, you can hang not only noodles on your ears, but also on the lens in each ear.
So yes, you can shoot motionless birds with a whale with a long exposure, not with your hands. But with 35 / 1,8 or 40 / 2,8 micro in the room it is much more pleasant, incl. and with a flash in the ceiling. By the way, Irina, here's another “wardrobe” detail - an external flash, from inexpensive, but quite effective - Nikon sb400, they are sold inexpensively on the secondary.
Thanks for the advice. I’m also thinking about an external flash. But it seems that at my whale the diaphragm opens only until 4.5 no longer came out to open.
Naturally, you can't open it anymore, the name of the lens indicates the maximum apertures: f / 3,5 at 18mm zoom and 5,6 at 55mm. F / 4,5 was about 30mm. You were advised to put the FA on something stationary (table / chair, do not rush to run for a tripod) so that long exposures (longer than 1/30), which are inevitable when shooting in a lack of light (in a room), pass without blur. For not very long ones, up to 1 / 10sec, a stabilizer can help. It would be good for you to read articles like “aperture”, “exposure”, etc. here.
Well, I sent it very far, for two clicks with the mouse.
Valery and Alexei.
Fixes like such shootings. But she still has to buy something early. There, she already bought the rings, and she doesn’t know which finger to put on. Let her run from whale, and time will tell what she will be interested in and what to buy to satisfy this interest .
Two clicks of the mouse are very close. But for her it is a jungle. I read Irina and I see many Susanins next to her.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Vasily I read you and laugh. (About rings that I definitely don’t know which finger to put on) Indeed, for me, much is like a jungle. Thank you, but where to poke the mouse, or rather the finger, for I read and write from the phone, by the way, I did not understand))))
So, urgently stop buying all sorts of trickery and give the wallet to her husband. The purchased rings can be used in the form of Christmas tree decorations, as a reminder to the family - as money wasted money. Felted birds do not need a bite. In the background you can put any cardboard smeared with watercolors. I dare to see a bad boke in this. Bakeshka will come by herself, with the understanding that I need it. Once I bought myself a 105mm makar. And I realized that I was not interested in bakeshka because it’s hard work. Now I carry this lens around the apartment like a cat with bacon - and I don't want to eat and leave it a pity. And as for poking a finger and God forbid - a mouse, then I have completely different priorities for this.
I am very glad for the members of the forum, and especially for Lech. You were not offered to find the book "Photography for Dummies", to buy a duplicate lens, but for the money saved, sneakers and a cheap tourist trip. You are talking on a very good site and I am sure that we will help you find yourself in photography.
Write, Irina. Write.
Thank you, but I read the articles and have already studied the three main settings. But of course you also need to read about the modes and there are also a bunch of interesting articles there. And I bought a book. Learned to make a blurred background. Well, I more precisely understood how and even something happened. Thank you for helping. And then to me there is a pretext for a consultation for 100g per hour пока I said so far that I would love to read, study and try it myself, but if I really can’t and am stuck, then I’ll think about it.
Your posts Vasily, like jokes. You read and hold on to your stomach with laughter. Well, at least someone else with a sense of humor remained on this forum. Keep it up! I ask my post also not to be taken seriously.
Thanks, I'll try first to shoot with my lens. But still I want it to be with a beautiful little bowl. Already I made an incomprehensible purchase. Macro rings (((and they don’t understand how to work. They really need to think and read a lot before buying.
Bokeshka also depends on 1) the distance from the camera to the object and 2) the distance from the object to the background. The less 1 and more 2, the more blur will be. Well, the relative aperture, of course - the larger the “hole”, the stronger the blur.
Macro rings are placed between the camera and the lens (moving it away from the focal plane). This allows you to focus on the subject from a much closer distance than without macro rings. Accordingly, this item will take up much more space on your matrix. Macro 1: 1 means, for example, that some ring with a diameter of 16 mm will fill the entire frame.
The difficulty with macro photography is that the depth of field will be very narrow. That is, let's say the front edges of the pebble on the ring will be sharp, the rest will creep into blur. It is necessary to clamp the aperture, which means that you need a lot of light, or a slow shutter speed (and a tripod, began to be). In general, macro photography is very interesting, but this is a separate topic.
The point is not that I don’t know where to put them. And the fact that the camera writes an error that the lens is not connected. And no settings work. Neither with my hands nor with the camera. That's what the seller wrote when I asked how? He's writing:
Open the diaphragm, turn off Ararat, put on the ring, turn on Ararat and focus with your hands. I haven’t tried it yet, I don’t know if it will help.
Set the M mode to disk on the top panel of the camera (where A, S, P and other things).
Yes, I did, it’s worth m mode
For home shooting the great beginner photographer that is (18-55) is enough above the roof! Do not listen to any balabol, learn to shoot better (and process if necessary)!
It's funny to read when novice amateurs (stupidly shooting on the machine) argue - Oh, the pictures are dark, you need a new lens ... (or something like that).
Offers an almost new lens. Yongnuo YN 35mm. F2.0 for Nikon. for 2600gr. Tell me please. Is this a normal lens?
