7D Mk ii - JacaRanda lets see it.

goodguy · Nov 5, 2014

Oh one more thing, the NX1 is supposed to be a 7D II killer, seeing these pictures I think the NX1 will have a very tough job topping that.

I am very interested to see if Nikon will come out with something that will also appeal sports/nature shooters.
The D400 has been a long joke among Nikon fans, lets see if Nikon will pick up the glove and do something about it.
Congrats again

Last night was the first time I clicked on a link to Nikon Rumors; because of a thread started here on TPF. I was a little surprised to see that they ***** and complain about what Nikon is or is not doing just like they ***** and moan about Canon on their forums. If I did not know better, I would think that each of the complainers are making big bucks in photography.

I don't often practice what I preach, but if I were talking to my 16 year old, I would tell him to get out more and use the camera he has. Spend less time debating gear.

I agree totally with that mate. We obsess to much about gear when what actually matters is results. A bad workman blames his tools and all that

However it's good to see the mk2 has significantly better performance at low ISOs. I've a lot of love for my 7D mk1 but the sensor is really showing it's age now and despite the hype I never fancied the 6D or the 70D. It was really starting to look like my only upgrade path would be a 5D or better to keep the features I want in a camera. Good to see there's another option now.

Those look really good for that high ISO! Maybe a tad underexposed? I'm not sure I'm experienced enough to say that, it's just that my histograms are much further right that that. But man, for that high of an ISO, they've done something right!

JacaRanda · Nov 5, 2014

Yes very underexposed Snerd. Just wanted to post what I had so Ron could get an idea. I did not want mess with them other than my regular LR presets.

Wow, since I've been on this forum (over 2 years), I don't think I've seen this much banter/bickering about any one single camera. And there have been a few, the D5300, 6D, 70D, D610, D750, D7200?, D7300, T4i, T5i are the ones that I can remember.

All I wanted was to see some images from one of our own with this camera, not start world war III.

Thank you JacaRanda for jumping in and taking that shrapnel. I'm sure that the Wifey, will nurse your wounds for you.

Running to Wifey "Honey, they hurt my feelings

"

Haaaa. It's all good Ron in the hood.

There was a REALLY good one of D5200 vs D7100, oh it was magical, so much c__p was thrown there is was like a mans washroom after a hockey game..............nasty :ambivalence:

I don't see any bickering or any sort of negativity in this thread. Either you are talking about another thread or I am ignoring the right folks

Hmmmm. Will a sensor with no noise at ISO 540,000 help me get an emotionally-compelling image? It's like so the TV's (er, home entertainment centers) these days - huge size, incredible resolution and clarity, and not much to watch.

@ Jacaranda - have fun with the camera, and may it help you get the shots you were trying for. You know in 5 years, looking back you might wonder how you could put up with such ancient technology... :dob:

Haaaa thank you P. I will definitely enjoy it. Maybe once Lightroom catches up with it, I will be able to hide it's flaws and post something acceptable for Facebook

Shouldn't be too long now. In the meantime, I see folks saving raws as tiffs, then editing them that way.

Yes, if I get impatient I will do that. But for now I will enjoy tinkering and learning the camera alone. Can't wait for another weekend to get out and fill up a few cards.
