Out of all the programs I have used with the D800 raws photomatix struggles the most. I don;t see a big difference with LR4 or photoshop but photomatix really takes a long time to load the raws. I would say it took maybe a minute before with the D700, but now with the D800 I think it takes over...
thanks, I waited for the streaks, I like it and think it adds something different to the scene. I really hate the size limits here. How do you post the pics so they link back to flickr?
Here's a few shots from the past week. I just got the D800 and have been really enjoying it. All of these are shot with it
1. 5 exp photomatix, Lake Dillon Colorado
2. 5 exp photomatix, Wetlands Frisco, CO
3. 2 exp manual blend, Same shot but this is a 2 exp manual blend not sure which I...
Well you said the HDR file would be 500MB this is plain wrong and no matter if its 9exp or 3 exp the output file will typically be about the same size.
Also thats if someone is shooting uncompressed RAW which is 70MB. I believe most including myself will shoot lossles compressed which comes in...
How i work qwith this especially in dark places is to find a good focus and then switch to manual focus so it won't hunt and will stay at your desired focus
Rotanimod - Where do you see the D800 only does 7 frames? I keep seeing people say this, but on the nikon website it says exposure bracketing is 2-9 frames at up to 1ev(same as the D700)
I believe the D800 is rated for about 14 stops as well of DR.
Bottomline both these cameras are going to be amazing for HDR and any other type of photography.
HDR shouldnt be the subject that makes your decision.
YOu should ask yourself if you need really high ISO performance and fast FPS...
You should worry about softness in images. You can do almost anything in photoshop but the better you can get an image SOOC the better the image wil likely be and the cleaner the HDR will be
I'm not too worried about Moire and of course the D800 is going to be great,but for my needs I prefer the D800E. I have been waiting for a model like this for awhile that didn't cost 10k. They are using a filter system to cancel out the AA as you said but it will be the same as none at all. This...
A couple more features that I know the D800 has but I am not sure if the D4 has
The D800/E has a dedicated button for bracketing. The D800/E has in camera HDR. It can take 2 shots upto 3 stops apart and blend thme in camera. Now you could take 2-3 HDR images and then run these in a HDR...
