[QUOTE="Photographic Memory, post: 655835, member: 44510"] Today I have been shooting in broad Daylight and all the Pictures look crisp. I am seriously considering maybe I need to alter my Shooting style and instead "ETTR" from now on. At this moment I want to keep it. Too much headache even contemplating sending this one back… The reason I decided on the D5500 is because a few weeks ago I started Night Shots (long Exposure on a Tripod) with my then D3300. I was capturing lovely Photos, but the Noise was horrendous. After extensive research I read all over the place the D5500, while perhaps having the same 'Sensor' is capable of brilliant High-ISO and Low-Light (Recovery) Shots. (This was evident to me when showing the Photos From the start, the amount of crisp, clear "recovery" on the top 3/4's of the Photos I was taking was amazing. However, down the bottom we have that 'Amp Glow'. There is no denying this, it is blatantly evident. Thus I went through my D3300 archives (both then and again today) and some similar shots (e.g. 1/80s, 800 ISO, whatever Aperture) and pulled out the Shadows and increased Exposure and even on the D3300 they are uniform, no Purple Amp Glow to be found. I also bought this AF-S 35mm 1.8g to take advantage of this new D5500 in Low-Light. But now? I just am amazed at the quality of these Photos - in good light! I guess I will "cut my losses" and realize I have more to gain than lose. At this point in time. I will email HDEW, and thank them.
