[QUOTE="stevevmaloney, post: 152149, member: 14326"] Thanks for your comment. I can't argue that clarity of image has as much to do with equipment as it does technique. My first DLSR purchase was the D200, paired with the Nikkor 17-55 2.8 ED lens which cost nearly as much as the body at the time. The quality of pictures from that combination didn't meet to my liking. So, when the D300s came out, I bought it. But still the sharpness just wasn't there. I queried Nikon about the situation and they asked that I send the lens back, which I did. The result has been "ok". I look at "snapshots" that my friends take with their Canon DLSR's (no tripod, group gatherings, nothings prepared or static, etc) and I'm blown away at the clarity. I've considered selling out to the grey lens crowd but I know that Nikon should do as well. Hence my quest and my last attempt at a high standard of results with Nikon products, probably my last.
