Unusable because of poor design and accessibility.......2007-06-01

I purchased a Nikon F6 ( right after I purchased a Nikon D200 ) a couple of months ago.

Although this film camera obviously does not have the many additional options and settings that the digital Nikon D200 has, it does have a a similar software-human interface. The extremely unfortunately consequence of this systematically defective design is that it is essentially unusable by people with photosensitive / pattern sensitive epilepsy.

If you are at the least annoyed by idiot and unnecessary blinking or, as I do have seizures because of them, the entire Nikon line might as well be avoided. ( Unfortunately, this trait seems common with Canon, too. At least the Digital Rebel XTi, which I purchased and was inaccessible ( After getting clobbered by it, I stopped using it ). I later downloaded the manual for their highest end DSLR and one look and it was obvious I could not use it, either. )

I just received a Nikon 200-400mm lens and wanted to check it out indoors ( the incident light was somewhat less than 5 EV with a Gossen StarLite light meter ). The newer Nikon camera line, as I have said, seems to be designed to induce as many seizures in sensitive people as they possibly can.

I passed my hand in front of the lens and, guess what, it started blinking and on the first blink I had a bad ( not grand mal ) seizure. I still have not recovered after 15 minutes. ( I am trying to be coherent after this )

I wish someone would tell me why the analog exposure display on the right side of the viewfindeer has to madly BLINK whenever the metering range is exceeded?

This is a PROFESSIONAL camera yet the interface is, ala Nikon, another idiot camera software design. It is impossible to avoid the blinking in any way using these Nikon cameras. The full user's guide is not online so there is no way that you can know if this thing is accessible. It is not.

If you purchase this camera, and you are concerned with this obnoxious blinking almost everywhere you try to use the camera, then carefully read the entire user's guide so you know what you are getting into and so you have time to return it if you so desire.

BTW, the Gossen StarLite is just about the only newer light meter that is even slightly usable by epileptics. And even then, you can only use about 10% of it's features. What is so nice about it is that it displays an "Err" message when the light level is outside of the meter's measuring range. Maybe Nikon could get a clue and make their cameras usable and accessible. ( The Sekonics are all write-offs in this respect, unfortunately )

Nikon has been told about this total inaccessibility ( and that their products are dangerous to epileptics ) but I am not holding my breath that they will provide any accessibility ( or usability )

Hence the 1 rating. ( One reason I am writing these reviews is so that people like me don't have to throw almost $8,000 down the Nikon bad-design drain )

Nikon's Flagship Film SLR: The Best Gets Better.......2005-02-04

Nikon has introduced a new F-series film camera about once every eight years, and a lot of people wondered if the F5 from 1996 would be the last film-based pro SLR Nikon would manufacture. To the surprise and delight of many, Nikon unveiled the F6 with relatively quiet fanfare last autumn. Film photographers in the know should prepare their credit cards for this one.

Having owned the F4s, F5 and now the F6, I can say from experience that the previous F-series cameras are all great, but the best just got better. The F6 still has the same robust build you would expect from an F-series Nikon, and yet it is lighter than the F5 by almost 8 ounces, and it is only about 7 ounces heavier than the F100. (Without optional grip/battery pack). Ergonomics are excellent - the F6 fits nicely in my hands.

Improvements include enhanced RGB color matrix metering and 11-sensor autofocus. Unlike the F5, you are no longer required to lug 8 AA batteries around at all times (although you can if you want to) - the optional MB-40 battery pack accepts AA batteries or, better yet, a long lasting Nikon EN-EL4 rechargeable lithium ion battery, which will pay for itself rather quickly.

And what can you say about a camera that comes "loaded" with a fully functioning databack? This used to be a $500 accessory in previous F models. The F6 has an LCD screen on the back (grayscale) which allows you to quickly scroll through custom functions and settings, and you also get autobracketing, intervalometer, and the option to print basic information on the first frame of the roll, in between film frames, or inside the frame itself.