I will join Valery A, start already with the good.
And there is a review of this yaga on the Arcadia website, read it, and you will immediately understand about the price.
Hello! I have a Nikon d3300. Please tell me what maximum photo size can be obtained without loss of quality, and how? Thanks.
Absolutely no loss of quality - A3. Provided that you trim very lightly during processing. If you cut about 30 percent, you can count on A4.
Tell me what kind of lens this is, it says Nikon badge "f" oblique 62 then infinity sign -1.5mm / 5ft I can't find it by the name. And the girl does not understand them. He says he lay idle for a couple of years. Can someone tell me?
You won’t find such a name, you need to know at least focal
Nothing is written on it except for that, that's how it looks. https://ibb.co/kyH7ef
It looks like we are talking about a scale of focusing distance - there is nothing, and meters and feet. Try asking the girl to read the writing under the scale window.
Was wrong, then the designation of the diameter for the filter / cover and the range of focusing distances. Judging by the min. focusing distance (1,5m) and appearance, this is a zoom telephoto of film times, it is without a focusing motor, it is unlikely to be useful to you, unless you play a little.
Dark Nikon whale shit in addition with a plastic bayonet mount. Forget it.
OK, thanks )))
It looks like 28-100 / 3,5-5,6. He needs a camera with a focus motor. Good for its extremely low price, but no better (well, except for the focal lengths) of your whale.
But no 70-300 / 4-5,6, did not look at the mines. focusing distance, but the essence is the same.
"Good for its extremely low price" - well, and extreme, we have it on Avito for 5tr. set, I at one time waited for myself 35 / 1,8 for 6tr. and 50 / 1,8G for 7.
28-100 usually 3 tr, 70-300 from 5 to 7 tr, are there many Nikon lenses cheaper?
I also bought a macro ring without a drive. I understand how to shoot with them. It writes to me on the screen that the lens is not connected and in general neither can I focus with my hands or anything else.
And what else, besides the hands, tried to focus? :) Read a couple of days the site of Arcadia before spending money.
Well, I tried in the camera))) and nothing came of it. I read it already. They just told me they fit any lens. Maybe somewhere there is a switch button so that you can configure it with your hands and I don’t know about it
Did you turn off autofocus on the lens? And the little ring of focus to focus. I didn’t have macro rings, I don’t know.
Hurry up with the macro rings. Well, I wrote to you that they are different. Now you have to use manual focus. Try putting a lens with rings on the camera, looking into the viewfinder, to focus closer or move the camera away from the subject. In general, you should not buy equipment at random, even if you do not understand a bit what is what and why.
It's right. Hurried up the notonies were cheap, so I was tempted (((As described above, now they are only put on my ears)))) And when you wrote to me to read. It was already late. I read that. Now I realized that I need such that they transmit data to the lens.
Should I buy these lenses? Are they worn on top of the lens one wide-angle another macro? Give for 600 gr
https://ibb.co/mQMan0
Do not buy. Such lenses may not fit your lens and, in any case, greatly degrade image quality.
OK, thanks
Good day. Help me understand which is better, more megapixels in the nikon d810 but the pixel itself is smaller, or 24 megapixels in the nikon d750, but the pixel size is larger. Interested in practical conclusions, not theoretical calculations.
A large pixel gives better color reproduction. This is important for portraits, especially in the shadow parts. Skin color looks natural and not green or bright orange. For landscapes or architecture, the color in the shadows is on the drum, in extreme cases, it is desaturated in Photoshop.
The d750 has less noise due to the larger pixel at ISO 2500-3200.
And yes, if you don’t understand why such a resolution is for the d810, then you don’t need it.
Good evening. We have rain all day. And so I wanted to take pictures a little. And now I train "on cats", or rather a cat

What you should pay attention to?
In the third photo of the composition, neither to the village nor to the city from the left are still cacti. Well, for the experiment in hand-to-hand play with white balance.
With white balance it's easier, IMHO, to play with RAVs in the editors - with help. gray point or other ways. At the same time, light, contrast, sharpness. No program - download ViewNX from Nikon's site.
There is Photoshop, it is suitable for this. I slightly processed a couple of photos. Where are the cacti and drops on the glass. But in jpg format. Apparently you need to accustom to rav. Not yet familiar.
Who cares?
Thank you
on the meaningfulness of the photography process.
if you shoot just to click the shutter, then you should erase immediately after shooting, and if to show, then put a little more meaning or at least the composition into the photo.
Lynx - Golden words!
Good afternoon! I choose a camera! I think between d850 and d810! What do you recommend? Is there any sense in d850?
Judging by the tests and reviews and live photos, the d850 is worth its money.
Good day. Tell me why the battery packs are very different prices?
because the secondary is of different greed owners and different producers
Good time of day pros and advanced photo lovers. I want to ask you a question: what, you say for a bunch of Nikon D3000 and Nikon N AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm 1: 4G ED VR SWM IF Aspherical Nano Crystal Coat. Nikon D3000 already have. Please clear my doubts. Thanks in advance
What can I say? Cool. I wish the carcass would remove three zeros. Is there enough viewing angle?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove (the manufacturer did not foresee) just kidding. I would like to change the carcass. And I want a lens. All funds are not enough. One thing. The thought was either Nikon D610 or 750. But as long as you collect at 750, it will become obsolete. (Rumors)
Why buy anything at all, it will still become obsolete.
