  • Replied in Nope...
    Given the the exercise of no budget, I'd suggest the 5d mk3 is a much better competitor to the d800.  It has a trivally higher pixel count and a slightly lower DXO performance, but then again the...
  • Replied in yes it is
    Read it again and pay attention this time. The d800 didn't finish first in some tests, it finished first in EVERY test except for ISO where it was 2nd to the d3s and in color depth where it...
  • Given the money is not part of the equation, I too would suggest a Nikon d800 or d800e.  Best performing DSLR out there.  You can read the specs and reviews, so I'll skip all that. For a new born...
  • Now you're just being silly. The d3200 is 1.5 bits better at color depth, .8 exposure values better at dynamic range, ISO is approximately 1.67 stops better. The same is true of Canon except that...
  • The RX100 is a great camera but it does not even come close to beating entry level DSLRs with a kit lens.  The sensors in the entry level cameras are generally the same as (or very similar to) the ...
  • Stephen's advice was correct.  But I'll add my 2 cents. Since you are used to film and that control layout you'll likely find the entry level cameras frustrating.  Cramped ergonomic, menu diving to...
  • Begin by learn ing exposure.  What does ISO, Aperture and shutter speed do. Here is a nice book on it: http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Exposure-Photographs-Digital-Updated/dp/0817463003 and a...
  • Hi, perhaps you could share what lead to your short listing thre OM-D E-M5?  It is a brilliant camera.  If it was just a specification sheet gran then there are a few which will out perform it and...
  • Unless you consider the extreme end of "compact" cameras which include cameras with the same or larger sensor as the d90, there is no compact camera which can match a d90 and 18-105.  There is not...
  • No, the key is to control the light in the shot.  Post processing is what you do after you take a photo.  If you take a bad photo PP will not turn it in to a good one.  If you make minor mistakes...
  • Use the lens hood.  It cuts glare and increases contrast.  Keep shutter speeds high so as to eliminate motion blur.  You can reduce ISO noise in post but blurry stays blurry no matter what you do. ...
  • This is not correct.  The 150mm will NOT give you better magnifcation.In bold since this is the 3rd time in the past few days I have seen this error on here. They all give identical magnifcation. ...
  • Hi, What are you looking for with those lenses?  If you read that those are cheap "wide angles" that is true for cameras with a larger sensor like the d600 and d800.  A wide-angle for your camera...
  • I've used the older Sigma 105 & 150 a fair bit and the Nikon 105vr.  I have only tried out the newer 150 os in a store (never in the field).  I suggest the 150os or 105vr (in that order).  Both are...
  • I live on an island out in the Atlantic ocean and my service experiance is ok.  Mailing added 4-5 days in total.  (I'm guessing) since total repairs were 6-7 days.
  • As he generally does Mike nailed it.  But just to throw my 2 cents in. Either of the big two will do anything well and no matter where you go in the long term either system will do what you want. ...
  • While it is unfortunate that independents can't repair Nikon gear, Nikon is very good to repair their own without much of a cost.  I have used them twice and have not paid anything.  So the ability...
  • It is a great selection and the one on your list which gives you by far the best image quality and future flexibility.  I think you will not regret it.  I own and love the older and heavier d700...
  • The Sigma 20mm 24mm and 28mm all at f/1.8 are all FX.  I have owned all 3.  The 20mm is generally considered the weakest of them.  But even that lens got very good review on DXO.  The Nikon 28mm...
  • groan, feel free to slap yourself for that one.
