When I took these shots last week I was going to throw them away.At my bird feeder on a really ugly day.SOOC the d90 or D300s would look alot better.Played around in capture nx2 and PS5 and this is what I pulled out of a bunch of throw aways.My point is a camera like the d7100 needs a bit of "twerking" to get the most out of it.Good glass,technique and PP.But alot more information that can be worked with.
some D300s images, had the D7000 for about 6 months, just couldn't get to like the feel of it compared to the D300s so i sold it, used it along side my D3s still i got the D800, since sold the D300s but if a D400 did materialize, well i may have to get one,
Not even sure if a d3200 is an actual camera..have to look it up.But love getting the great shots from d300s users because I think they are the most tuned into wildlife.
Thank you, Doug. That was taken from a kayak while paddling Leigh lake in the Tetons.
The D7100 handily bests the D300 in terms of image quality, no doubt about it. Its like the old drag racing adage, "There's no substitute for cubic inches." Holds true in the pixel race.
The D300s + 70-300 VR and 12-24 combo were two I really enjoyed, and was my travelling combo. I got a lot of great shots with that setup in Hawaii and while on a kayak in Johnstone Strait, BC (well the first two were from a kayak).
That was in the Waimea Botanical Garden on Oahu, Hawaii. Funny story, I saw the entrance fee and decided I'd try to find a way in - I really only wanted to see the waterfall at the end of the garden. While scoping out an.....alternative entrance, I found that peacock wandering around
Waterfall at the end... D300s + 12-24 + 10-stop filter rested on a flat-ish rock I found (cloned out a couple swimmers):
