No articulating LCD, why won't Nikon put this highly useful feature on their top line cameras?
No histogram in live view option, can only be brought up in picture review.
Short battery life when turned off, seems OK when out shooting for a day.
Too many short timer offs. No choice for longer times when using remote shutter at a bird feeder etc.
Mode dial lock releases, both unnecessary and annoying.
Jumps back to default settings too easily, don't know why, every so often it resets to normal jpgs. with no raw.
Camera menus are clumsy and there are 58 symbols used although the "My Menu" lets you set up commonly needed items.
Higher ISO settings won't show on XMF data, a common complaint on Nikons as they use "Hi 2" instead of a number.
No Copyright Symbol in the pix info settings, once you have 58, what's one more?
No internal Wifi or GPS which is standard on many lower priced cameras.
Cords and plugs and chargers not compatible with other current Nikon Products.
No 1920x1080 60p movie mode.
I can manage most of those items but there are a few worries there.
These are my worries from your list....
- Short battery life when turned off, seems OK when out shooting for a day. - Very bad news for me.
- Too many short timer offs. No choice for longer times when using remote shutter at a bird feeder etc. - This is really annoying as they should have more options, and a No time out option.
- Jumps back to default settings too easily, don't know why, every so often it resets to normal jpgs. with no raw. - OMG, horrible!!!.
- Camera menus are clumsy and there are 58 symbols used - Annoying
- No Copyright Symbol in the pix info settings, once you have 58, what's one more? - Use this as it saves me in my post processing for pictures I sell but is not a huge deal just an annoyance.
- No 10 pin cord instead have a funny USB like (but not USB) connector. - I do have a GPS unit that has exchangeable leads so this doesnt worry me too much but it would be nice to also trigger the camera using my other electronic devices e.g. PocketWizards.
