NWDiver 42 Posted December 25, 2009 Some what of a spin-off from the Upgrade thread. Are any of the new Nikon's (because personally I will never change teams, lol) going to be able to give "slide quality" Sunballs??? Plus of course would love better low light capabilities. But being a techno idiot is there a digital Nikon on the near horizon that can do both well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hani Amir 0 Posted December 30, 2009 I personally don't know the technicalities about sunballs; but seeing as most of the ridiculously awesome big shots here shoot digital now, I don't think it would be something to obsess over or something to keep you from upgrading.

fotofish 0 Posted December 30, 2009 Berkley White from Backscatter wrote a review on the D300 awhile back and talks about sunballs in it. http://www.backscatter.com/learn/article/article.php?ID=43 He was quite excited about the results he got. I hope this helps Stephen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeVeitch 0 Posted December 30, 2009 I have found the D90 to be pretty good with them, here are a couple of examples. One, i have the sun hidden behind the wall and it shows a very nice spread of rays, taken around noonish. f9 1/250. Bunaken This is around 3 or 4 in the afternoon as a part of a series of photos i was taking to check the rays. This one is f 11 and 1/250. Bunaken This one is about 5m (15ft) around 10am.. f6.3 1/250 again i kept the sun out of the frame in order to just capture frozen rays. East Lembeh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWDiver 42 Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks and excellent shots. Well at this point I think I will hold out till the D400 comes out. I have been given tacit approval to add a second housing. So thinking D200 will be macro and D400 or whatever, will be WA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
