After doing a quick search on this Mark, my suggestion would be to bring it back to the shop you bought it in and have it checked while it is still in the warranty period. There does seem to be a few known issues that might cause this. It may also be a memory card issue.

Apparently there is even something on page 306 of the manual relating to this.

Hope this helps :-)

+1 for the lads at Twin Flash Johnny. Didn’t know that they advertise here. They have an Adverts.ie store and their own site, which has a bigger selection and more deals.

Great value on backdrops. I bought one of the larger backdrops with 4 vinyl rolls. Great quality for the price :-)

Great weekend too :-)

It was 2009 Robbie!!!!

Seems about right okay Ossie!! Great memories, although I think I nearly started an avalanche with my snoring.. ;-) Not to mention one of the scariest drives ever on the way back down the mountain going home on solid ice.

I have similar memories of the Mourne’s trip several years ago. Although in that case, we picked a weekend that had one of the worst snowfalls in years ;-)

Thanks Mark,

I’ll root one out and email it to ya :-)

Haven’t been on Flikr forever either Mark. Time to have a look there again methinks.

Now where did that Mark fella disappear to again?

Whatever did happen to John (NFL Fan) and Pete the Bloke anyway? I have kept in touch with a lot of the old gang on Facebook, but they disappeared before I really got into Facebook.

Did someone call my name??? ;-)

Sorry… as usual I got waylaid. Just came in now to start a thread, thought, where shall I start it…

Oh I know, The Lounge!

Trust Alan to get there before me ;-)

How are you guys? Lets see how many “Oldies” we can recruit.

Hey Jenny,

Only seeing your reply now… My bad ;-)

How did you find the jump to full frame? Did you have to invest in new lenses?

I’m savng for a D7100 right now to go along with my D300. I imagine I’ll eventually go FF, but money talks ;-)

Doesn’t it always ;-)

Hey Jenny :-)

Lovely shots! What are ya shooting with these days? You used to use a D200 right?

Thanks Mark. Kinda confirms what I’ve seen in reviews online.

The battery grip thing isn’t that new though. The D300 grip is the same. Bit of a pain okay, but you get used to it. Also, you can set up which battery gets used first. so if you set it up for the Grip battery to be used first then it’s not as bad.

Cathal…it seems that camera manufacturers are getting like clothes manufacturers…everything being designed for smaller people ;-)

I like a camera that feels solid in my hand and don’t mind it being bigger or a little heavier :-)

Cheers Mark :-)

The ISO performance is the real dealmaker for me. The D300 is just lagging too far behind the current line for me. I’d love to make the jump to full frame, as they really do seem to have quite the edge, but not really an option unless i win the Lotto sometime soon ;-)

I hear ya on the grip thing okay. Stupid money for what it is. Only thing that makes me wary of the 3rd party grips, is that, according to what im reading online, a lot of them seem to develop issues, dont fit as tightly or dont work quite as seamlessly as the Nikon version.

But then you’re talking €50 versus €300. So its a tough call.

Hey Mark :-)

What do you think of the D7100? I”m actually saving for a new camera body myself as an upgrade to my current D300. I’ve finally given up on the mythological D400, and since most of my lenses are DX format, going full frame is not really an option.

I really like the size and build of the D300, so thats one of the worries for me. Is there a big difference between your D200 and the D7100.

I’ll most likely get the grip anyway as Ive always used one with both my old D80 and D300 :-)

Cheers

Robbie :-)
