[QUOTE="ibsmo, post: 565630, member: 42032"] Just wanted to follow up on this. I returned the camera and only ended up getting another one a few weeks ago (it took some time to process the return for some reason), and while the image through the view finder was a little better, it still was not as sharp as past models, and it seemed to be inconsistent when focusing on objects, sometimes clear other times not so much (it also was making my eyes fuzzy), so looks like [URL="http://nikonites.com/member-16749-bob-blaylock.html"]Bob Blaylock[/URL] was right about the f[COLOR=#333333]ocus screen being poor.[/COLOR] @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-16749-bob-blaylock.html"]Bob Blaylock[/URL] I tried removing the focus screen on my D3000 to see how easy it'd be to replace it, and I ended up scratching the f[COLOR=#333333]ocus screen! Totally my fault, but I don't think I'll bother trying with the D3300, which I will return as well. I'm thinking of getting the D5200, though not sure if this might have the same issue. Does anyone have any experience with it, or does anyone have any suggestions for another model? I'm trying to keep it around the $500-ish range since I'm just a hobbyist. thanks ibsen [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
