In reply to chironNYC, Mar 30, 2012

Haha! I knew I would get called a troll....by a troll.

I have friends whom shoot Canon. We NEVER talk about the lack of "sparkle" (lol) in any of our images. Pixel-peepers like to argue over minutiae and bang their heads against the wall while real photographers share their passion.

Get some passion and start taking photos!

I guess you have to make up imaging terms when you have a moot point.

Anywho. Seems some people on the Canon forum, trolls or whomever, can't seem to talk enough about Nikon cameras...on the Canon forums...odd.

Here are some D800 image samples with low micro-contrast and no sparkle.
