Comments on: My trip to see the Nikon D200 http://regex.info/blog/2006-01-05/127 Not a photo blog, but sometimes I play one on TV Wed, 20 Aug 2008 21:19:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.12-alpha by: Anonymous http://regex.info/blog/2006-01-05/127#comment-2367 Wed, 23 Aug 2006 04:20:00 +0000 http://regex.info/blog/2006-01-05/127#comment-2367 The compression of the NEF-files is really fast but prior to the compression they run a quantization step where you loose some data, especially in the highlights. So some do not want to compress their NEFs. If you don't care about the (visually almost impossible to detect) loss of data, shoot compressed. If you are a RAW-purist, shoot uncompressed.

There are better lenses out there that aren't. I'm not sure about the D200, but i've got a small green dot in the bottom corner that tells me the image is focused. That said, I miss the split prism too, and it doesn't look like Nikon offers replacement focus screens with it. Oh, and thanks for the dust ref suggestion. I'll have to try that.
