I've got the winter to get up to speed before the Football (American not soccer) season starts here in the UK. Hey Scott

Well I finally treated myself to an early Christmas present and bought myself a D300 (had been a Canon shooter, but all the reviews kept pointing me this way) cannot wait to start learning. I’ve got the winter to get up to speed before the Football (American not soccer) season starts here in the UK.

I have many of your books and currently have a D300 and use Photoshop CS. When I went to edit raw images Photoshop CS would not recognize the images. I have Nikon disks and have not installed them, but thought I would not have to. Any quick thoughts or solutions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Bud PS: I have been with Nikon since 1974 and Apple since 1982. Your books have been most helpful. My homepage: http://homepage.mac.com/budgetchell Scott, I’m a Mac user.

Have been shooting with Nikon D300 for several weeks... great camera, however, PSCS2 will not read 'nef' files. Is capture NX the only solution? Also does not seem possible to use electronic remote (like the D70) which you have previously recommended, only a cable release? HELP PLEASE!

I used my new (1 day old:-) D300 yesterday in "full auto" mode with no changes from the factory and I shot what was the very best picture of my son that I have ever done. The colors were amazing, sharpness dead on and with the 55-200VR lens attached at 150mm, f/5 the fall foliage background was blown out so gorgeously it made the shot perfect. I would recommend this camera to anyone. The only reasons I could justify the D3 with would be the need for full-frame and for low-noise, very-high ISO. But that's likely a small group of people.

The camera is set on shutter priority w/800 ISO and 800 shutter speed. I'm a pro shooter covering action photography but take only single selected shots that are usually spaced out between 1/2 and 2 seconds. I'm shooting in the highes quality jpeg format in the normal setting with the sharpness, contrast and saturation in the automatic(A) mode. The problem I'm having is that while most shoots are great every 5th or so image comes out like I was shooting through gauze. Sort of under exposed but not dark. Just NO contrast or saturation. After that the next few are just fine...then it happens again. This never happened when I was shooting in the standard or normal mode with alol advanced adjustments on -0- and not auto(A). Any thoughts. Bad sensor?, firmware? processor? HELP! I’m using the D300 with 2.8 VR 70-200 Lens. The camera is set on shutter priority w/800 ISO and 800 shutter speed.

I have just purchased one and what would you recommend as the best for learning how to use this camera? A DVD would be helpful and also what is the best book from B&H? Thank you Terry Scott,

Still using my medium formate film cameras, I am shooting with the D200 as well and love it. I am going to upgrade to the d300 with the great improvements it has added to photography. Your help in making this very useful and appriciated. Thank you Alan Scott,