I came up with a specific question, get advice, and I can also get clever in Lech.
Even if the d750 gets old, it will not stop shooting well (with the hands and experience of a photographer). In terms of its characteristics such as DD or noise at high ISO, compared to the d810 / d850, the story is generally ambiguous. "Obsolescence" of the camera and EOL (removal from the pr-va) are two different things. Technically, the d750 is an excellent camera and its capabilities will last for a long time.
Konstantin, good afternoon. You don’t have to worry about obsolescence, there are so-called obsolete cameras, but they are the favorites of photographers because of the photos that they give out. The main thing is that you figured out the budget: spend less on a carcass than on glass. On the issue, I support the Lynx's comment (over time, take an even more authentic fix, for example 85mm). Fixes will teach you to walk and compose, look for a frame, plus because of your aperture you can work at dusk, and of course the bokeh will be richer.
At the expense of obsolescence of the camera, I so figuratively said not literally. I’m not doing photography professionally for myself, but for a long time, so I'm not a beginner. And, I need advice, in my doubts, to make the right choice. I’ll try to formulate it again. I have a Nikon d3000 with a whale lens, as well as a Nikon 50mm f / 1.8G AF-S Nikkor, Nikon Speedlight SB-700. Nikon d3000 is very noisy, 200 ISO and more and more I do not rise. It turns out only daytime shots and whether with a flash. And, the thought is, to take Nikon d610 + N AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm 1: 4G or Nikon d750 nothing remains on the glass (Financially limited), i.e. a senior citizen. I bow to the first option. Here is my problem I am trying to solve.
24mm on the crop is a bit narrow for a versatile zoom.
tolerant, but narrow. For old man 3000 it’s better to take a banal 35 / 1,8G and do not suffer from perverts. Or, if Elsie needs to zoom, then find something like sigma 16-55 or Nikon 18-70.
24-120 on the three thousandth will not open, only an extra overpayment will be.
to suffer
Hello! Probably, I won't be the first to ask: no one has a program for remap of “hot” pixels on the d7000? Does it exist at all? In those service archives, with "viruses" Yu that walk the network, there are many models, 7000 - no! On the English-language forum, people asked the same, but the answers lead to Chinese sites and fade there)).
Maybe, with firmware, the camera itself will remap (I’m not the last, but not the first)?
Yes, I know, you can hammer profiles into editors, and not steam, but it's more pleasant when they are stupidly absent.
Pentax, in this sense, well done, the program is built into the carcass. Nikon are scoundrels asking for money, and after all, you can count ss on your fingers In Chelyabinsk, for example, from 10 private workshops, no one "knows how", but there is business for 5 minutes.
Use capture One. there this thing is by default available, if I do not confuse.
Thanks, I will take a look. But I want a service program. To many others they are!
Hello everyone! Has anyone used a Sigma 16mm f / 1.4 DC DN Lens? If yes, share your impressions
Good evening. Can someone tell me what the NEF file is for me taking photographs makes duplicates one jpg and the second is the same NEF frame?
And they wrote that they read the site :( This is the name of Nikon RAW file.
I haven’t read everything yet))) I haven’t come to this yet)))
This is your “photo quality” setting, “Raw + Jpeg” is set there.
Therefore, with each shot, it creates a pair: rav + jeep.
Just set "Jpeg" to the size you need (S, M, or L) and quality (basic, normal or high).
I was told that with RAV the quality is better. I jpg of course more familiar in processing. But so far I have not understood the difference.
It’s not that the quality is better (maybe the camera can be good, “high quality”), but only RAV you are more accessible, “more flexible” than the same ones in editing - in terms of getting light from the shadows, changing the color balance, etc. Do not see the difference - do with the same pegs.
Hello! Please advise on the following situation. The family has a permanent Nikon D5200, in addition, from time to time, out of love for the old technique, I get age-old Nikons (there were 70s, 80, 200) and different glasses. Now, before the vacation, I again wanted to buy some old man and a couple of glasses, and then there was the opportunity for a good price to buy an Olympus E3 with a pair of lenses and a flash. If anyone came across, tell me, does it make sense to take this device, which Nikon it roughly corresponds to, will there be a big difference in the pictures, or is it better to take a d200 and a couple of glasses? Thank you in advance.
On Olympus there is a double crop matrix, so do not look for a direct analogue from Nikon. IMHO, d200 or d80 will give a more interesting picture.
If for the sake of curiosity and for a vacation - take a try. If you don't like it, sell it after the vacation. But it seems to me that m4 / 3 at flea markets such as Avito do not enjoy the same respect and demand as ordinary cannon or Nikon crops.
Spraying funds. Stay on Nikon. On vacation, take what you have voiced, plus a tripod.
Thank you very much!
