[QUOTE="csgaraglino, post: 574970, member: 42498"] I held back posting for a while to get some shooting under my belt before making any comments. And I will say that in a "lot" of cases the meter is getting it correct - but in strange cases it is not. Here are some examples - I shot some real estate photos, outdoors in bright sunlight with both my D700 and the D810 and the D700 nailed it every time - the D810 - not so much. It seems that the D810 is 2/3 stop underexposed most every time with these kinds of photos? And this is evident because the following day I had to finish the shoot, and so that I was not wasting me time - I bracked with 5 shots at 1/3 stop ea and consistently - anything with sky and ground under exposed If I shot the trees in the forest - it did fine. I shot some auto races on the infield of a NASCAR track - and it did fine.

I'm sure it's something I am doing - I just can't figure it out? [/QUOTE]
