    Photo editing (Photoshop Elements)

    When I edit I always zoom in to 100% and evaluate the sharpness of the image. If I can't get the picture to look sharp at that zoom than I usually dump it. I'm wondering...is that overkill? Admittedly I don't understand how that translates to a print. How big would that image have to be...

    I did it...now help!

    I bought the D7100 today! I brought it home and I've already tried it in a variety of settings. The promises of good performance in low light were fulfilled. I can absolutely see that it is going to be great for that. I got a few images that were fantastic...as sharp as I could hope for. I...

    Battery/Grip

    I think I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on a D7100. Is the battery different than the D80? And what is the purpose of a grip? Pros/cons?

    50mm HELP!!!

    I am at my wits end. I have a AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D. I've had it for several years. I've been told it's a great lens...some photogs have said it's (technically) the best one I have. I have researched the lens. I have used it in Aperture and Program mode. I've changed every setting...

    Upgrading Cameras

    I've been shooting with a D80 for the last 4 years. It was my first DSLR. Before that I had a 1970's Canon that I used purely for hobby. I have 1-2 sessions per week and mainly do family/children/newborns. I use mostly natural light. Whenever possible I shoot outdoors although lately I have...
