Haven’t had time to post here about the saga with my D800 (previous posts are here and here). After much debate with Nikon Richmond Service center I got referred to the corporate office in Mississauga, Canada. Even though originally it seemed like my issue was going to be ignored further, I actually got good service…

Wireless remote for Nikon D800
There are many uses for a camera remote – you may need to secure your camera on a tripod and ensure that there is no shake to the camera when shooting, or you may need to expose for long time or maybe you want to just take a picture with yourself in the frame. My…
D800 memory cards
I don’t think I mentioned this before but I am using SD cards with my D800 exclusively. Main reasoning for not using CF cards is to minimize number of gadgets I need to have and travel with. Since most laptops released in the last few years have SD card readers it becomes a big selling…
D800 focusing issue. Part 2.
Today I got my camera back from Nikon’s service center in Vancouver, BC. They sent it back saying it’s within specifications. I set up another test environment with different target this time – star chart. This was a second trip to the service center. After first trip my camera came back with improved focus when…
D800 focusing issue. The beginning.
So, it’s been few months since I got my D800. Unfortunately there are issues with the camera – quite infamous focusing issue with left group of focusing sensors.

I figured I will post interesting reviews that are worth reading about D800. May be a good list of resources down the road. NatureScapes review by one of the biggest authors of the site and forums there – E.J. Peiker
D800
It is here. It is amazing from those few brief moments that I had with it. I hope to be able to spend more time shooting next week – late May, early June. And, weather and location permitting – even more shooting during the month of June. A lot of things are different from my…
Gura Gear Kiboko 22L+. Days 3-5.
By this time I have already had my doubts. I started realizing that this bag does not work for me. I was actually surprised that it works for anyone. It is NOT comfortable and for the price they charge this thing needs to be a next best thing to a cloud in a sky and…
Gura Gear Kiboko 22L+. Day 2.
So, I got a new Gura Gear bag, highly praised and considered a ‘holy grail’ by many. And I am traveling with it – plane, automobile and feet. I quickly started noticing that the bag is not very comfortable on my back, no matter what sort of adjustments I make. Sure, it wasn’t light, but…
