Added… The D300 also does 8 frames per sec with the same settings without the grip. So someone thats updated a D300 firmware could also confirm this. (almost definitely!!!)

Tell me.

The D700 was only supposed to do 5 fps without the grip.

An error in firmware allows it to do 8 fps with and without the grip for bracketing up to 9 shots if you set the “right” settings (or for HDR purposes and up to 9 frames for sport by using bracket flash with it down) Many of us know this and use it.

If you have installed the firmware then tell me if it still does this? Or if they fixed it and slowed it down to the official 5 fps unless you bolt that brick to te bottom?

I need to know before I update! It wont let you go back…

What about the 26 Coolpixes they will surely announce at CES?

To my knowledge the extra exposure compensation steps are not available in any Nikon camera including with this new firmware. It’s a lost cause, I guess we need to wait 10 years for a simple change of value. I wish some hackers would reverse engineer the firmware

You know, when you think about it, the GPS unit in my Blackberry works great and must be the size of a nail head. Why they need a whole grip is beyond me.

Not true, for that you need the USB Wine Tap

RGA%YQ$% Where is the D90 FW upgrade? This is super lame. Seems like Nikon has been ignoring the consumer level market. Not happy Jan!

AGH! Still not Manual ISO control on the D300s… does anyone know who we can contact regarding this… we need to push them like Stu and Philip did for the Canon 5DMK2!

No, just high fever – almost gone now. I think there is nothing Nikon related to be covered @CES. This year I am planing to be at Photokina and PDN. I am registered for PMA, but still not sure if I will make it.
