When shooting action the camera shouldn't be put in the position to have to pick what subject to focus on. You want to select the initial AF point on the subject and either use that point...

Mace for when someone tries to steal your expensive camera.

On the 14-24 it's significant enough to put the image OOF, esp when one is focusing at/near infinity.

Check out this post and thread.

The DxO data and its derivatives are only quantitative measures and don't capture qualitative aspects of noise like banding, impulse noise, color fidelity, shadow tints, amp glow, etc...

I've had both cameras at the same time and the IQ wrt to shadow pushing, color fidelity, and banding were identical.

D5200 was used as a proxy for the D7100 in the original thread I posted the images to - forgot to mention that here, sorry. WB was adjusted in LR4.

The D7000/D5100 retains color fidelity very well at +5EV pushes even with the much maligned ACR/LR. Here are base ISO and base ISO -5EV images. D5100 Base ISO D5100 Base ISO (exposed -5EV and...

That is the point of this example. The only way to protect the highlights in this image is to shoot at base ISO and then raise the shadows to recreate the midtones. That wouldn't be possible...

ACR, with my own profile. It's not a profile hue twist issue but mostly a shadow tinting issue. I can sometimes get acceptable results with ACR's shadow tinting slider but only if the color...

I posted this on a DR discussion @ Canon Rumors a month back: I would agree that nearly every High DR scene can be captured using techniques that don't require a High DR sensor. But one benefit of...

Yeah, in my testing both the quantity and quality of noise is worse for a 100->3200 vs an 800->3200. That's not to say 100->3200 is horrible but for certain scenes I've found a definitive...

IMO the two biggest benefits of ISOless shooting are dynamic range and not having to worry about image brightness at the time of shooting. For the latter if you're shooting in conditions that would...

I very rarely shoot weddings (only for friends) and this weekend I shot my first with a pair of D800s, one which I purchased when it came out a year ago and a refurbished unit I recently bought for...

The particular focal length multiplier used for MFA is not really part of the method even though many times it is described that way. The best advice is to use a distance where you shoot at most....

In these discussions it's helpful to separate issues specific to a MFA tuning method vs the normal MFA variations that occur regardless of the MFA tuning method used. Regarding the latter those...

The one image setting that affects raw image data in a non-obvious way is Active D-Lighting, which changes the metering/exposure the camera uses when on..
