Just picking up the MBP, £1158 later..
A day of reinstalling everything then.

Aren't Sony No.2 already? I thought I'd read somewhere that they've leap frogged Nikon but knowing me I could be wrong
Yeah, ideally every camera should upgrade all departments with each incarnation, I'm just not sure that the D750 successor will have more MPs as I'm not sure which sensor they'd use. I'm not aware of a Nikony 30mp sensor so they'd probably have to use the 36mp from the D810 I'd have thought, or an incarnation of it anyway.
I'm waiting to see if the D850 has any recalls, still early days yet. Did the D810 have any?
Sony claimed No.2 position for Full Frame cameras, in America, for a one month period. I don't think there have been any other claims by Sony of being No.2.Aren't Sony No.2 already? I thought I'd read somewhere that they've leap frogged Nikon but knowing me I could be wrong
Sometimes MP upgrades are for the sake of it though. As I commented above ... I think Nikon are in a bit of a hole when it comes to sensors as they have to either rely on Sony or find themselves another manufacturing partner.Yeah, ideally every camera should upgrade all departments with each incarnation, I'm just not sure that the D750 successor will have more MPs as I'm not sure which sensor they'd use.

No, unfortunately the logic board and the new touchpad made it too expensive for them. They replaced those two items, the SSD as it's part of the board and the top cover, so pretty much new again.
Just finished installing from a time machine backup, seems a better reinstall than when I migrated over from my last Mac, even CC seems to be working as it should.
That’s painful How old is it?Just picking up the MBP, £1158 later..

Yes the D810 had a recall ... ironically the one camera that hasn't had a recall (as far as I can see) is the D610.

Just remembered, didn't you spill something on it so it's not covered by warranty?March this year. At least it's fixed, just got to wait for the insurance to sort. But, will be £250 out of pocket with the excess and fuel etc.

Yeah that proper sucks. Fingers crossed it’s as good as newYup, mug of tea.
Canikon are both lagging behind in video, the difference is Canon is improving usability with a touch screen and OSPDAF, so at least they are doing something,
The point is manufacturers are updating their AF, nobody wants a new camera without any updates. Canon 6d2 has 45 cross type AF points, Sony has gotten to the stage where its as good if not better than the competition. Are you suggesting Nikon shouldn't bother?
Yes, reliability is a problem for Nikon, pretty much every modern Nikon dslr has had a recall for main components like AF and shutter, then theres battery recalls.
Have you not noticed that everyone is increasing megapixels? Its a good thing, computers are more powerful, memory is cheaper, sensors can be higher MP than last gen without any IQ penalties.
It would be silly to suggest Nikon not make these improvements to a 3 1/2 yr old camera at refresh, Sony will soon become No.2 because Canikon haven't been innovating enough.
Shouldn't read the df forum thenYup, mug of tea.
I'm not a fan of touchscreens on cameras either, I turn mine off on my EM1. Nice for those that want them though. Out if interest can you turn the touchscreen function off on Nikon as well?I really don't find touch screen any help at all. I had one when i had a canon 70d and just found it annoying. What's wrong with buttons? What can't you do and why is it any better?
All you ask for is in the nikon d850, the improvement made will trickle down and some will be available on the next nikon d750.

then theres battery recalls
Separate to the D500 battery problem there was a recall for potential overheating and short circuiting of batteries (USA link but there was a UK version too)Wouldn't count that as a recall. The D500 'ate' the older EL-15 so Nikon offered to replace the older ones with newer ones FoC.
Do you use a phone with buttons?
Of course I know that.
I also find that I accidentally activate functions and move the focus point with touchscreens on cameras.Yes i do. But mainly because i don't want internet, facebook and the like on my phone. I enjoy having a week of battery life. Not only that but it doesn't cost me an arm to get a new phone.
I think on a camera buttons and dials are way better that swipping a screen.

Big noseBit unsure how you're doing this.
Left eye to the viewfinder too?Big nose
YepLeft eye to the viewfinder too?
Same problem here. (Including the big nose...)
Can't you get arrested for thatI bottled it last year and flashed Santa.

I tied the snow board to the back of my landrover and drove round the empty works carpark with the 7 year old on. Was brilliant fun. Had the other half sitting in the boot with the boot open being safety advisor and videoing it.Good day in the snow today with the girls..

Nice images, first one is a belterGood day in the snow today with the girls..
You sure you’re in central England? I’m in the Midlands and we’re about 7” deep in it!Jealous of all your snow pictures. Bugger all snow here in central england.
So i approached a couple of people on purple port. Got her rates and thought if i got another photographer to come along it would split the cost for us both... so asked if she minded... "that's fine, but i'll charge both photographers the same rates"... no discount... what's that about? Surely it's easy money!
Sorry. more north eastYou sure you’re in central England? I’m in the Midlands and we’re about 7” deep in it!
Agreed, cheers... just need to dive into the deep end really.Never had that before. Myself and my mate do a few model shoots a year in my little home studio and never pay "double bubble". We usually get local models, and the average charge is £20 per hour. So we usually do a 2 hour session and bung her a few quid for petrol, so £25 each all in.
No need to be nervous about it Mark. After all, you are paying her for her services and not under any pressure to produce amazing images for her. It's not a TFP shoot, so no stress.
