There are three main things I really wish were improved in my D700:
1. An option for more MPs. I'm terrible at composing on the spot and do much better when playing around in Photoshop afterwards. Having more MPs would let me crop more (I sometimes crop 2/3 of an image out).
2. 100% what you see in the view finder is what shows up in the final image, not 95%, not 97% - 100%.
3. Better low light handling.
The one extra feature I think I'd like to see: 16-bit color. That would give 64 times more colors. I'm just not sure most printers or monitors would really be able to show the difference.
Nikon D700II
I think Nikon needs to re-introduce a refreshed version of the D700. Maybe a bit smaller and lighter, maybe stripped just a bit to shave the price, but essentially the same camera—no extra features or functionality, same controls in the same places, just whatever updates would bring its funct...
"As a thought experiment, let's imagine an ideal, noiseless monochrome sensor that converts each incoming photon to a photoelectron, and where each pixel can hold 1000 photoelectrons. Then its dynamic range is 1000:1 because the smallest signal it can record is one electron and the largest is 1000."
Picking a nit here, isn't the smallest signal zero electrons?
Dynamic Range Is Not Exposure Range! Part I
By Ctein OK, here I go tilting at windmills again. It's just that this one bugs me. Well, they all bug me. Well, but this time I'm really justified being bugged. Yeah, but I always think that. Never mind. I've got the donkey, I've got the lance, and I'm riding with both. For truth, justice, a...
