Hi guys. Is this discussion thread only for Nikon DSLRs? What about Nikon high-end compacts like the P7100 and P7700?

Got my D600 2 days ago. It seems to have this problem http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3290303

Shutter count at 196, no dust as yet.

Bought mine from Foto Miami, any idea if they allow 7 days exchange?

Hi there pal. I am planning to buy a Nikon from Foto Miami. How is the customer service and after-sales service over there? I know that one is a Nikon authorised retailer...

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Ohh I see. Can a camera with a maximum f/number of 2.8 on the wide-angle range create Bokeh effects? If you insist to know, I am talking about the P7100 here, which I am planning to purchase later this month.

Well, yeah the service is pretty good I think. The sales person knows about camera so she can answer you most, if not all, the questions you asks her. Their price is very good.

Went back yesterday about my D600 problem. They said the problem wouldn't be too much of a problem laugh.gif if anything should happen I just have to sent my camera to Nikon and they should provide me with free servicing.

Ahh... I see. I know there are two chaps in LYN who are from Foto Miami. digitalfm14 and Kelik.

Any idea from whom you bought your camera?

You can send your D600 to the Nikon Centre in Times Square. They do have a service and repair centre over there. icon_rolleyes.gif

only on very close up shots.
if not mistaken, the f/2.8 of P7100 equivalent on full frame is around f/11, since its still a small sensor.
in short, dont bother about bokeh and go shoot.

Yep, that's the one. Beside KFC right?

Honestly, their price really is gooding. Cheaper than other retailers by at least RM50.

Ohh I am in no way related to Foto Miami. Just sharing what I have found during my month long price survey.

thanks for looking... notworthy.gif

i use as large aperture as i can since not much difference in DOF due to small sensor, which depends on the focal length ranging from 3.5-5.6, ISO 1600 and above (i think, some are ISO2000-3200) for most shots except those purposely put under the bright lamp. very dim lighting like average bistro, not like disco though those almost pitch black lol... laugh.gif

you'll have to take the shutter speed into consideration. with VR lens like the 10mm-30mm kit lens i use for the V1, i can shoot comfortably at 1/20 hand held and lower if brace on table/sofa/etc. if no VR will be different story.

if you mean increase the aperture size means smaller number beyond the spec, no. if you mean increase the number means smaller aperture, then depends on which camera/lens. DSLR lens may or may not have manual aperture ring on lens, most mirrorless lens doesn't have aperture ring, and 99.9% compact cameras doesn't have aperture ring. those that doesn't have manual aperture ring, there're always way to set the aperture via menu or dial control.

It's my pleasure to be able to enjoy such beautiful photos, man! Can tell us more about the settings for each photo? blush.gif

For low light shots, people want to shoot at as low an ISO speed as possible, right, in order to minimise noise? Shutter speed as slow as possible so that it allows more light to enter into the lens?

I am a newbie in photography... Newbie as in 99% fresh, apa pun tak tau. laugh.gif The 1% is gained via self-reading from camera reviews, photography blogs, bla bla bla... sweat.gif

All I have ever used is a compact point and shoot. 100% automatic.

He must have shot in RAW format, ehh? Can JPEG produce such qualities?

jpeg/raw differences is during editing, like if its too bright, RAW can recover back more details then JPEG.

in terms of IQ, its still the same. if u take 1 scene using raw & jpeg at neutral setting then it will look exactly the same
think of raw/jpeg as a piece of meat. raw is raw meat, jpeg is cooked meat. but essentially both are still the same piece of meat. the only difference is how it was processed

Fulamak!!! Your raw meat vs cooked meat analogy really thumbup.gif man! I salute you.

Usually after shooting in RAW, how do we process the files? By using Photoshop? Can any gurus here enlighten me a bit? blush.gif

any picture editing software that support nikon RAW format.
Photoshop is one of it.
another popular is lightroom,
new body, due to high pixel count.

and not sure is me or what. i know you purposely do this for increasing post count by not stacking all replies into 1 post. whistling.gif

Ohh, we can do it in Photoshop. That's nice... biggrin.gif