Is this the last of the film based F-series cameras from Nikon? Difficult to say. It will be interesting to see if film survives in another eight years. Many labs today are beginning to scale back on film processing operations, and digital cameras are matching (in some cases, surpassing) the quality of 35mm film. The F6 could be the last of its kind. Then again, some folks said the same thing about the F5.

PS - as a side note, I would highly recommend the optional MB-40 battery pack. It gives you the option of using AA batteries or the EN-EL4 rechargeable in addition to a vertical firing button and a wheel pad for selecting the different AF zones.
Very nice indeed.

Nikon hasn't ignored film users with its latest.......2005-01-24

I was able to take a look at Nikon's latest professional camera at last year's Photo Plus East; I was surprised that Nikon would devote so much effort in creating the finest professional-grade 35mm SLR camera that is available to those who use only film. It is as well built as the Nikon F6, but in a major departure from its Nikon F series predecessors, no longer has interchangeable viewfinders (Focusing screens can be changed via the reflex mirror, like those for the Nikon FE and FM series cameras.). it is also substantially lighter, without losing any of its ruggedness, only slightly larger than the Nikon F100 camera. Without question, this is the finest professional quality 35mm film SLR camera currently available. If I was still using Nikons, I wouldn't hesitate adding this camera to my kit.

Film isn't dead yet.......2004-12-06

Nikon has brought out the new world standard 35mm SLR camera and it is truly great. It has the sturdy feel of the F5 - you get the feeling of a camera body you could drop in a mud puddle and run over with your car and it would still work fine after you cleaned it up. It isn't a lot bigger than the F100 and is very handy - I love the feel of it. But it's metering system is simply the best. It may be possible to fool it - the snow scenes this winter will be the acid test - but it hasn't happened to me yet. It is very hard to find anything to criticize but I wish the batteries were easier to find and lasted longer but I am resisting buying the accessory battery pack for reasons of lightness and handiness (but I may cave eventually). The autofocus is swift and sure, as you would expect. The data back is a great feature too. I will never part with this camera. It truly takes grat pictures when I do my part and it just gets out of the way and lets me do it. This is a camera and system you will not outgrow.

Great lens; somewhat cheezy body.......2002-02-23

While it isn't exactly the cheapest point and shoot out there, the slightly higher additional price is most definitely justified by the fine optics. And it's much cheaper than a faster, fixed focal-length Leica, Rollei, or Contax. Bought mine in Germany about three years ago for a ridiculously low price, and it goes with me everywhere, especially on the job and following the kids around for candid portraits outdoors. It certainly comes close to my professional SLR equipment in terms of picture sharpness and color rendition. As with most modern cameras, stay off the auto program mode and you'll quickly learn the utility of the exposure override, fill flash, manual, and flash-off modes. Almost any other point and shoot with the same or greater zoom range is junk compared to the Leica's Vario-Elmar lens. My only gripes are the somewhat cheap-feeling plastic body (like almost every other P&S) and the slow F7.6 at the 70mm focal length (still fast compared to others, however). If simplicity is one of your priorities, this is a wonderful camera.

It's like a German car...ugly looks but flawless function.......2002-01-15

I was a skeptic...could this camera be worth twice the MSRP of its point-and-shoot competitors? Well, my Grandma was correct: buy the best and you'll always be happy with it. I have been using my Z2x for about two months, and I am very pleased. The picture quality is superb: realistic color and extra-sharp images. The camera is very light and compact, fitting nicely into an inside jacket pocket. Typical Germanic hieroglyphs abound in the "mode" LCD screen, but once you learn the symbols' meaning they make sense. (Drivers of German-made automobiles understand the bit about the hieroglyphs already.)
I do have a few complaints, however. The lag-time between the red-eye reduction flash and photo flash is quite long. The camera is very noisy when zooming and shuttering, and the "mode" button is awkward to master. Except for the smart circle of chrome around the lens, the outer case of the camera looks cheap for the price. The Z2x does not have the "rock solid" feel of more expensive Leicas. But, alas, one buys a camera for picture quality, and the Leica Z2x delivers beautifully.

