So, is there any sharpness advantage to this non-VR lens over the new 70-300 VR lens? It looks like if I get a D5600 or D7500, I'll be good to go with the new 70-300 lens.  I really like the ...

Thanks much! Is this the lens you are talking about? I get confused with all the nomenclature on all these lenses. https://www.amazon.com/Nikon-NIKKOR-70-300mm-4-5-6-3G-Cameras/dp/B01KJ8UMKK# So, ...

OK, how much better is that lens, in image quality, than my current 70-300 as shown in my gear list?  My current 70-300 seems to be pretty darn good with my D5100. I do like the idea of being able ...

Thanks, interesting.   Good point about putting the money saved toward lenses. A few questions: Is it your opinion that the D5500 sensor is essentially equal to that of the D7200? What about the ...

Yes, I've thought a lot about going with a D750.  It's mainly a cost issue.   First, you are looking at around $2500 just to get the camera and one lens.  Secondly, I would likely need to purchase ...

I think you are correct. I read this from the Imaging Resource review and understood it wrong: "Note that the D7500 dropped the D7200's mechanical AI meter coupling lever, which means ...

Thanks.   Maybe I misunderstood what I read, but I thought a report on the D7500 said that it lost the ability to auto focus with those older lenses.

Thanks.  I've just been reading more on the D7500 and now leaning that way.  I really like what I'm reading about the high iso performance with the 20.9 mp sensor of the D500.  And if I get some ...

Thanks for the replies!   Hmm.... lots of recommendations for the current 5000 series here.  I assume that would mean the D5500 or D5600. I thought I read that the D7200 had higher dynamic range ...

I shoot landscapes, wildlife, family pictures, some race cars in action.   I haven't so far done a lot of action burst photography.  My D5100 has been pretty good, but I feel like I can get ...

Thanks, Dave. Hmm.... I took a look in there and everything looks pristine. I would be afraid that anything I did would actually introduce more dust than already there. The only possibility would ...

"Ahh, nothing hits the spot like fresh Rocky Mountain stream water".

So, it seems 15 megapixels is plenty! Great shot.

I'll give you a bump, as I am not impressed with landscape shots from my D5100, and am looking around now.

Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks.

That is, I assume the problem is focus.  It seems like for the last few days, my shots are just not sharp, but rather blurry or out of focus.  Now, the camera seems to "think" it is focusing ...

After years of jpeg shooting, I'm now shooting RAW + jpeg and trying to get into post-processing my photos for better results.  But I have no idea which program would be the best overall for me.  ...

Yes, those are elk, and they are almost always grazing in the afternoons there around the Mammoth information center, and they are completely oblivious to humans and vehicles.   They appear to be ...

I was able to take a jaunt through Yellowstone NP and was lucky to see a bit of wildlife, most impressively a grizzly sow and her cub rooting around in a ravine near the road just south of ...
