[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 298529, member: 13090"] Well the camera embeds the information in the RAW file but I'm unclear, too be honest, on how exactly that information is used, or IF it's used, by different software applications. The general consensus seems to be that this information, meaning the settings as applied in the different profiles (Standard, Vivid, Landscape, etc.), are not applied to RAW files; but again, I've heard differing explanations on this topic and I've not yet looked into as much as I'd like to find out for myself. Further, my girlfriend shot with a '3200 for a long time and, using a Nikon 35mm f/1.8G lens, she could get some pretty darn good sharpness. The 85mm f/1.8G was even better. We recently bumped her into a '5300 which maintains the 24MP's of the '3200 but also loses the optical low-pass filter (OLPF). I speak from experience, albeit somewhat limited, when I tell you I've had two previous Nikon's that did have OLPF's and now, we have two Nikon's that do *not* have them (I shoot with a '7100 which also does not have this filter). In comparing images from all these cameras I can tell you the difference is dramatic. So, anyway... Question for you is, what lens, or lenses are you putting on the '3200? I'm sure it's no surprise this is going to be a huuuuge factor in overall image quality. [COLOR=#ffffff]...[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
