I WISH I could do whatever I wanted around here! But believe it or not, I'm just enforcing the forum rules.

For example Forum Rule #2 states, in part, "Try to keep your comments with the discussed topic and avoid discussing other forum members."

your camera is 16MP that is a fixed number of pixels on your sensor. it does not change.

the size of you file changes depending on the diversity of the p (pixels) if there is a wide variety of different colours and tones your file will be bigger. if many pixels in your image are the same, your file will be smaller B (bytes, or Mb million bytes).

a troll is someone who goes on forums and says things deliberately to get a negative reaction. you havent done this, but you would be surprised how many people have nothing bettter to do.

Sorry Damian, but it was very hard to believe you were in possession of a "Frankenstein" D7000 with more megapixels (MP)then anyone else. Being that it was your first post to the forum I just had to be sure you weren't trying to stir things up which is what "trolls" do.

Welcome to the forum.

Just checked then. Thank you Gareth, you're right...i am confusing the two...thanks for your wisdom....Damian

Apologies....i'm new to this. I've never even been on a forum before, so excuse my ignorance.
I just wanted to find out has this happened with other d700 users ?
As for your question....i'm just going off what the camera properties and image info tell me.
By the way, why would you close my question and what is "troll post"....
Thank you

i think you're confusing Mp with Mb

How are you coming up with higher MP number than 16? Explain your math...

Sorry, no not saying that at all. Just wanted to find out if anyone else has a D7000 that shoots higher than 16.2mp also. Wondering if it may be a fault with mine.

You're telling us you got a D7000 with a D3X sensor???

Explain your question further or I'm closing it as a troll post.

Just wondering if anyone has heard of this before and what the situation might be.

My first guess was....... my D7000 may have had a romantic evening with and been impregnated by, a D3x. ( in other words, i have no eye deers ! )

The camera capture images normally in JPEG and RAW + JPEG.
In RAW at ISO 100 though, which is what i like to use, it captures images, up to a maximum (so far), of 24.3 MP.

Everything else with the camera seems to be operating normally.
I'm quite impressed with it, but wondering if i may have purchased,
'NIKONS FRANKENSTEIN'.

THANK YOU FOR ANY IDEAS......

OK then, then get that D700 back and get that picture taken
;>)

Trust me she has no complaints!

You have to start standing up to your wife and get that D700 back:

Or I picture this tv add:

Niko's wife is looking at the camera, kind of sad looking: Niko used to spend hours on that Nikon/Canon rumors thing and it was making me so sad, but now with Viagra the Nikon/Canon Rumors thing have suddenly stopped she says with a smile ;^)

Niko hows it coming with the Picture Buddy????

I think the last one had quite a few layers of soft-focus filters ;^)

Lain, welcome to the forum. Nice to see another Brit. My Mom and Dad are Brit and Scott, so it is nice to see someone from there. Look forward to chatting, enjoy yourself. and don't let Niko or Alpha give you the gears, they're really push overs. Besides we still have doubts Niko exists.

Keith

Niko hows it coming with the Picture Buddy????

Aha! He was the minifigure with the camera that was always in the Lego magazine under Spiderman! I gotcha! Childhood memories are useful things :^)

*facepalm*

Spiderman/Peter Parker is a photographer for a newspaper named the "Daily Bugle". In other words newspaper photog's have a high pressure job that pays very little.

NikoDoby said:
I guess you never heard of Spiderman neither :^(

Oh yeah that thing. But what does the Bugle have anything to do with it?

I guess you never heard of Spiderman neither :^(

NikoDoby said:
Wait until you get a job at the "Daily Bugle". Then you'll wish you were back in school shooting a talent show with a point & shoot!

I have no idea what that is.

On the other hand, I would love to get a job this summer working for the local newspaper! $ + experience = better equipment and future jobs :^)

I wonder if they hire kids?

I will be going along with a pro first to see if I think I could handle the responsibility of capturing someones big day. Then if that's not for me I will be offering my services at the model railway exhibition as a photographer a little bit safer lol, although they do get a bit rough if you say N gauge is crap.

N Scale is way too small, and the details are easily breakable. Better use TT, or even HO (my preference), or S!!!

Anyway, as said a fair time above... weddings (and people photography in general) can get very stressful, because unlike Model Trains, people are impatient, and may think you are winging it. Trust me, I know that from experience.

Wait until you get a job at the "Daily Bugle". Then you'll wish you were back in school shooting a talent show with a point & shoot!

Sounds like a nightmare, alpha. I'm glad you survived. I think you point out something important, though—one of the crucial things for 'successful' event photography is for both sides to have realistic expectations. Communication is key! If the client puts restrictions on the photographer, they need to know how that will affect the final product. As long as everyone knows the rules and is happy with them and their consequences, both parties are less likely to get upset. (BTW, this is also good marriage advice. Most problems come from unfulfilled expectations, so you'd better either be a good mind reader or keep communicating to know what's expected.)

Oh yes, I definitely learned something! Luckily I haven't heard any complaints about the images, but I better be careful next time. Shooting for the school is difficult. You don't get paid (unless you count my free yearbook), you deal with terrible lighting and strict rules, and the second photographer is a 6th grader with a P&S! Very difficult situation. I've decided that's the last Talent Show I'm shooting till I get an ƒ/2.8 lens—until then they can use that 6th grader :^P

Alpha I have been there, done that, I volunteer for the "Alberta Sports Hall of Fame" and it is so great to meet formers Olympics, Pros in all fields, but I have been showing up and being presented with very difficult conditions. Like doing a very important group shot, dark, not enough room, but you think fast and use your skills and usually it works out.

You're right, a photographer has to learn to think fast. Real fast. I did that when I had my camera on ISO 1600 and my shutterspeed read 1/8. I made a jump to 6400 seconds before the show started.
