Is that the actual D700 image ratio? I didn't know it's more squarish.

3:2 is full-frame.

 

[dj_mocok]

I might be wrong but that pic doesn't look like a 3:2 to me

 

[Iron_Dreamer]

Naw, it was cropped a little, and it's still silly wide. Here's an uncropped one at 12mm for ya!

Looks like distortion is much more apparent on FX camera. I wonder if the 14-24mm Nikon is much better distortion wise (when used with an FF cam)

 

[vagarach]

Yeah that's what I was reading on Ken Rockwell's site, you have to accept more distortion in the corners on FX.

It looks like that little t-shirt man has been invaded by a pack of lummoxes. I doubt if he has their size.

Worse, actually (though a lot better in vignetting). The 12-24 Sigma is well known for having the lowest distortion of UWA zooms. Check out slrgear.com, they have reviews of both lenses on FF.

Haha, yeah, it is kinda funny in that regard. Though not all of the size discrepancy is perspective distortion, he wasn't exactly the biggest dude around to begin with

I just got back a couple of Velvia 100 rolls from NCPS, and they turned out quite well. The scans are brilliantly dynamic and the raw slides even more so. Here are some examples:

I used a Nikon FM and either a 35mm or 85mm lens for these shots.

Hi guys, I recently got a Fuji S5. Is it better to shoot in 6MP or 12?

And what programs should I use to edit/workflow tips?

 

[bloodydoorknob]

Hello nikon-fiers, I finally got a d90 after my d300 died from a severe drop ... I can finally get back to taking pictures

I'm also selling an excellent F100 in the F/S forums if any of you are interested.

 

[Iron_Dreamer]

That must have been one heck of a drop to kill a D300. I don't want to imagine what became of the lens

Congratulations, it won't disappoint you unless you shoot burst.
I would go for 12MP if I were you. But I can't remember the reason why.

For workflow, not sure because I don't batch edit my pictures.

Very nice, I've been shooting with mine for a little over a year now. Excellent out of camera JPGs.

From what I understand, if you shoot JPEG then 12MP is the way to go, "the 12mp image is slightly better at rendering detail than you'd expect from taking a 6mp image and using traditional interpolation routines." (-http://bythom.com/s5review.htm)

I shoot RAW just in case I need to perform some WB/exposure tweaks, I use Aperture and edit in CS3. I used to use Adobe Camera Raw which I think allowed a bit more range in terms of exposure. If you set DR at 400% the RAW files are around 20-30MB, so make sure you have some storage space

I must confess the latest HD footage from prepro Canon 7D has me contemplating defecting.

But then I remember how much I dislike the ergonomics of Canon DSLR's, and the fact that I rarely carry any DSLR everywhere I go. Likely my future digicam funds will go towards a Panasonic GF1 since I'll most likely carry it everywhere I go. The best camera in the world is useless if you don't have it with you.
