[QUOTE="Billy Y., post: 67262, member: 10157"] Sorry you are having problems. You could always rent a body while yours is away. I have noticed in scenes with large shadow areas my D7000 sometimes tends to bias its exposure for them, so I often have to dial in some negative compensation in those cases. I assumed Nikon did this because it is easier to pull detail from overexposed highlights than from underexposed shadows. It is possible if the meter is compensating for shadows that you would then have to turn up your Iso to 800. No focusing issues here, does it happen the same with every lens? As for a lot of noise at 400 I haven't experienced this, It does have more noise at 400 then my pentax k5 had, but so does almost every camera in the world. You could get a d300s for around 1200, still a great camera and much less than a d700. Also, what program are you using for post processing? I have read that for some reason Lightroom displays NEF files as overexposed, but the same photo In CaptureNX appears normal. [/QUOTE]
