6 frame RAW buffer on the D300? Huh? I typically get between 15-25 RAW frames depending on settings (RAW compression, bit depth, DR expansion and both types of NR all drop the buffer, you'd need to turn everything on to get 6-9 frames and some options are mutually exclusive or the buffer is irrelevant when they'd b used like long-exposure NR). Ditto the AF, it's VERY fast, but extremely complex and it's possible to seriously misconfigure it. Nikon does not even approach handholding with their serious cameras.
It sounds like your friend needs to either read the manual or buy Thom Hogan's e-book. -Adam On Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 10:17 AM, William Robb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I was being slightly sarcastic. > I've been pretty unsure of what to replace my cameras with when they expire > for several years now, although so far, new bodies arrive and get used. > If it makes you feel any better, my D300 user friend is already complaining > about the AF in his shiny new toy, and the 6 frame RAW buffer and the > somewhat slow write speeds (to be fair, he could buy a faster card than a > 133x, I expect). > Your point is a good one, Pentax has, for all intents, a 2 camera line, the > choices being do you buy the cheap one (which the K200 fails miserably at) > or the somewhat less cheap one. > There should be a kind of expensive one somewhere in the line up with > enhanced performance.
