Nikon 700

I recently purchased a Remington 700 police model and a Nikon Monarch X Scope 2.5-10x44 IR Mil-Dot scope. I was wondering what kind of base and rings I would need.

DAVID S HAS IT RIGHT. STICK WITH STEEL RINGS FOR THIS BASE. AND HAVE IT ALL INSTALLED BY A GOOD GUNSMITH.
IF YOU START THROWING SHOTS , SLOW DOWN AND LET IT COOL SOME . IF YOU'RE STILL THROWING SHOTS AND IT WAS ALL MOUNTED CORRECTLY YOU ARE CAUSING THE MISSES , CUZ THIS IS A FOOL PROOF SET-UP.

The second FX format camera from Nikon, the Nikon D700 delivers the impeccable features of the Nikon D3 in the smaller body of the Nikon D300 ...

I have lenses already that would work.

Certainly. The D40(x) is a good option, excellent little DSLR. The D40 is 6.1 megapixels, the D40x 10mp. Only disadvantage is the (very) limited support for older lenses - they have to be lenses with built-in focus motors if you want autofocus and meaningful metering support. Nikon dropped those features for this entry-model to keep the price down. But the quality and performance overall is typical Nikon: just wonderful. Older (used) models you may like and that do support almost all lenses in the entire Nikon palette are the D100, D70s, perhaps D50. Less megapixels but excellent quality nevertheless. Do shop around as prices for a well-maintained body vary wildly. At Ebay, for example, you see totally crazy prices as well as sometimes reasonable prices. I got one for less than 300 bucks in good condition. The relatively new semi-pro D200 is expected to see a price drop now that the pro-models D300 and D3 are out. Alternatively, you may want to hunt around for a used D200 body. You will love the stunning results this camera is capable of, even with "old" and non-AF lenses. The D100 in the hands of a experienced amateur or pro is, although a much older design, also capable of top results.

12.1-megapixel FX-format (23.9 x 36mm) CMOS sensor; kit includes 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G ED IF VR Nikkor zoom lens
Fast, accurate 51-point AF system; 3D Focus Tracking and two Live View shooting modes
3.0-inch, 920,000-dot VGA color monitor; 170-degree wide-angle viewing and tempered-glass protection

I've been examining a Canon SD700 and SD800 and have been having trouble deciding between the two.

The 700 has the longer zoom, which I need, but I could also use the wide angle just as well.

I need something fast, that's shoots well in low-lighting, and shows great colour & sharpness. I take a lot of movies, and use special functions, continuous shots, widescreen, a lot too (stitch, macro, my colours, etc.).

Size is a factor, so I'm avoiding SLRs altogether. Cosmetic appeal would be nice too (my priorities are movie, and especially photo quality, but it would be nice to have a camera that was just cool looking too).

Recently, I saw two other cameras - the G7 and the Nikon P5000.

CAn anyone tell me how these would compare to the Elphs (700 & 800 SD)? Which would I be better off getting?

I realize there are price differences, but putting those aside...

Any replies would be great!!

After answering questions here for about 8 months, I finally decided to get a Canon Powershot SD900. If you CAN put aside the price difference, I'd consider it for yourself as well. Actually, it's cheaper that the SD800-IS. I was going to go for the SD700-IS as I think it is a great camera and a few members own it and recommend it highly, but they were out of stock everywhere and it gave me time to re-think my purchase. This is going to be a pocket camera to use when I don't want to carry one of my SLR's with me, but I still want really great image quality from the camera. Anyhow, after months and months of reading reviews, the SD900 was my top choice.

After about one month of using the SD900, I am so happy with it that I bought one to give to my niece as an engagement present. I am that confident in the camera.

I also bought a 5-year Mack warranty for $50. If you are even a little paranoid or clutzy, I feel that it is money well-spent. These are somewhat delicate compared to SLR's.

