Rats, I saw the Aperture box and was hoping for a new Aperture version being announced. I really hope they update it soon. I enjoy some of the fun features built into iPhoto and hope they at least bring those into Aperture.

If you already have Aperture 2 and a D3s, prior to this update you would get a “file not supported” message if you try to download a D3s (or D300s) RAW file. There is no change in Aperture 2 or any upgrade, only your camera can be downloaded as it should. I hope this answered your question.

I was excited to hear Apple was now offering RAW support for the D3s in Aperture. Went to Aperture on Apple website, but fail to see any upgrade? Am I missing something here?

well I guess a lot of photographers read her blog… or they want bragging rights of owning that equipment…. which would be pathetic if that is the case.

also I am not sure if past clients want to hear she shot their weddings with those “defective” cameras…I guess she did qualify it with saying shooting at higher apertures… but that is only one piece of the puzzle…

However, I do agree with a lot of her points…

It’s because Nikon cameras can take pictures in darkness.

who decided to call nikon the darkside? just because nikon’s long guns are usually black (instead of white creamy can(n)ons)? just wondering…

Unfortunately Camera Raw 5.6 for Photoshop Elements 7 / 8 does not appear to be there. The link comes up dead.

I find it interesting that she blasts Cannon, and then when you look at her list of items so many people have purchased the equipment.

Hey, that Nikon Capture 2 NX class looks interesting. Any chance they offer it in other cities besides Atlanta? I would love to see it come to Kansas City…..

Er, the 24-105 is capable of taking some great pics, but it’s not everything everybody says it is. That’s all. The 24-120VR actually is everything everybody says it is…but that’s just being honest. And in all honesty, the 24-120 is just as good out to 90 or 100. It just turns near unusable at 120.

Lens designs that have variable max apertures tend to function by moving the front element more than anything els to change focal length. These optical designs tend to either vignette or get soft at the long end. Examples: 24-120VR and 18-200.

Constant max aperture lenses tend to function by moving internal elements a lot more and the front element a lot less. Downside, they’re bigger and heavier, so might as well make them fast too.

Amen to the 24-105. It was great to photographers coming from film who never learned to push 35mm film’s limits. Now it just has a good rep, but in reality, I’ve never seen it deliver the goods.
