I was thinking about getting two of these for HD video recording in the field. I have a Nikon D800. Any thoughts? Thanks, Frank-Miami, Fl.

I have a Nikon D7100 and have used the Lexar 64GB for both HD Video and High speed sequential pictures. The SDXC worked perfectly.

I agree with j-rob. Does anyone know how the newer model (HDR-XR500V) performs in low-light situations? They claim the Exmor-R sensor helps with these situations. It's too bad there's no easy or cost-effective way to upgrade. I'm not in the position to spend another $1k+ for a new camcorder that handles low-light.

A word about the D800. I downloaded the 20 megabite sample jpeg image files nikon provides and tried my hand at working with them in photoshop and Topaz filters. I see some color banding in the shadows, hmm? Has any one else tried working them?The other thing is that I noticed is with 36mp images at 20MB's your post processing times to slow to a crawl.

I have a question about this also...Is this a one-time use camcorder or can it be re-used?I am thinking the latter, just by virrtue of the selling price...Many thanks in advance!

I am considering purchasing this camera. All the reviews have been helpful. I have noticed no-one has commented on the outside temperature. The below 0 and the -25 below I think would be a problem even if mounted under an eve or overhang. If any one has any experience with this fact I would appreciate their input. Also any comments on a window mount. Thank you in advance for your input.

Hi, Douglas! I saw what you discussed about the lances and the whole camera and I want to ask you if you have any experiance with Nikon Coolpix 5700 (I have that one) and how is it against Canon DigitalRebel XT? Is it much more I'll "earn" if I switch to Canon? Thank you in advance!Ivan Hristov, Houston, TX

Sorry, I do not use Nikon. I am using in Canon 5D III. It captures video and still fine. I shoot wild animal and so far has no problems.

I went out last Summer shot some excellent evening footage , and to me it looked excellent WVGA 240fps, and HD720P120FPS. they are not Hd1080P, Everyone sees things through their own perspective. and that I truly cannot answer for you. In my eyes it looks good. remember no sound is offered on slow motion, maybe the gopro you were looking at offers a different view point. check youtube out for those evening shots

I'm not sure about the weight of that model. I gather that just one of these floats could have held up 2 GoPro Hero3s. Since they send you two of them, maybe you could attach them both if the Nikon is a heavier model. They really don't seem to get in the way of shooting. I'm using them all the time around water now. I never realized just how fast a cam will sink if dropped.

I recently had a very long talk with a rep from Nikon. He said that there is no new replacement for the D80 yet in the pipeline. Can not verify that this is the truth, but he usually is honest about this sort of thing.

I also have a D60 and plan to use the Nikkor 10-24 in my underwater shooting - what do y'all think?The Tokina 10-17 is out because of no AF compatability with the D60. divergal

Do these work with D800? I have them on a D90 and just got a D800. For $32 I can get the other model but if they still work even better?

Hey Barbara,I would definitely try one a little sturdier. I have this one now on a lighter Nikon (D7000) and primarily use a smaller lens (18-105) and I think it is about at capacity and maybe a little under-qualified. Just one man's opinion but I think something more robust would suit your very nice set up better.

S120 ;) (sorry don't know anything about the Nikons so I really have nothing objective here, but, I love this camera, love it). This camera is worth it's weight in my pocket for what it does when I need it to. Unreal quality and speed, and the video is on par with my 6D if not better in the same conditions.

I presently own a Sony DVD308 camcorder and want to update to a HD camcorder. I also have a Cannon G10 digital camera that is great. I am looking at the G12 to use as a camcorder and digital camera. My question is should I buy just a HD Hard Drive Camcorder or the G12 ? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Jack
