This is huge milestone for Nikon that happens only once every couple of decades. Nikon's first 35mm camera was its Nikon S rangefinder system of 1946, the world's first hugely popular SLR system was the Nikon F of 1959, and the world's first real DSLR was the Nikon D1 of 1999. This is the biggest thing Nikon has done in this millennium. Collectors: be sure to get yours first for a low serial number!
A legal USA version has a warranty card from Nikon USA. The serial number on the card must match the serial number on your camera (look at the sticker behind the flipping LCD screen), or you have no warranty.

The serial number on the box should match the serial number on your camera, but isn't required. However if it doesn't match, it means you bought from a shady dealer who took cameras out of boxes and then resold them as new.
Always be sure to check your serial numbers while you can still return it, or just don't buy from unapproved sources or at retail so you'll be able to have your camera serviced and get free updated firmware as needed.
Nikon has resolved this by making available corrective service for affected Z 6 and Z 7 cameras free of charge, including the cost of shipping an affected Z 6 and Z 7 camera to Nikon as well as its return, even if your Z 6 or Z 7 camera warranty has expired.Identifying Affected Products and Requesting ServiceTo determine whether your camera is one of those affected, please click the appropriate Check Serial Number button below and enter the serial number for your Z 6 or Z 7 camera as indicated. If your camera is one of those affected, instructions for requesting service, including receiving your free shipping label, will be displayed onscreen.
Canon's own Digital Photo Professional (DPP) is included with every Canon DSLR. It can be downloaded for free from Canon's website, but you must have a valid camera serial number to download it. Apart from the obvious lack of no additional expense, the primary advantage to using DPP is that the same proprietary algorithms used to encode .crw and .cr2 files are used to decode them. It has a fairly full list of features of non destructive adjustments that can be made on a global level including a basic HDR tool. RAW files may be exported as 16 bit TIFFs to other image editors for further adjustment when desired. It features the Digital Lens Optimizer (DLO) which corrects for several lens aberrations (spherical aberration, curvature of field, astigmatism, comatic aberration, sagittal halo, chromatic aberration of magnification, axial chromatic aberration).
Olympus offers Image Viewer 3 for Olympus camera owners. The download will not begin without a camera serial-number filled in a field on the download page. Image Viewer 3 is a nice upgrade from the old Olympus Master 2 and the not-so-old Image Viewer 2. Selection of possible operations is good for RAW and also for images already in JPEG format. When saving to JPEG you can also include IPTC info in the file.
Update: As devices without optical drives that are capable of running their applications are becoming more common, Canon now makes available for download a version of their software suite that does not require a previous version of the disc. You may be required to enter you camera's serial number to complete the download and/or install the software.
The left side of the camera contains easily-accessible ports for the AC Adapter, Video Out, an RS-232C port for connecting to a personal computer, along with the in-camera storage slot for the SmartMedia card.The camera operates in one of six different mode settings: Self-Timer, Setup, Manual Record, Normal (Auto) Record, Playback, and PC Mode. You select which mode you want with the Mode Dial on the rear of the camera. Depending on which mode you select, pressing the Menu/Exe button-also on the rear of the camera-displays a set of menu options that are specific to that mode. As mentioned previously, the 4-direction button is used to scroll through the different menus and options. (We've said it before, but it's worth repeating: We really like camera user interfaces that employ mode dials, as their operation tends to be clearer and more intuitive, and the remaining LCD menus are much less cluttered.)The LCD viewfinder doesn't automatically turn on when in either Manual or Normal (Auto) mode, but does automatically activate whenever you select macro operation. In the normal recording modes, you need to turn it on manually using the Disp button. The LCD does illuminate in Manual record mode, showing the current settings for white balance, exposure compensation, and synchro mode, but doesn't show the image coming from the CCD unless you press the Disp button. (Power consumption is a good bit lower when the LCD is only showing the menu items.) The LCD is always on in Playback mode, even when the external video output is also being used. You can adjust the LCD brightness by pressing the Shift and Disp buttons at the same time to access the LCD brightness control. Then, use the Left/Right arrows on the 4-way control to set the brightness to your liking. When in Setup mode, you can control a number of persistent camera settings to meet your needs. Settings here include image quality, file size, sharpness, auto power-off, frame number in memory, annunciator tone, and date and time. You can also reset the camera to the factory-default settings.Manual record mode lets you capture an image and review it before saving it to the SmartMedia card: After you snap each shot, the just-captured image appears on the LCD screen until you either hit the "Cancel/Back" button to discard it, or the "Menu/Exe" button to save it to the memory card. If you don't save the image before the auto power-off occurs, the image will be lost. (We'd commented on this behavior on other Fuji cameras: Overall, we'd prefer for the default to be for the camera to save the image, rather than discarding it, to prevent possible inadvertent loss of a photo.) As noted earlier, manual mode also lets you set the white balance, exposure settings, flash brightness, and slow-synchro mode when capturing night scenes.Normal (Auto) mode provides basic "point and shoot" functionality. The camera