Great shots you have there, ppl who are considering the higher end D7000 and this will have reasons to do so now.
at Tsukiji Fish Market
the low noise at High ISO came in Handy, so did the VR
one thing i need to say is to switch off the VR until you need it.
Hi great pics! i have the exact same gear but my pics arent't as good. anyway may i ask why did you say that we shld switch off the VR until we need it? shouldnt that always been switched on so that we can use a faster shutter speed? will the VR affect the IQ?
eventually it is your choice, do you shoot more at the wide end or the tele end of your zoom? personally i shoot more at the wide end. so i would prefer the 16-85mm VR.
why not try the lenses out and see for yourself if the 16mm is the same as the 18mm. i don't have the two lenses so i won't be able to do a side by side comparison.
maybe i will someday.
very impressive performance and use of the D3100 on DX 16-85 VR. Upz! Quite a substantial difference over that 2mm wide end..
.......
btw when i came back from Japan, i had 27GB of images and videos. this is only a small small selection of what i took.
Hi Ortega, it's encouraging to see that good shots don't always come from the latest super advanced gadgets. You mentioned in your earlier post that 1mm made a lot of difference. I suppose you're referring to your 16-85mm lens. For your vacation, would you have preferred Nikkor 18-200mm lens to 16-85mm if you have one? I was deciding btn these two lenses. Ken Rockwell doesn't think that the 16mm makes a lot of difference compared to 18mm & highly recommends the 18-200mm. What's your take? Thanks.
Really great & interesting shots there of your travel with this "entry level" camera :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Goes to show how good this camera truly is & how the man behind the camera makes the final difference. I can almost feel the texture of the beautiful clothes the bride's is wearing & the food, yes the food makes me salivate :bsmilie:
Btw, may I ask if the pics are directly taken off the camera at its default settings or tweaks been made on the picture style, sharpening, saturation etc? I like the colors of these pics... Thanks.
