internal focus vs external focus

no much different in term of performance other than closer focus range for IF right?
*
not much different, just external focus some of the lens focus barrel will turn, will extend / retract , focusing ring will turn

IF totally inside.

that means petal hood cannot be used right?

according to nikon website, they say IF can get closer focus distance compare to non-IF hmm.gif

depends on model lah smile.gif
take a look at this
http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/60mm-afd-vs-afs.htm

i dont know why, but people say petal hood only for wide angle and IF lens, if non-IF where front element will rotate while focus then need to use round hood hmm.gif

i think is because the hood will rotate, so the shorter petal might facing top and bottom, which might cause problem while going wider angle and sunlight on top of the lens might shine inside causing glare because the shorter petal facing upward? hmm.gif
*
AFAIK there are no official lens equip with petal hood which the lens rotate while focusing.

every lens has it limit on their hood, if you try to extend the hood length it might appear vignetting
manufacturer will optimise the length and usage for you.

Er sorry, not sure if I should post here. Is anyone using P300?

Was just wondering if its normal to have the batt indication as full batt, and it just died after a few shots? I admit I didn't charge la, but there isn't any low batt indication one meh? sleep.gif

The ring cannot be that loose... its quite firm actually. My friend's 70200 very loose... and it will creep ._.

Not that lossy until one finger can turn i assume.
Yeah at least I cant turn it using one finger haha

D4 sample image comparison
http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/03/03/nikond4studiosamples

I'm disappointed with D4's high iso performance.
it's only slightly better than D3s in my eyes. Far from "one stop better" claimed by Nikon. doh.gif

Look at 5dmk3 samples, really impressive.
tide has turned toward the other side perhaps.
*
Haha, just playing around with the website
D4 and D3s shows merely no difference in there ?
I only see different crop size because D4 has higher mp thats all.

if D4 is targetted at sporting pros, the most they will go is ISO3200 with a f/4 lens.
most of the time will be at ISO1600 or lower depending on condition with their f/2.8 lens.
so i would think for them the high ISO is already excellent at those settings.
what D4 offers them tho, is 10FPS at RAW with no noticeable loss in speed due to its 100 shot RAW buffer.
and, it can still AF with lenses f/8 and slower, meaning they can stick on a 2x TC in front of their 200-400 f/4, and get a 400-800 f/8 that can still AF...no current body right now is able to do this.
*
very direct head to head competition with the canon top line,
but to choose which brand I think is up to his/her own.

summore this year olympic sure many sports photogs prepare to brush up their gear brows.gif

@buyersellers
I'd think you are an advanced user who own a D3x
D800 would be more suitable for you, no ?

Still thinking, my choice is either D4. D800 or keep my D3x. Although the newer FX come with latest processor, I m still wondering, the focusing is it as fast as the previous FX? as someone told me the newer processor might not be as good as the old FX
*
D4 definitely targeting sports photographer. but better AF than the previous D3/D3s or not, no clear answer
heck even AF on D3 also very good already. tongue.gif

I think RM400+ to RM500... no idea, why not go for 50mm 1.8G instead, with SWM and metal bayonet. Come with Lens hood and pouch bag, RM689 only. silent motor, fast focusing.