automatically controls the settings needed to provide the best quality capture under the existing conditions. No allowance is made for exposure compensation or white balance adjustment. You can still change image size, resolution, flash mode, and enable the macro mode, however, as well as turn the LCD viewfinder on or off.Playback mode lets you review captured images, and offers a series of operations that you can perform on images stored on the camera's SmartMedia card. The MX-2700 is a bit unusual, in offering several "special effects" that can be applied to images when in playback mode, without having to resort to an external computer. These effects include either rainbow or white-only ("silver") cross patterns applied to highlights in the image and sepia or black & white color effects. Another useful function is the ability to resize images in-camera, from the large 1800x1200 size down to either 1280x1024 or 640x480. (Note that the smaller image sizes have different aspect ratios, so the MX-2700 has to crop some of the original image from either side, to make it fit the shape of the new file size.)PC mode enables the serial port on the camera, to transfer images to a host PC under control of the Mac or Windows software provided by Fuji.Control Enumeration
Manual ModeAs mentioned earlier, Manual mode lets you control a number of camera exposure settings, as well as review captured images on the LCD before storing them to the SmartMedia card. This is in contrast to Normal mode, in which the images are stored automatically. You can change the following camera settings in Manual mode:
As noted earlier, the MX-2700 connects to host computers via a standard "RS-232" serial connection. While entirely functional, like all such interfaces, it's SLOW. We clocked a data-transfer time of about three minutes for a 823K maximum-resolution file, a transfer rate of roughly 4 KBytes/second. This is rather slow, even for a serial port, and the large file sizes the MX-2700 captures only further aggravate the problem. The optional FlashPath floppy-disk adapter (typically available for about $80 or so, as of this writing in June of 1999) can move the same file in only 30 seconds. Even better, Fuji is offering a coupon for a free FlashPath with all their cameras through July 31, 1999. (Given that this review will be on the 'net for at least the next year, most of you will be reading this after the end of this particular promotion. We suspect that there may be other similar offers in the future though...) Card readers that attach to your PC's parallel or USB port work much faster yet, and are often less expensive to boot. The free FlashPath is a great offer, but if you fall outside its time-frame, we'd recommend investing the $40-70 needed for an external card reader.Video OutLike many digicams, the MX-2700 has a video-out port for viewing your images on a standard TV equipped with a direct-video input. When plugged in, it leaves the internal LCD monitor functional (some cameras turn off the internal LCD when driving external video), and mirrors the signal through the video port. We've found this a very handy function for grabbing screen shots of whatever would normally appear on the LCD screen, and it makes for a great way to share images with friends or colleagues. US and Canadian models of the MX-2700 support the NTSC standard, while European models presumably support PAL.PowerThe MX-2700 is a bit different than most digital cameras, in that it uses a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery, rather than the much more common AA cells. The advantages of the LiIon battery pack are that it's very compact for the amount of power it delivers (1100 mAh), has no "memory effect" as do NiCd batteries, and no self-discharge tendency, as do NiMH cells. The only drawback we see is that you can't get replacement batteries in a pinch at the corner drugstore. Besides the battery pack, the MX-2700 includes an AC adapter, which will both power the camera and recharge the battery pack. Fuji gives an official charge time for a fully-discharged battery as 7 hours. An optional external battery charger is available that cuts this time to 2.5 hours. (NOTE: Because the AC adapter for the MX-2700 also functions as an in-camera battery charger, we STRONGLY advise against using any power source other than the official AC adapter. Adapters not designed to charge the particular LiIon batteries used by the MX-2700 could cause severe damage and even a fire hazard!)The MX-2700 is fairly conservative of battery power, particularly with the LCD turned off. As we write this review, we've just begun directly measuring digicam power consumption, and the MX-2700 seems better than many. Like most digicams though, its LCD draws a significant amount of power, and the total energy delivered by the 3.6v/1100mAh battery pack is a fair bit lower than what a set of high-capacity NiMH AA cells can provide (4.8v/1300mAh). Thus, in our own shooting, which used the LCD screen pretty heavily, we found that the battery tended to run down more quickly than we were accustomed to. We recommend using the supplied AC adapter (big kudos to Fuji for including this, normally a $40 option with most digicams) whenever possible, certainly during image downloads to the PC. We'd also suggest buying one or two extra batteries, and keeping them charged and ready. As noted above, the LiIon cells don't lose their charge in storage, so you can charge them in advance, and have them ready when you need them.Included SoftwareThe MX-2700 ships with a basic software package, allowing image acquisition and manipulation, on both Windows and Macintosh platforms. Software on both platforms includes an application called "Picture Shuttle" that handles communications with the camera, for downloading images. Picture Shuttle maintains a "desktop" metaphor, showing the camera and any "albums" it knows about as icons in a desktop-looking window, as seen in the screen shot below. (Screen shots here are borrowed from our MX-600 review, since that camera ships with the same software.) We say "desktop-looking" because it actually is a separate window, and not part of your computer's normal desktop. 2ff7e9595c
