[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 346513, member: 8705"] Eduard, I'm inclined to disagree, I think this isn't actually a problem with the modern cameras, in fact it it quite the opposite in my opinion. Basically if I use auto ISO to get a reasonable shutter speed I get reasonably sharp pictures. Because it can handle higher ISOs than my old D300s I get away with that to a large extent as far as noise is concerned. Because the camera has a reasonably good meter and high dynamic range I can recover a lot of detail from less than optimally exposed images. Again the auto WB is not bad and I can tweak that in Lightroom with raw files. So the end result is that due to the camera being so good (And actually forgiving as far as I'm concerned) I end up with good and sometimes, but less often very good images, certainly from a quality perspective. However what I really want is excellent and consistent results. This is where I need to slow down to get better composition and then do all the things in the original post to to get the best quality image straight from the camera. The high megapixel cameras like the D800 were surrounded with much BS when they came out and it seemed like only a photography demigod would ever get a decent photo out of them. In truth they take great pictures and if you either use a shutter speed of 2 x 1/focal length or you down size to 16 or 12mp you will get much better images than a D300 even handheld. At least this is my experience :) [/QUOTE]
