i just now put D800 raw file in my PC. can edit smoothly like my old rig with my D70s raw file what...

That's nice to hear
Still smooth after you have put in a lot of Spot Removal? It tends to get really laggy in group shots which requires alot of pimple healing for me

since got ppl ask about canon in nikon tered...canon fanboy to the rescue I hope I don't get ban here
check out the live view focus

agree but don't you find it funny that people buy a dslr for video when there are proper video cams around?

Dslr for video is quite a good option as u can shoot photos at the same time..anyway I din meant to say 70d is not as good as d7100.. give me either one i will be happy haha

how do you define proper video camera?

its a bonus features and the live view can be use for stills and not just video...

Ah but my point is Canon's marketing is telling you that their dslr does video's very well. When it should be take fantastic pictures with a bonus of some video making.

Guess that is why I choose Nikon. Camera for pictures with a bonus of video (not saying that canon can't take good pictures too).

Proper video camera would be \http://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/professional-camcorders.asp

Ya I think the tlitable screen really useful for me.

Of course FF cannot compare to crop, totally different things.
Idk I have a feeling that Smaller crop sensor DSLR easier to capture the moments, than compared to holding Big FF DSLR or is it just me

About vari angle screen, I don think any nikon d5100 or canon user 600d 650d 60d complain about it, and I believe those vari screen isnt like those made in china quality, if u ever try, u will know nowaday nikon canon vari screen is very tough , solid and wont really break easily, so far I never heard any problem about it.

Dslr for video , u can have more lenses to choose and shoot, and nowaday alot of advertisment , wedding , also done by dslr , keda.Z, Cm leung , +M also using dslr to shoot video, no matter sony, nikon, canon.

Not to mention, spending so much on camcorder just for video? Why not I just settle down with dslr? I can do landscape shoot, portrait, off camera flash yet shoot video, can camcorder done this?

With dslr u can play with the dof, lens with f1.2, f1.4, f1.8 can be done by camcorder?


Would u bring such big camcorder to travel or rather choose dslr?

owh that one ...I didn't do that, I just slide the slider in camera raw plugin in cs6

those proper camera prices range from 1k-30k USD bear in mind that the more affordable ones cant change lenses and does not really do high DOF shots. you can get a video capable dlsr with a nifty fifty and create nice bokehlicious video for under 1k USD eg a Nikon D3200+50 1.8D

To be honest I don't remember... I didn't buy new GC for this PC, using my old 4870 GS, should be 1GB vRAM.

Tried, but no significant differences. My OS installed on SSD, and my virtual memory is on SSD as well, but rarely got usage since I have 16GB RAM.

gc problem

I used LR and PS on my friend's system, similar to mine but he has a GTX280. Also same feel ._. You sure GC plays a role here?

i dont think is gc problem, processor play more role

Yea most definitely proc!

I need to change my proc soon!! So annoying to edit raw d800 files ><

tell me why those graphic designer need quadro system then ?
GTX 280 quite old card right ?

If you're referring to CGI etc, I agree. But we are now talking about Lightroom.

*not sure how old is the GTX280, but should be higher end than my HD4870.
