[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 158706, member: 10784"] Ok, back home after a round trip of 820 miles for a Cheesesteak! 410 miles was in the rain, bad enough but worse when on a motorcycle!! Anyway, back to on topic... I sat down with the camera today and just started taking some pictures... I did pretty good remembering the controls. There were a couple that I had to look up... and I still forget whether to use the command wheel or sub command wheel.. That will take a little time yet. I am liking the speed and ease of adjusting the camera and surprisingly, for as intimidated as I was the other night, the learning curve was not that bad. Speed of acquiring focus seems faster than my D5100 and so far, focusing is right on. Here are a few shots taken this morning....

The left is the standard DX (31mb) and the right is the 1.3 Crop (19mb) [ATTACH=CONFIG]39928._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]39929._xfImport[/ATTACH] I do not know how much I will use it but if I need a bit more reach on my wildlife shots, it might be worth a try! :) Also, if I need a longer period of rapid fire for a sporting event I might consider it for that... It is still a RAW image! Overall, I am very pleased with everything... I have no drawbacks (yet). I am liking the image quality and focus aspects along with the responsiveness...
