Hi everyone,
please don't blacklist me right away
Till now I only use cheap beginner dslr's and played a litte (really just a little!) with aperture and focus.
Now I have the chance to borrow a D800 with 28-120 VR lens for a trip to San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego Zoo, Mexico and New York.
I now the D800 only performs best with manual settings and much experience. But it has some automatic features, right?
Would you think a beginner can get decent results with most settings in automatic? Or will I get poor results (not sharp, wrong focus etc.)
If you look at the images of the camera shot here, do you think I'll get the best result (f/8) by using automatic mode?http://www.dpreview.com/articles/1690347434/first-impressions-using-the-nikon-d800/2
(I want to use jpeg most of the time, now and then rar files, and mostly shoot without a tripod)
Thank you very much!
