How does the 6010L perform in 'moonlight' only? Trying to figure if 2Lux sensitivity is enough.

My best guess is "not very well". The three 6010's I use are in areas where some kind of lighting is on during the night. The area outside of this lighting would be similar to a typical camera with the infrared turned off.

Sensitivity to darkness is excellent. I comes out when light is very low, but not pitch black dark.

Mr. Cain, I agree with Sharkman, yours must be defective. I use my XL50 significantly more (especially right after I got it) than you, and I've been going on the supplied batteries for several weeks, and still daylight bright. Too bright in some situations in fact. My friend bought the XL100 over the weekend, and comparitavely they are about the same other than a slight tint difference. Where I prefer simplicity, he chooses enhanced function. For the money, there is no better light at 100 lumens IMHO.

Confirmed, I have the D7100 and ML-L3 and they work together. You can configure the remote to do 2s delay, immediate shot, Mirror Up, or turn it off, which appears to be the default. If it doesn't work, be sure to enable it under Menu &gt; Shooting Menu &gt; Remote control mode (ML-L3).

I have to turn off the two fluorescent tubes behind me to get full range of sensing. in the vertical plane. It will work in ordinary light but it is IR and any heat sources can swamp the sensors causing false readings. The movement range is set using a profile editor (the default one is pretty good to start with). There are profiles for many of the games that support the device, but I can't comment on their usefulness as I don't play them. It works for me in Elite dangerous (excellent) and X-Plane (also excellent). I find that the sense of immersion in the game is tremendously improved.

i just got my 8000 series yesterday. We watched a scifi blu ray last night and I am thinking I am going to return this. The backlighting comes out of the corners and was not something my family paid much attention to, but I clearly noticed it. On very dark seens, the spotlight casting comes from the middle and corners of both the top and bottom. A bit frustrating...

It works good on 60. The picture and focus is not the best, but I use mine for vamming Morgan silver dollars. I bought mine elsewhere for cheaper.

I have a 395nm Flashlight from Cybertech with 9 UV LEDS (Its a 3 in one with a reg flashlight, red laser and UV ) it will detect dry stains, but not wet ones. There is a good bit of purple haze at 395 though it works. 365-375 shows awesome, and I am waiting to test and make a comparison with a 380-385 one

I'm already signed up for the pre-order, and the only thing that worries me is the low ISO/daylight performance. From the sample shots floating around the net, the high ISO/low-light images seem fantastic. The daylight captures, on the other hand, seem good, but not great. That said, I have not seen tests done in a controlled environment, by a reviewer I trust. The other thing to consider that this is the first mass manufactured, consumer level back-lit still camera sensor. Will there be QC issues? I betting 'no', but who really knows. Sony does have experience with their similar Exmor R sensors for camcorders, which is comforting. All in all, given it's small size and fantastic feature set, it looks like winner. May not have the absolute best picture quality, but that what dSLRs are for...

I don't know for certain, since I haven't used the illuminated version. But I would check the reviews of that particular model very carefully, and make sure that you can adjust the brightness all the way down. A common complaint with illuminated gear is that the brightness may be adjustable, but that even a the lowest setting it is still too bright. I can tell you that I've never been tempted by the illuminated version because I've never had a problem seeing the crosshairs on the regular version, and I've used it everywhere from city center sidewalk astronomy to radically dark skies deep in the Mojave desert. It seems to me that for bright stuff you don't need illlumination, and that for dim stuff the illumination might compete with the faint light from the target, BUT take that with a huge grain of salt since I am basically speaking from ignorance.

I have been using the Tamron for astro for a while now. I am very happy with the results. I stop mine down to f8 so it is a little slow but works fine. I wish I could post an image here but do not see a way to do so. Moon shots should be no problem.

If you want a good technical review of both, check out Rtings.com. They reviewed the LN5700 last year and will have their review up of the LB6300 tomorrow. The review of the LB5800 series is already up and there are noticeable differences between that series and the LN5700 in terms of motion blur, uniformity, and bright room performance. All are important elements in terms of picture quality, and grey uniformity is particularly important if you want to minimize the "dirty screen effect" inherent to many LCD panel TVs (of course this can vary within the same model unit as well). If the review is similar for the LB6300 series as it is for the LB5800 series, I also think the LB6300 series is the easy choice unless your biggest concern is how it performs in a bright or sunlit room. Hope this helps.

I tested this model, a mid-range Samsung 60" LED, and a Visio 60" LED. I can't recall particular slowness in changing channels. The overriding issue is that these simply are not clear and crisp. You can view them in Best Buy Magnolia rooms or other hi-fi stores. It is a foundational issue. My sis went with a plasma (LG i think) too and returned it. From the reviews and ratings I thought this would be wonderful. It wasn't.

The light is spread onto 4x the surface. That is why autofocus is difficult. Sharpness and contrast suffer with a T/C. I have a Sigma 170/500. Results are ok if not to picky.

No there's one plug two switches on the light bar itself one switch for moonlight and the other for light. Both can be active simultaneously so in my opinion a simple plug and play timer would not work correctly for turning off light then turning on moonlight and vice versa

I haven't found that to be an issue. The night setting works well for that.

This question was asked a few months ago, but I'm wondering if it's changed yet: is this model truly the 2.0? With 1, 2, & 3hr settings plus intermittent setting? It says it's the 2.0 model, but shows the old model. Anyone get one recently who can verify or even better, upload a pic? Thanks.
