Talk:Nikon F6

message: I reverted the last change by an anon IP user.  I think what a 'vertical grip' is is being misunderstood.  The vertical grip is not the vertically aligned grip that one uses when the camera is in landscape orientation, which comes standard with the F6.  Rather, the vertical grip is a horizontal one running along the bottom of the camera used for holding the camera in portrait ("vertical") orientation.  The F6 does not have one of these integrally; instead, it is part of the functionality of the battery pack.  Thus, it is accurate to state that this is a battery pack AND vertical grip.

message: I'm currently considering editing the section on the CAM-2000 AF system. While it is true that the system was designed in conjunction with the D2H/X digital SLR cameras with DX format sensors, its autofocus frame coverage is in my experience for a 35mm format professional SLR dating back before the advent of DSLRs. Examples of what I'm talking about are the Canon EOS-1n, EOS-1V (which was my primary film body prior to the F6), and Nikon F5. The trend has also continued with "Full Frame" Digital SLRs, such as the Nikon D3, Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II, and 1Ds Mark III.   -nikonmadness
: I have owned the D1H, D2X and I currently own the F5, F100. I remember the AF outer sensors on the D1X being quite far out towards the edges of the image (which is something I happened to like) when compared to the F5 I'd owned previously. It seemed obvious to me that they had taken the F100/F5 AF sensor and put it straight into the D1H without resizing it for the smaller imager. I used to believe that this was to save on costs and/or development time. With the D2X (which had more AF sensors), the additional sensors were spaced wide as well, which was a bit inconclusive to me at the time (I used to think that the AF sensor was exclusive to the D2X, I didn't consider the F6 at the time). So what did they do with the F6 (which is contemporary to the D2X)? I don't own an F6 myself, but I've looked at pictures of the F6 viewfinder on the web:

: D2X/D1H: http://cdn-10.nikon-cdn.com/kdb/focusscreen/focusingscreens.jpg
: F5: http://mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/NikonF5/focusing/finderF5.gif
: I must say that it appears that the AF sensor arrangement is physically unchanged between the F6 and the D2X, despite their different image/imager sizes. Did they decide to design only one AF sensor arrangement for the F6/D2X to save cost, again? What of the next model generation?

: On the D300: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D300S/ZD300SVFCALLOUTS.PNG
: We see the same pattern here as with the previous cameras. Ie that the sensor arrangement/pattern is not adapted for DX/FX cameras; instead, there is one physical AF sensor for each generation and it is not adapted for imaging/imager size. 
: I don't think it's accurate to say that the F6 arrangement is inherited from the D2X though. It must have been developed with both cameras in mind. I'll rephrase the article slightly to reflect this.
