I mean IDGAF I just start it up and do other poo poo but I was shocked at how unoptimized it was.

Nobody else got the email Friday that Nikon introduced the D7500? Annoying video: http://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-pr...T_RID=118237768 Web page: http://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-pr...T_RID=118237768 "Class leading image quality, ISO range, image processing and metering equivalent to the award-winning D500 Large 3.2” 922K dot, tilting LCD screen with touch functionality 51-point AF system with 15 cross-type sensors and group-area AF paired with up to 8 fps continuous shooting capability 4K Ultra HD and 1080p Full HD video with stereo sound, power aperture control, auto ISO, 4K UHD Time-Lapse and more 100-51,200 ISO Expandable to 1,640,000" Body only, $1250USD If the high ISO is as clean as the 7200 at its high range that will be a nice step up. Video duration still limited to 30 minutes (29'59")

If their claim is correct (equivalent to D500), it will be. My wife has a 7200, I have a 500, the 500 is noticeably better. They did claim that the ISO range was equivalent, though, and not that IQ at high ISO was. So could be better, might be the same.

As someone with both a D7200 and D500 (though I've now only had the D500 for just over a week) I will say that in most cases the D500's image quality is slightly better than the D7200. The autofocus is hilariously better and faster. However in perfect conditions (a still subject in good light) the extra 4 million or so pixels of the D7200 do make a difference and I like the fine details on those images while zoomed in better than the D500 (which look... "rougher" I guess?)

I have been using the Nikon 105mm f2.8 G AF-S VR IF ED Micro Nikkor lens for quite a while now and the one thing that really bothers me is that it has really noticeable focus creep: as soon as I release the back button focus button the scene starts sliding out of focus. Has anyone else experienced this? Is that something the nice chaps at the NPS centre can do something about?

I've never gotten a Tamron lens before, would this be a bad idea for my D3400? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1345956-REG/tamron_afb028n_700_18_400mm_f_3_5_6_3_di_ii.html

It's gonna depend on what you're wanting to do. It's an awfully big range, which usually means a compromise on one of the ends, and the aperture isn't fixed so not particularly fast on the tele end. If you need one lens to cover everything rather than a selection though, it might do what you need it to.

I have the kit 18-55, and Nikkor 55-200 and the 35mm prime, so a good range already but an all-in-one lens is extremely attractive for that price point to be honest.

Hello. Just posted this in the DSLR thread but leperfish refefed me here. Just bought the Nikon D3400 with the 2 kit lenses from store. My very first camera. Pull into parking lot in Boston and there's an older guy with a construction shirt on taking pictures of some buildings. Get to talking to him for 10 minutes and come to find out he takes pictures for construction sites when they're doing blasting in the area - takes on average 500 a day. He's been shooting with Nikons for 50 years. Such a weird coincidence I was sitting there with the unopened box on my lap. Totally just got me excited about photography after kind of being like "wow I just spent a lot of money on something I think I'll love but I'm not positive" Reading through the manual. Wicked excited. Hopefully gonna use it after work

If you go down the tripod road, buy a real one and not a toy that actually doesn't really help at all but make you wonder why you wasted $80 on it. The 35 1.8 is good. I eventually sold mine when I got the 18-35 1.8, and I preferred the 50 1.8 personally, but it's a pretty fab way of getting good quality fast glass cheap and the aperture difference between it and your kit lenses will be evident when you're in low light. Especially if you get one second hand, so yeah buy the dudes above me.

Yeah the only thing I bought new is my D7100 (it had only been out a month or so), and my 18-35 which somehow qualified for both a stores black Friday discount AND the Sigma black Friday discount. Everything else has been second hand, and not had a problem with anything. Photographers who buy decent enough quality gear generally seem to take care of it (or it ends up on shelves gathering dust until they realize they could at least make some money back from it...)

I didn't mind buying new if only for the fact I could go to the store (Hunt's in Mass, shoutout Brian) and knew I could be talked into leaving with something. If I was going to go the used route I think I would have just waited weeks while looking while not really knowing what to be looking for. In the future will definitely go used route when I have a better idea of what I want/need and can better search or something idk

New 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6 with VR is out: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1341603-REG I think I'm gonna pick one up, super cheap and looks fun!

That does sound fun, and the VR should counter the lack of big aperture too. Wonder what it's like compared to my Tokina 11-16.

Is the D7100 a silly upgrade from a D3300? On paper the 7100 has a lower max ISO and worse low light performance. However, I don't really shoot past 6400 ISO anyway due to the noise and I'd like the in-body autofocus motor (so I can buy a wider variety of lenses), the weather sealing (it rains often here) and AE bracketing in case I go mad and want to shoot HDR. Am I stupid to sell a good condition D3300 and spend an extra £200 to buy a used 7100?

I liked the dual control dials on it, there are other considerations but it only makes sense if you will derive a specific benefit from it. My main two gains are access to cheaper prime lenses with AF (no body motor on the 3300) and weather sealing. Also dual controls would be useful as I've been doing daytime long exposures so need to fiddle around in manual mode.

If you can, the 7200 is a clearer upgrade. If not, consider the 7000 as well. Any of them would be definitely better.

I can get a corporate discount of around 25% on all Canon products. If any of you were in my shoes, would you switch? So far I'm invested in a d750, 28-300, 50mm, 27-70mm (came with the camera).

The D750 is a good body already, yeah buying used is great for your case. If the discount was 50% I'd probably do it, but 25% isn't enough for me.

The only thing about Nikon that really makes me want to keep the d750 is that I love the 3D focusing mode. Nothing beats it for accuracy when taking pictures of fast moving kids in crowds of fast moving kids.

It'd depend on what you wanted on the Canon side. Just switching for no reason other than you can get a 25% discount on stuff seems dumb. If you're looking at buying $30k worth of lenses or something it might be a different story.

I like Canon's L series lenses like the 28-300 and 50 F1.2. Like I said, I also really like Nikon's 3d tracking so I'm beginning to think Nikon still wins out even with the discount.

Apart from being heavy, what don't you like about the 28-300L? Ive got the Nikkor 28-300 and I carry it everywhere. Yeah it's unwieldy but the versatility is great especially when hunting down your kid. I just wish it took pictures as well as my 50mm.
