You probably can clean it. It should not be a scratch.

If it has the same mirror there is 1/3 stop of light loss. Sony cameras always lag a bit in iso performance regardless of A or E anyway. You need to look at other attributes than ISO which is ...

But the info is there

Jpeg is not the bench mark for color accuracy. All colors can be tweaked but NOT -29 or so forth. A100 had a CCD sensor. Shoot raw

Main issue with SLT is light loss reaching the sensor. It can be the deal breaker for some but if you have A type lenses then it is a good camera for you. At $3200 I am not sure if Sony is going ...

DSLR? It shows your lack of understanding of the technology. You could have said small dedicated camera, compact or mirrorless. SLR stands for single lens reflex. A camera is as good as its sensor ...

These types of images to examine a lens is silly! You need to set up your test on a flat field subject  and shot starting at f4 and the rest. As of what you posted I see no decentering at f5.6.

I have found tweaking the in camera wb is like opening a can of warm. Some shots ok but others look totally unnatural. People tend to like blue over greenish white as well as reddish/pinkish skin tone.

If 200-500 lens works fine then it is not your body! Clean the contacts on both lens & body, reset the lens calibration file or turn it off and try on a stationary subject with camera on tripod.

Looks good to me! There is a protocol to test a lens that is more reliable to determine if a lens a defective with certainty. Nikon 50mm/f1.8D is a sharp lens but it has some corner softness that ...

Do you really think 36 mp was a gimmick? I can understand if one has no applications for it but to call a camera that actually improved the iso performance relative to pixel size and hence DR ...

Finally Nikon has listen to photographers need! :-)

No I have no interest in neither one.

I meant actually to type "high iso performance". And it is better in that respect. Have you looked at some samples in controlled environment?

Except that D5 is tuned for high performance and far better than D500. Looking at dpr studio samples, it is evident even at iso 3200. Not to mention that D5 is a FF camera. It boils down to ...

I agree. Each has its own use. D5 is pro built for ruggedness, handling and hi iso shooting. D500 is a babie D5 tuned for lower iso and not as rugged. D8xx is for for best IQ at lower iso where ...

It has been a while (3 yrs) that I quit spending thousands for incremental changes. Unless there would come a huge step up which I doubt I will not cave in. D800e and Sony a7 are more than I need ...

Was this photo intended for weight/health consideration?  And Being healthy has no bearing with being within certain parameters of physical being. There are certainly a good number of individuals ...

You can profile the LCD the way you like in new Nikons. "Greener" is all relative. My canons were redder.
