I don't think the D800 shoots faster than the D600... and I don't think the D4 is 3 times faster than the D600... you're a little optimistic! It doesn't. Frame rate on the D600 is 5.5. The D800 frame rate is 4. (Assuming that neither has a battery pack.) So what? It doesn't make any difference and was not part of the discussion. So then why is that important to you. You brought it up, not me. BobF did, and I responded. You interjected, inappropriately. No, you are the one who claimed the I said the D4 is 3 times faster than the D600. Idiocy Peter, idiocy. Obviously you don't shoot HDR. Frame rate can be important i reducing ghosting, when shooting under less than ideal conditions. Which is why I used High Speed Continuous in the example I gave. And why fewer shots are better. But not significant for the equipment being discussed. Why are you coming up with this sort of repeated nonsense? It appears that the "nonsense" enminates from you. Yeah, like the 3x3=9 bit from whose math book??? :-) The point was and still is that the D4 can get a +/- 4 EV bracket, and the D600 cannot. It might be that shooting HDR is one use for such bracketing, but it is not the only use and therefore your perception of how to shoot HDR, even if it were the only way, would still not be the point of the original discussion about bracketing. -- Floyd L.

Now that was a well thought out response. It fit your comment to a tee, and there is no point giving your opinion any credibility at all. Even if what you said had been accurate, it is overly specific and not valid for a discussion of generalities. Not everyone shoots your idea of "the ideal HDR spread". ?? "shoots?' I make no claim to originality about HDR, when not shooting for a "cartoon" look, that 2 ev over and 2 ev under + 1 normal exposure, is ideal. That doesn't mean that there are circumstances where the image would benefit from a variance. Just a goog GENERAL rule of thumb. It has become increasing obvious that you do little, if any, HDR shooting. Because I talk about how to use a camera in general, rather than speak only to the few specifics that you understand? You're still missing the point. Which is understanding the camera, not shooting your idea of HDR. The subject was bracketing and why. Stop contorting out of you error. You are right. I definitely enjoy using my D800. Didn't even consider the D600. I did consider the D4, but decided to put the difference towards some good glass. They are different. For some things the D4 is significantly better than a D800. For other things the D800 is significantly better than a D4. Budget aside, choosing one or the other is best done by matching what kind of photography you do to the camera. True. Unlike some here, I do not have an unlimited budget, so in a tie based upon use, budget comes into play. But to quote you, "that was not part of the original discussion." So why are you throwing it into to discussion? I could care less how much money you can spend on cameras, or not. Because you brought it up. Would you stop claiming that I'm the one saying what appears in your posts! As usual, discussion of anything here is pointless past stating something once and ignoring idiots. If you have something useful to say, I'll respond. But I won't bother with more of this repeated blather. -- Floyd L. Davidson http://www.apaflo.com/floyd_davidson Ukpeagvik (Barrow, Alaska) |

I don't think the D800 shoots faster than the D600... and I don't think the D4 is 3 times faster than the D600... you're a little optimistic! Who said anything at all about faster? Was the reference to using "High Speed Continuous" a cause of confusion? That merely provides the fastest rate that the camera will shoot, whatever it happens to be. (The fastest rate possible is better in order to avoid any change is the scene during the time a set of exposures is taken.) The camera can be configured for the maximum number of shots that will be taken with a single press of the shutter button in a continuous mode. Hence, if the bracketing is set to a specific number of shots, regardless of the size of the step per shot, and the camera is in a Continuous mode with a maximum number of exposures that equals the number set in backeting... a full bracketed set is automatically made with a single press of the shutter release button. The point made was that the D4 and D800 can be set to shoot 9 shots with each 1 EV apart. That provides an automatic bracketed range of +4 EV to -4 EV. That cannot be done with the D600. It can be set to 3 shots at most, and with each at most 3 EV apart, providing only +3 EV to -3 EV. Uhm! 3 x 3 =9, the last time I looked at a math table. Uhm, you need more coffee and less of whatever it is you are doing. Shot Count: 1 2 3 fstops : -3 0 +3 Three shots is two intervals from the first to the last. For the D4 and similar models, Shot Count: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 f/stops : -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 You have just proved my original point. Three shots are adequate fpr HDR, if you have at least 2EV for each stop. Go shoot some HDR and look at the results. Under most circumstances you do not need more than a 4 EV spread. You just proved you are still running around in circles trying to find something that you can talk about with some sembalance of sanity... Who cares if you think 3 shots are adeqate, or if you think it takes 4, or only 2. That was never the point, and that is never going to be the point. And what has that got to do with your silly 3*3=9 bit of idiocy? Did your math book fail you again? So what is 3x3, if not 9? -- PeterN |

The end range is indeed less. |
