The difference between 55 and 135 is significant, but 135 to 200, not so much.  Nikon has a focal length tool on their website where you can compare the different focal lengths.  I think if you had...

I actually did send mine back and bought another.  It does the same thing, but after seeing that it is the nature of the beast and not a defect I decided to live with it and I'm glad I did.  I have...

I had a ball shooting the killer whales! My daughter was ready to jump in with them!  It was a very overcast day, but the colors are still pretty vivid...better, sunnier weather does make a...

I was in the same boat...couldn't decide between the A57 and A77.  I've used a D90 for the last four years and had been itching for a change.  The D7000 just didn't do it for me so I bought both of...

Thanks...you're right.  I thought that's what I was doing but I got it now.  I appreciate it!

I downloaded the trial version of topaz de-noise but I can't figure out how to activate it or even locate it on my computer. I'm running Aperture 3.  All I can find is the quick start guide, but no...

Very impressive!  I don't see how you could have done any better.  Just curious, what lens did you use?  I just bought an A57 with kit 18-135 last week and absolutely love the camera, but I don't...

So, does anyone know what's normal for this lens?  I bought as a kit with the A57 and I'm still well within the return period for Amazon but I do love the camera and lens combo otherwise....

I just spent about 30 minutes chatting with a Sony rep but got nowhere.  I love the A57 but I'm very discouraged by the sluggish autofocus at the long end.  I've walked all around my house (inside...

I didn't see this thread when I started a new one this morning, but I just got an A57 with kit 18-135 lens and it does the same thing. It's funny, as I was testing around the house I was just...

On the D90 I'm using the kit 18-105.

I just got my A57 over the weekend and I'm very impressed. Image quality is great and I'm surprised, but low light high ISO is considerably better than my D90. The only negative I can find at all...

Very nice! I'll bet you didn't miss your DSLR a bit. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for all your replies and your points are well taken. I agree that 125 shots is not enough to make an informed decision, however, even though Amazon has a very liberal return policy I...

That's the kind of info I wanted to hear. I did the same thing (set the D7000 identically to the D90) and got very different results.Thanks for replying.

I've been using my D90 for nearly 4 years but kept eyeing the D7000 since its release. I couldn't justify the price to upgrade, but when the price dropped to $1000 I pulled the trigger. I kept it...

How would you rate the video quality and ease of use between your A57 and FZ150?

Thanks so much for all the advice and input!