This can be our little secret........2001-07-08

I have had mine for 3 years now. I bought the one that is black outside and looks like a...(cheap) point and shoot. It'll fool ya. The optics are exceptional. I have found myself leaving the camera with diaper bag at the office and just toting this little camera along. I have published many photographs from this camera. It is very capable.

Excellent point and shoot camera!.......2001-04-18

I was simply amazed with the results! I used a Kodak Gold 200 film (which is average) , and the pictures were very crisp, clear, and full of color!

The best part I like about the camera is that it has very few buttons to tinker with. There's a zoom control, a mode button, and finally a button for taking pics. I also like the fact that it has an in-built flash, unlike the Olympus I owned previously.

This simplistic looking camera has numerous modes for different lighting conditions, etc. a lot more than most other point-and-shoot cameras. It takes some time getting used to the symbols used for the various modes, but after shooting a couple of rolls, I was comfortable with them. This should not be a reason to overlook this camera.

Overall, a great camera, albeit a little pricey for a point 'n shoot.

Not Quite User Friendly.......2000-10-31

Outdoor shots come out crisp and clear. I have several photos from a trip to England that look like postcards! I have only two complaints otherwise this is a great camera for someone who does not want to fuss with settings and just "point and shoot."

Main complaint is the "mode" window. You need to memorize or carry the explanation card for all the symbols in the mode window. You can't deciper the codes to figure out what any of these symbols mean and it can make a significant difference in the resulting photograph. RECOMMENDATION: Make the symbols user friendly so that we know what they mean or print the symbols and definitions on the back of the camera.

Other problem is the film-loading procedure is not the best. If the film is not wrapped properly and catches just right, the camera does not operate. I had thought it might be the battery and went through the trouble of replacing a($) battery only to find there was nothing wrong with the battery. RECOMMENDATION: Needs to be changed to an "auto load" just like the "auto rewind."

A refurbished version was given to me as a gift. It works great for me. Only issues:

1) Left touchpad button has become flaky. Maybe overuse on my part.

2) 256MB was insufficient for watching DVD movies. I installed additional 256MB and playback was improved.

BTW, HP Support is excellent. They have an Active Chat support utility that is available online that allows you to 'chat' in real time with support personnel.

excellent product. very fast. i added some ram and it was awesome. was able to play simcity 4 easily on it which is some testament to its capability.

Poor product.......2004-03-20

I purchased one of these computers only six weeks ago. On the second time out I detected black spots on the screen, where there should have been pixels. Pressing the screen brought some of them back, but as the day progressed the marks became cracks in the LCD screen itself. I reported the matter to HP the next day and they agreed to collect the unit for warranty repair. Some 10 days later they called me up demanding $650 to replace the screen, saying they were not prepared to honor the warranty for a crack.
The lid is totally too flimsy to take the stress of holding the closed unit and lifting it from a carry bag. There is a connector right where you grasp the case, and this can dig in and crack the screen. For a portable laptop the design is not fit for purpose.
NB the electronics work great but without a screen are of little value!

Worked rght out of the box, clear directions, sane price, very happy. Using for high-speed Hawking USB antenna connected to wireless router,. Extra speed great.

Newbies: RTFM.......2007-01-22

This card works fine. I would venture to say that almost all of the one-star ratings out there have working cards. When using this, or any other USB 2.0 cardbus you have to pay attention to the current draw of the devices you are plugging into it. High power devices require the use of the auxilliary power cable (the little circle plug in between the USB ports) to work properly. If you connect a high power device to this card and don't have the aux power cable attached, you will see erradic behavior ranging from 'Windows can't detect the device' to 'Windows lists the device in My Computer but gives error messages when attempting to transfer files or complete normal operations.' Results can even be intermittent if the current draw is close to the cardbus's current output threshhold. In any case you are not getting the expected performance, like the subject line says, read the f'ing manual.
