    Parking at Parks and Printed Parking Pass from Resorts

    Historically the booth attendant saw the printed pass on your dash and waived you in. I was at the AoA in Dec of 2017 and I had to ask for a printed pass, which they provided. I just wanted to know if they will still provide one if asked.

    Parking at Parks and Printed Parking Pass from Resorts

    Do the new resort parking fees cover parking at the parks? Are the resorts still providing the printed parking passes? I've always found the printed passes to be more convenient than sticking my arm out of my car and waiting for a lot attendant to scan my band. Thanks

    Where in WDW was this picture taken?

    I believe it was taken somewhere in the MGK. Faces blurred for privacy. Thanks.

    Nikon Walkaround Lens for WDW

    I've used my Nikon 18-200 (Version I) @ WDW on my D50, D90, D7000, and D3300. It is not the sharpest lens in my bag, but you can't beat the versatility. I sold the D50, D90, and D7000 and kept the 18-200. That should tell you something about the lens. I also have a D800. It is the lens I...

    Anyone have a Nikon D3200?

    I am looking at getting a D3200 as a backup/light weight alternative to my D800. I am pretty sure that the D3200's viewfinder does not display the "Auto ISO" value used in P/S/A/M mode. Is that correct? If I set a base ISO of 100 in Aperture Priority mode and the camera Auto ISO bumps it...

    My opinion on camera gear over my last trips to WDW

    I've done WDW with Nikon DX, Nikon FX, and Micro 4/3 equipment. To be honest the Micro 4/3 equipment is more than I need for WDW and it is very small and light.

    Good, Inexpensive Point and Shoot Camera

    This one is very small and surprisingly good: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B5HE3UU/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p421_d1_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0KEJ24Q6SDW7PYG8QBAX&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1389517282&pf_rd_i=507846

    Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom

    This depends on flash type, speed of operation, control of settings, and more.

    Nikon D7100 Review

    Interesting. If I still owned a D7000 I don't think I would upgrade to this model.

    Pictures per Day at WDW

    Are you going for a family vacation or for a photo outing? My wife is not the type to sit there and wait for me to setup a shot. She feels that is a waste of valuable vacation time. I typically average about 200 per day with very little bracketing. On my last trip I only averaged about...

    Canon: T3 or SX260?

    I'm a Nikon full frame SLR user, but I do carry a P&S fairly often when I don't want to bring my big gear. I tried the SX260 and I did not like it. The flash position bothered me, it was soft in the corners, outdoor images had too much CA in high contrast areas, and it tended to overexpose...

    bringing gear into park- first trip!

    I'd take your body with your 18-200 and I'd leave the rest at home. You may also want to consider bringing the 50 and the flash for shots around the resort, but I would not carry them around the parks.

    How many photos did you shot on your last WDW vacation?

    Darn D600! Why do you have to be a duster?

    People on DPR are still reporting this issue with both newly serviced and brand new examples. Amazon has also been known to send out 'old' serial numbers.

    Darn D600! Why do you have to be a duster?

    I believe this to be a model specific issue. I don't think that every FX camera has it as bad as the D600 seems to.

    Darn D600! Why do you have to be a duster?

    My old D7000 developed that issue after about 5000 shots. I cleaned it a few times and eventually gave up because the spots kept returning. I sent it in for warranty service. Nikon tried to fix it once and the oil spots came right back after they 'cleaned' it even though I specifically asked...

    iPhone 5 vs Budget Compact

    The phone pic was taken in a very bright room with a lot of day light. The Sony P&S picture appears to have been taken in a much darker room. I do not agree with your analysis of these two images.

    iPhone 5 vs Budget Compact

    I have IE and Firefox on my desktop. Both let me right-click images and view either 'Properties' or 'Image Info', which returns the image dimensions. Downsizing is very kind to iPhone images, they will look much worse in full resolution. You already decided that photo 1 is best and I don't...

    iPhone 5 vs Budget Compact

    It is as simple as right-clicking the image in your browser and then clicking properties. The top two are 960 and the third is 1280. You could also just download the 3 images to your local drive. I can understand why you favor the Phone if you think the first two are 'reduced' and the third...
