I might call you out on another inane statement. My conclusion is that you lied when You said I was wrong. You still haven't answered my question, asI said you wouldn't . -- PeterN |

There is no weather sealing what-so-ever on the door to the storage media and just guess what side of the camera faces up when slung cross body over the right shoulder when using something like a Blackrapid strap? the buffer isn't as big, but that's rarely an issue in most situations. the control layout and door mechanism are *very* subjective and slrs are a rule are hard to use with gloves anyway. So over on the raw converter thread you push features I have no need for in your preferred tool and now you call features I need and would even prefer to pay more for subjective. What a clairvoyant. You are consistent though. |

Either this is BS or the memory card doors on the D300S and D800 are inferior to the D200/D300. I have my D200, D300 and D7100 lined up side by side. The covers on the D200 and D300 have rubber weather sealing completely circling the opening which get compressed when the door is latched shut. The D7000 has no weatherstripping and the door slides shut with little tension on the cover. Simple friction against the door is what opens it. Nowhere near as secure as that on the D200/300. Hey 'Duck is your D300s the same as the D200/300? I don't see why it wouldn't be. |

Hey 'Duck is your D300s the same as the D200/300? I don't see why it wouldn't be. On the D300S there is a thin rubber weather strip. The memory card slot cover has to be slid to the rear to unlatch. The seal is remade when it is slid forward to compress the strip and latch the cover. The I/O(HDMI, A/V, mic, DC, USB) bay, 10-pin connector, & flash sync terminal are each sealed with a rubber cover with substantial recesses. -- Regards, Savageduck |
