Marks on pictures

Larry,

I now use an Oly 5050, whose sensor element is sealed by the permanent zoom lens, so I don't have the dust problem. I agree, the exposed film frame carried away the dust as it was wound awat to the next frame. That will not be the case with the D70 I have on order. So, unless Nikon solves the problem -- which it probably can't -- we will need to clean the element manually. I don't look forward to it.

One other thought on dust, if you own a D100 and you shoot raw, there is a "Image Dust Off" feature in the Nikon 4 Capture software that works extremely well for dust that get's in there between cleanings. I know next to nothing about the D70, but I think you may be able to shoot raw (*.nef) files with it. Not only is the quality 50% better than jpeg fine, there is a nearly infinite amount of image processing possibilities. worth looking into.

That one one of several factors why I chose to go with a high-end prosumer camera - Nikon CP5000 - rather than an entry-level dSLR. I have spent a lifetime spotting prints and dealing with dust, and am glad to be using a camera that is sealed as well.

Other considerations were the magnification factor, for ex&le, that would turn my nice PC-Nikkor 28mm into the equivalent of a pretty useless 42mm shift-lens, optical rather than digital viewing, and remaining as much of a packhorse as when I was shooting film. It is a mobile and very discrete camera well suited to the way I am currently shooting.

A SLR is vital when shooting chromes for publication, since one must compose to the arbitrary 3:2 frame ratio. With digital or negatives, I can crop and compose to suit the subject matter, not the eye of the editor.

Thanks for all the ideas. I don't have an AC adapter but will have to look at getting one I think.

Dan.
