[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 184026, member: 8330"] I finally got out this morning to take some bird shots with my 150-500mm Sigma lens on my new D7100. Typically the way I set it up is to Auto ISO up to 3200 in order to keep the shutter speed quick (around 1/800). As I understand it my D600 should perform better at the higher ISOs and that at ISO 3200 both results would be pretty grainy, but what I wasn't sure of is how far apart the two cameras would be in comparison. I'll admit I was a little excited to test the D7100 and see how it looked cropped in at 100%. I didn't intend to do a comparison but when I uploaded the pics I was disappointed enough to look up some D600 pics from the same location around the same hour but months apart and compare. Because I wasn't intending to do a comparison this "test" is about as unscientific as it can get. I don't consider any of these pics keepers but mainly chose them to keep most of the values close. All of them are unedited snippets from my LR4 cropped in at 100% Here is a D7100 at ISO 3200: [ATTACH=CONFIG]47263._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here is a D600 image at ISO 4000: [ATTACH=CONFIG]47264._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here's another D7100 at ISO 1400: [ATTACH=CONFIG]47266._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here's another D600 image at ISO 1600: [ATTACH=CONFIG]47267._xfImport[/ATTACH] Just for kicks here is a D7000 image at ISO 1600: [ATTACH=CONFIG]47269._xfImport[/ATTACH] I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from purchasing a D7100 or to persuade them to choose one camera over another.