Click on "In-depth review" and "Read Owner Opinions." Be sure to note that the reviews are many pages long so you don't stop after page one. Check the sample images, also. You can enlarge these to full size images if you click on the link below the picture. You will have to then put your cursor in the white space to the right of the picture and click once. After that, you can pass your cursor over the image and it will turn into a magnifier. Click it as a magnifier once and the image will go to full size and you can really examine the detail or look for artifacts like fringing or noise.

Here is one photo I put on-line that I took with the SD900. Click on "All Sizes" and view this as large as possible and check out the birds. This was taken right after sunset and there were no enhancements in afterprocessing.

Here's another photo with no post-processing at all. It was taken at the full 111 mm (equiv) zoom. It was taken in the fully automatic mode with no help from me at all. The horizon is crooked because the camera was resting on the top of my car. I did not want to alter anything, because this is part of a 3-image series comparing optical zoom with cropping to digital zoom. You can look at the other pictures while you are there and see why optical zoom is all that matters.

Anyhow - compared to the SD800-IS... The SD800 has a wider angle lens, but the reviews say, "there is a slight, but noticeable drop off in sharpness towards the edges and corners in some circumstances." Then, the SD800 only zoom to an equivalent of 105 mm. (The SD900 lens is 37-111 equiv.) The SD800 has image stabilization, which adds about $80-100 to the cost of the camera, but I say that it is wasted technology if the lens only goes to 105 mm. ANYONE can hold this lens still and should not need IS. Since we have ruled out the need for IS, I see no reason to spend more money on the SD800 than you would spend on the SD900. The SD900 has a sensor that is almost twice as big as the SD800 and this translates into better image quality. I am very happy with mine and I think everyone should own one. (haha)

If you are not interested in the SD900, I would encourage you to consider the SD700-IS over the SD800-IS, as the wide angle is said to be "not that great" so you won't use it full-wide anyhow. The SD700, then, offers greater telephoto length (140 mm equiv.) than the SD800 (105 mm equiv.). It's $60 cheaper, too.

This is actually a little more complicated than just the basic question. The guy who owns the camera will probably put "strings attached" to the Nikon D200. The Canon G10 is no dSLR, but I do like it, at least concept-wise (and yes I know about about poor high ISO performance in "P&S" cameras). I haven't actually handled one yet - they are that new, as you "photogs" already know. I have actually used the D200 and I do like it, but am I better off in the long run to get a camera with no "strings attached" and a warrantee? I do plan on getting a new Nikon dSLR later on, so should I get the "P&S" Canon G10 now and save up for my pro-level Nikon dSLR later? I know Nikon is "up to something" so I'm waiting for news from them before I plunk down thousands of dollars on a new pro-level dSLR. I need some help with this decision - thanks to all who help me make a wise choice. I've seen images from the G10 and I like them. As I don't have a decent camera right now I need to get one, but I want to make sure I get the RIGHT one. The D200 supposedly has less than 10,000 shutter clicks on it, but was kept in a smoky apartment, so I think I would need to get the sensor cleaned at the very least. Thanks for all your help!
The "strings attached" would be things like requests for rides and favors. The guy has a "record" of doing things like that, and I think the camera is fine, but the possibility of the "strings attached" would have to be very much taken into consideration, and hopefully, eliminated. BTW: answer #2 is what I was thinking about doing - thanks.

Which strings are attached?

The seller needs to be more specific.

When you're buying a used camera, in generally, you need to make sure that a) it's in good condition b) a fair price c) there's no strings attached. How long has it been used? the they mention that? They should have. The Nikon d200's image quality will be better than that of the Canon G10, but if you feel you aren't ready for a DSLR right now, and you want to save up to get a new DSLR later, it's fully acceptable.

You can get a brand new D200 for 1,000$ Experiment with the G10, and get a DSLR when you can get it Brand New- with a warranty, or, you could get an upgrade of this camera- such as the D300/ D700- you'll have more money later.
