Oh, I didn't mean to imply you were polite. Sorry if I came across in an abrasive manner. I just wanted to point out that in RAW the D7100 compares favorably with the nex-7. However, Nikon's...

I just looked at the studio comparison and the NEX-7 doesn't clearly beat the D7100 at any ISO in RAW. I'm not saying the D7100 is better, just that it is focused a little forward of where the...

I also modified the yellow butterfly photo in a similar way. Again, I'm not saying it's better, just showing you some post processing to help increase perceived sharpness.

I think the shots are sharp, but sometimes you need a little local contrast to make things stand out a bit more. I hope you don't mind that I downloaded your full size image of the white butterfly...

Best Buy has "price in cart" of the t4i + 18-135 STM for 798.00 USD.

I agree with you. It's very irritating to use a dongle. I really missed having a GPS when I traveled to NYC last year. I can see it as a very useful feature if I want to know the exact location...

That sounds like the perfect travel kit. How are you liking the 16-85? I've used the 70-300 a lot, so I know it's a good lens. -Kelly

Given the very shallow DOF, the sharpness is very good for the parts that are near the plane of focus. Nicely done.

Right, it would have been more accurate for me to say AF-S rather than G.

And????

I'm very happy with my refurb D800. No focus issues of any kind. Really, no complaints at all. -Kelly

The D3200 and D3100 are great little cameras. I'm sure you'll like either one. What type of Nikkor lenses do you have? If you have non-G versions, they won't autofocus the d3100/d3200/d5100.  I too...

The noise will look nearly the same if you resize the D3200 and D3100 images to the same size. I wouldn't worry too much about that. With regard to the "dried grass" part of the scene, the focal...

Excellent to hear it's working great for you. The D600 is a great camera.

Take any sharpness results with a grain of salt when looking at the DPR test scene. For instance, when comparing the NEX-7 and D7100 raws, the NEX-7 certainly has parts of the scene that are...

Pretty good. I would try to lighten up underneath the eyes. The background is distracting. It's good you made the volleyball part of the scene in #7, but because it's blurry, it detracts from the...

That cracks me up. I'm the same way.

I've compared images on a high ppi display right next to a low ppi display and the difference can be striking.

Right. There's more to IQ than detail.
