This could probably be fixed by updating the firmware, I guess....

btw, you can buy a WIFI SDcard and your camera will have wifi cpabilities- not a big deal.

That's what Nikon is targeting now, D3200 better than D5100, then D5200 better than D7000, then D7100/7200 or D8000 take over D300s as top range semi pro Dx body

there are rumours who believe the D300s replacement to be an FX entry level, something similair to the D700 capabilities but with updated tech.
when the D800 came out, I am very sure now that the D300s replacement wiil be an FX body, else i will be eating my sdcards for dinner.....

if you are gonna get both eventually, then the question now is which one will benefit you first before getting the other. My advise
get the 35mm if you are doing more general photography atm
get the 85mm if you do more portrait, headshots small groups, long distance shots.

so which one is your priority, get the lens that fulfils that priority
one more for the road, with the 35mm you can always crop, with the 85mm bokeh can't be reproduce

happpy soul searching bro!

p.s. 35mm f/1.4 bokeh is comparable with the 85mm.......hahaha

on my d300s, i'd say its about 99.9% acccurate, only 0.1% would be operator error, i.e. when i focus on my son running towards me, if i dont pan fast enough, camera will capture regardless of subject in focus,for portraits, im using a dynamic 21 point AFsetting without AF tracking on, for non moving subject its 100% accurate, i use this setting for a faster AF speed

When i switch to sports mode, -full 3D matrix, 51 points AF continous focuing, its dead accurate if it locks in a moving subject.

yes, rumours are that there will be a replacement by this year, maybe april like the D3200, maybe sept with the D7100, who knows......
if you can wait why not, but if you are passionate about photograp, then getting one now and go thru all the options and settings available would be a very interesting journey. E.g. my WB now i use K values based on the lighting available, most use grey card, i use my own instinct and judgement, the results can be very interesting at times

As per Jchue

no links, just do a general search on google

you can use a greycard for PP, i haven't done this as i prefer tweak on camera rather than PP
Take a picture of the greycard in the photo, use that setting as a base to change your WB settings on your RAW photos.

yes correct, the more advance body has PRE settings for individual storage of WB settings, this saves 1 step if you do alot of PP, and also if you take shots at the same places, its a great feature to have, if you know how to use it

Pleae give more info of your plans and thoughts, your statement is too generalised for good constructive advise from the seniors here

why do you need an FX body?
why do you need a 24-70mm?

lens first - IMHO it would have been pressumed that you have already mastered the current lenses you have, FX lens are larger, heavier, and very likely have greater resolutions, that will probably enhance any mistakes( is this a correct term to use?) you have on your current body. it will take some tme getting use to the newer lens, and when you are ready for the body upgrade, you will only need to worry about the functions of the newer camera and not the technique part.....i dunno if that makes any sense, any care to explain it in other words?

body first - you already have a basic FX lens you plan to use, your future upgrade will be a higher spec lens, and you need time to get used to the camera functions and layout - if you shoot alot of sports n high speed stuff, you will need to know the camera like the back of your palms......

get the GGS from a reputable source, i must say the packing is quite impressive too

the 18-105mm is already a good walkabout lens, what is that you find limiting with your current zoom?
if you need more light, the 50mm f1.8G is a good companion

Nikon is stepping up the DSLR market, the D3200 will takeover D5100 place, the D5200 will takeover D7000 place and the new D7100/7200 will take over as top DX body. The D300s however will come in as entry level FX.
I believe the D300s replacement will be another hot seller as the D800 as many DX shooters are upgrading to FX and the D800 is way out of reach for the normal enthuthiast-some jump over to other brands due to this.
My take is a 16/18mp sensor, inheret all of the good stuff from the D700

btw statement above is just a rumour from somewhere I read......

When I first started to use manual focus ring eons back, my left hand held the lens, my other 2 other fingers were placed at the (my ex F3 ) the DOF preview and exposure lock button, i still use this method to hold my dslr
Nikon has consistently placed the buttons in a practical manner and for some who have been using Nikon bodies all this time will find it familair

There is no wrong or right to hold a camera, as long as you are comfortable and take good pictures

Agito, I hope you not taking a swipe/making fun at the Less Fortunate people......

if you can choose 2 lens it would be
12-24mm
18-200mm

if just 1 lens, then 12-24mm, then crop the pictures since you have the 16mp sensor

but my suggestion would be the 16-85mm, you wont regret it

he's on a DX, 70-200mm he will have to stand on his chair to get a photo of the food, and 20 ft away or more to get full portrait pic ! but on FX its a different story.......

needs to be calibrated once a year, esp if you keep at the lower end, i think you need to get a digital meter and compare it, if your analog once has an adjustable screw, just get it calibrated with the digital one, other than that, google is your friend

What's the advise for getting a photo printer, use will be mainly for work/client/presentation, max i'd print would be an A3 size but unlikely it will be on a routine basis. budget <rm1k

I'd buy a Nikon if there was one.......

That's why we wanna try and get a TT even a small one done and have our idol MR IFER to comeby and guide us all......
now waiting for that Setapak TT......

d300/D300s ROCKS...........!!!
