I purchased a new D7200 2 years ago and love it. I didn't get to use it much the first year as I was taking care of my mother before she passed.
Last summer, I was on the road in Indiana and stayed overnight in a B&B. The owner had the A/C cranked up and it was cold in the house. It felt good, though, compared to the 90 degrees (F) and high humidity. I brought my insulated camera case inside but did not open it.
The next morning, I was on the road early. It was another hot and humid day. As the sun was coming up, I came across a nice shot of a farm and barn. When I got the camera out, it still had the 55x300 lens on it. I popped it off to switch with the 18x140 for wider angle. When I raised the camera up to shoot, I noticed everything was fogged up. Duhhhh.... I didn't think about condensation in the summer. I left the lens off and got back in the car with A/C until things dried off.
HERE'S THE QUESTION: (Finally) Since I had the camera open to switch lenses, could the condensation have damaged the sensor? The reason I ask is, now that I have time to use the camera more, I'm finding focus is not nearly as clear as I thought. I use the VR when hand-held, and try to shoot with a reasonably fast shutter, but then I view the photos on the computer at 100%, the details are fuzzy.
Suggestions?
Thanks for your help with this.
