No real issues to date but you already have a D5100 so what feature set improvements are you looking for or changes in IQ?

Smile...pot calling the kettle...as noted by your addition below and in similar cases.   No disrespect but indeed a certain irony. um....does that relate to AF tracking"

That is all normal. The capacity on the LCD doesn't really get accurate until you get near 40% or so filling it up as the number is based on worst case approximations. The r27 number will not...

Very understandable thought process. Thanks for sharing and Good Luck. Looking forward to your progress and pictures.

Ah, very confusing was your choice of wording...it came across as you were again talking about sharpness. Rather than say "I'd get more sharp.." You might have said "my in-focus rate would be...

Not at all...sharp and the event shot have little to do with each other when comparing resolution or even sharpness across formats...all else being equal.  Understand, we've already gotten great...

I've actually had hands on both but not nearly the experience with both as others here. I gather that. Resolution alone might suggest otherwise. Sharpness is after all a subjective...

I didn't not realize and thought your were replying, sorry my bad. Subjective for sure based on reading. Have you had a chance to use both? I have in short spurts and they are indeed both great...

Not really No one said it did not

There are times and places where a protective filter is warranted...up to the user to decide. Also note the digital in not entirely immune to the effects of UV.... but you can only really see a...

It does have a DR advantage in the high ISO area. Many of the noise pattern issues can easily be resolved if one learns NR Ditto True that.  Going back to D600 vs 5DmrkIII, the price dif is...

I think so Those who update It does get funny and a bit par for the course  :)

Perhaps, he didn't seem one to make stuff up though. Practically, at that high an ISO, I don't think the difference is significant or even that relevant regards the OP's quest. Simply noticeable...

Nor am I True...but the fact still remains. The Update did have a measurable impact and was designed to specifically address AF issues. I can't imagine Nikon/Canon/Sony etc.  issuing inaccurate...

I don't doubt that. Are you at work? You indicated, in the past, your monitor there is pretty lacking. The difference is actually obvious but not big in practical terms.  We do not know...

Agree on that. Does still seem to be some variance but the improvmnets are well documented now. True that.  Also possible that the improvement is actually real as well. Nikon indicates that the...

Only to a very very small degree, according to the folks here who use both on a regular basis. In terms of tracking and such, the D800 seems to be a better choice. I would think they would know as...

When viewed full screen, the difference is obvious. Practically, not so much though. Actually you should use "bicubic smoother" and not the Photoshop default of Bicubic" for...

Reading the testimonials from the folks here who use both regularly, that doesn't seem to be the same. Especially post firmware update.

Not really as the listed guide number is adjusted to look a bit more powerful when indeed...not so much 600EX-RT GN:   60m at ISO 100 with lens at 200mm SB-910 GN: 34m at ISO 100, with lens at...
