Put some of that citrus cleaner stuff... Oxy whatever... Orange... Can't remember the name... In a little dish and set your camera in a plastic trash bag with it for a couple of days.

Good idea, thanks. Now that you've mentioned it, I think bicarbonate of soda also neutralises odours so I'll add some of that. I might also try rice; it's known to dry out electronics, maybe it will absorb other molecules.

I got that citrus cleaner idea from an antique phonograph forum. Apparently rats love to make nests in old phonographs. Citrus cleaner is the surefire way to get rid of the stink.

d7000 to d700, worth my while?

 

[liamstrain]

IMO - no. The D700 offers very little to you. I'd wait for the next mid-tier full-frame (D600?) if you have a specific need for FF and don't want to pay for the D800. 

 

[Mr.Sneis]

OK.  I wish I could just borrow someone's FX camera and lens equivalent to see if it makes any difference to me!  Seems with the new bodies around d700 prices should be creeping lower.

The main advantage of a full frame camera is the bigger and brighter viewfinder. Manual focus is possible on FX, but it's a royal pain in the ass on DX. I'm perfectly happy with my DX kit. It does what I want a million times better than my of F2 and manual focus kit.

 

[rhythmdevils]

That's decidedly not the main advantage.  The main advantage is a bigger sensor, with more/bigger photosites.  A full frame sensor looks better than a smaller version of that same sensor in every way. 
 
However, d7000 vs d700 isn't just a bigger sensor.  The D7000 sensor is much newer.  So it's a more complicated comparison than just dx vs fx, the D700 has the advantage because of it's bigger size, but the d7000 makes up for a lot of those advantages with improved sensor tech. 
 
I have a D3 and my sister has the d7000 and I think in the end, my D3 makes better looking pictures esp in low light.  Whether it's worth it to you depends on how serious you are and what kind of images you're making, but if I had to choose between the two cameras, I would still take the D3 even with the price difference.

DX also has great low light capability and plenty of resolution. For non-pros that isn't at all an issue.

Also with full frame's your viewfinder has a 100% coverage and a 50mm lens is a 50 mm lens not x1.8 like with a crop sensor dslr

For one; APS is 1.5x or 1.6x and not 1.8. For two, for APS there are dedicated lenses, you do nto have to buy FF lenses.

Yes sorry i thought it was wrong, and i what i ment is that when you buy a Canon L lens (EF) and you put it on an EFS body then you'll have your crop, and (i know this is a nikon thread) canon doesn't make that many good lenses for efs only

Canon and Nikon are not the only lens manufacturers either.

I know i studied photography.

 

[PinoyPogiman]

i have a Nikon Coolpix S5.
 
old discontinued model.. indeed, but it still works fine even though it has quite a lot of nicks and scratches..
 
im suprised it makes some pretty nice pictures.. even though it IS my first point in shoot.. because im morely fond of Sony camcorders and Action/Helmet cameras
 
< i love making closeup Macro shots. makes Airsoft replica guns look really cool.
