I can not use the flash as it can disturb the skaters. Thoughts on that in relation to my aforementioned question??? Thanks again!

My daughters are figure skaters and it is very difficult to capture those moments as they are moving fast and the rink lighting is so low. I love my basic Nikon D40 for almost everything. I have been shooting some of their competitions with the AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1:4-5.6GVR lens, many of the photographs are blurry, though there are some that turn out nice, but not quite as crisp as I'd like. Last weekend, I upped my ISO to various levels and the noise levels made me cry afterwards. It was horrible.I've heard that the D300s is great for sports photography and the D700 has way better ISO. Ack! Is there one that has both features (other than the D3, which I can not afford)? What would you recommend and is there a lens that you'd recommend with it to zoom in close? Thank you for your help! I'm stumped right now... What are your thoughts on the D700 versus the D300s for shooting sports photography in crappy lighting conditions?

It works great, so it does not bother me :) Just don't shake it I guess, LOL :) Raquel, my Nikon D700 had the same thing and still produces a ticking sound when I shake it.

Think it sounds like a mirror or a lens. But the camera is turned OFF. i plugged out the battery and lens then wag the body, i really can hear this ticking sound. Been searching for technical reviews and forums about this issue but im not lucky enough to find any. Are you guys aware about this? is this normal for any Nikon DX bodies? i never dropped or slammed it. Appreciate for your advice.. Hi Nasim/ everyone

I use a D200, which can be in my hand for 3 or 4 hours whilst shooting weddings and wildlife. I wanted a body with a better low light capability, but there is no way I could use the D7000 for more than a few minutes before it became uncomfortable, Neither does it have useful features at hand like the D200/300/700/3/3x. Forget it - it is a flash consumer camera, NOT for a pro that uses it regularly. Why does nobody mention these points, why are you all wrapped in features and specs?

Can you give me a walkthrough on this. I tried searching through the internet and I don’t see any guides on how this function works. Even the manual does not explain the functionality. I really want to utilize this camera function but I need some help. Im using a 35mm 1.8G DX lens.Thanks in advance Hi Nasim,

There is no significant update to Dxxx line since d300. D7000 seems to have quite a lot better sensor. I wonder whether nikon will make D7000 a new top DX line or there will be some D300 replacement.

My main reason is that with D300S i will have basicly 300-600 lense. Attractive enough, i think. But what about the quality at high ISO 1250, 2500? Or should i get, for almost same money, the NIKON 85 1.4? Basicly I have 70-200, so i am covered in this range but I heard a lot of very good opinion about this lens.best regards,nikos Hello Nazim,
