[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]As to the D800E, the possibility of the moire problem is the same as seen in the Leica Digitals, both M's and the DMR, and I think, all medium format cameras, this has never been a big deal in any of my shooting with the M8 or R8DMR. But my thing is, why do they charge extra to leave this filter out? Seems to me this would be a cost savings. I would buy one if I could get most of my money in the D700 could be captured. ;) gene ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.

First, I suppose it's not impossible that the price of used D700s will remain stable or possibly even increase after a short market hiatus, if demand for full-frame Nikon DSLRs increases overall?? That's counter-intuitive and at best wild speculation.? More substantively... Second, the "E" version is a fascinating acknowledgement of different photographic needs and the use (or non-use?) of technology to serve those needs, as stated in the Nikon sales lit: The ultimate attention to detail ? the D800E Nikon engineers have developed a unique alternative for those seeking the ultimate in definition. The D800E incorporates an optical filter with all the anti-aliasing properties removed in order to facilitate the sharpest images possible. This is an ideal tool for photographers who can control light, distance and their subjects to the degree where they can mitigate the occurrence of moir?. Aside from the optical filter, all functions and features are the same as on the D800. Note: The D800E carries an increased possibility that moir? and false color will appear, compared to the D800. IR cut and antireflective coating properties of the optical filter remain the same with both versions. ----- Original Message ----- From: grduprey at mchsi.com To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 7, 2012 1:50:56 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] D800/E I would say the same for my almost new D700, but I would probably not get enough out of it to get close enough to buy the D800E, so I guess the D700 will have to do. ;) Gene ----- Original Message ----- From: "leo wesson" <leowesson at gmail.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Monday, February 6, 2012 10:58:49 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: [Leica] D800/E Looks like my almost new D7000 will be up for sale soon!
