The Tammy is by and far the best value, except that the bokeh is a bit harsh. I'm finding myself more and more drawn to the way the Sigma 17-50 does backgrounds, except that you would be giving up...

With my old D80 on a weekend in Pike's Place Market.

I tend to be more limiting when shooting for myself than when I'm shooting for others. Thinking about having to pick through dozens of 5-10 frame sets of near identical images tends to keep me from...

Amp glow is almost always more predominant on one side of the sensor, partly because of the heat of the surrounding circuitry. Look up Hogan's D80 review, that thing had amp glow like an...

I was just thinking about that, how you still see lots of folks on the street with D80 and D90's (And T3i's and T2i's) but the only people I know with D7000's or up are the few hardcore...

My feeling is that it's a combination of the two. If it were just 24mp, or if it were just no AA, it might not be that compelling of an upgrade, but both put together give a tangible, if sometimes...

If you are shooting outdoors and don't need the extra dof isolation that f/2.8 gives you, then try the 70-200 f/4. It's incredibly sharp throughout the zoom range and won't overwhelm your d7100....

I sort of feel the same way. It's not the outright resolution that you notice, but the quality of the resolution that you can eek out. Hence the review comment about being a good JPEG camera....

This surely isn't a good sign for the camera business. Nikon must have booked the sale a long time ago when they shipped into their distribution channel, but if a two-generation old camera is...

You missed the time when DPR was still based in the UK and their filtering software would prevent post from going up if you had 'cameralabs' in the heading or body text. Not very cricket... So most...

Translation: "From here (24mp) on afterwards, all sensors will eventually remove the AA filter and we will look back on 2013 wondering what all the fuss was about." I still think the real benefit...

Recent podcast from Planet Money. Go to 13:10 about trying to buy a camera from the Bitcoin store. Let's just say that rapidly inflating virtual currency = rampant hyper deflation in Bitcoin...

Insert the letter "t" into "Sigma" and that pretty much sums up a lot of people's feelings about their old lenses. But that's mostly in the past, with newer lenses, the Nikon's are almost unfailing...

The obvious one to keep, as you alluded to is the 60, is it's the only one that does well what it's supposed to do. The other obvious one to keep is the 70-300VR, as the 55-200 is redundant with...

Have you tried GIMP? I wouldn't call it intuitive, but it is better than its early versions and it is free. The big change was when they let you get away from the CS2 style floating menus and to...

The reds and blues on the D40 are deeper and farther to the left on a histogram. Also, it does stand out as the one with the least amount of DR, though the overall rendition is quite pleasing....

You just described Marianne Oelund to a T, except that she doesn't work for Nikon. :-)

Except that you don't need a login name to read these forums, so it's next to impossible to know who's reading what. It is easy to know that they are indeed reading, it would be against human...

They could have easily solved that my making the 2nd finger lip on the front and the right edge of the thumb rest more prominent, but for some reason Nikon just feels as though each model has to be...

It takes a little getting used to, but it has some practical advantages. The D7000 in your hand doesn't feel as planted as the D300, but once you've got it up to eye level, the overall right hand...
