Hi WAP007.
The advice you got from your local photography shop sounds jumbled, but there is a valid point at the heart of it, and it's to do with camera aspect ratios, which is the ratio of the...

Actually, that four-star rating for the D800 was a production error - apologies for that. If you check the comparison table on the following page (page 110, issue 15) you'll see that the D800 gets...

There's no problem here! Sorry about the momentary drop from 132 pages. It was a budgetary decision from on high at the end of the financial year and we're back up to 132 pages from issue 13 onwards....

This does happen very occasionally if the link between the high-resolution image and the document is lost during printing - sorry about that. RL

You'll need a macro lens to focus close enough and a tripod to keep the camera steady. DX for FX won't matter because either will offer more resolution than the original slide. RL

Can I just make a point about your last remark, that the D800 requires top quality glass and technique?

I think reviewers have said these things without realising how they sound when taken out of...

I won't make any comments about Canon vs Nikon lenses, but I'm interested in this 'modification' needed for the 24mm PC-E before it can be used for landscape work? I've used them a number of times...

I have an 18-70mm, an 18-55 and a 55-200 but I've not yet checked them against each other. We are thinking about whether focal length measurement should be incorporated into in our lens tests but...

The custom AF priority settings quickly get confusing. On the D7000 you set the priority in both AF-S and AF-C modes independently, so it is possible that you've adjusted the setting in one but...

I don't know if you're planning on using bounce flash or straight, on-camera flash, but if it's the latter I'd suggest P mode and let the camera work out the flash exposure. Autofocus is a good idea,...

Lens tests

Some good points have been made here and they highlight issues to do with lens testing generally. We do find that subjective tests (what the reviewer says about real-world images) and lab test...

I don't like the tiny sensor size. 1/2.3-inch might be all right for point-and-shoot cameras, but not a serious model for enthusiasts. Also, that f/1.8 lens drops to f/4.9 at full zoom. Disappointing.

Just to correct one point, the D800e is a special variant for high-resolution studio photography. I think the model you're referring to is the regular D800. Nikon (officially) says the D700 and D3x...

Adobe DNG converter

markgozz is right, your best solution is Adobe's free DNG converter. DNG files are RAW files just like the originals, but they will work with older versions of Elements and Photoshop. Here's the...

Annoying, isn't it? You end up having to upgrade your version of Photoshop to accomodate new cameras. Like OldBoy says, though, your best bet is to download Adobe's free DNG converter. This will take...

Photoshop coverage

Like most other mags, we do feature Photoshop and Elements pretty much exclusively. It's not ideal, but there are two reasons:
