[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 91469, member: 9240"] As Pierro said, image looks very post-processed, as if you used a lot of noise reduction. It can take some getting used to, but it can yield some really nice pics - even handheld - with the OS on. I've got a D7000 that I love, with my only real complaint being that the mirror slam can make taking clear photos a challenge at times. Here are a group of 3 photos taken during morning walks near my home. All are handheld with the D7000 and the 150-500 usually at full extension. I've learned you need to shoot at f8 to get consistently clean results and live by that. Hopefully the Exif data comes across, but just in case, realize that the photo of the young owl was shot at 1/80 sec with the lens at full extension. All were post-processed in Lightroom 3 only to adjust for noise and CA. Take the time to get to know the lens and it'll treat you well. [/QUOTE]
