[QUOTE="aroy, post: 279535, member: 16090"] Some more things that I learned . The camera shakes due to mirror slap, even on a sturdy tripod, hence you have to stabilize it properly. Here the VR helps a lot in hand held shots. . The inbuilt flash requires some practice as it is always (at least for me) under exposing. For most of the out door shots I use +2EV and for indoor shots +1EV as flash compensation. . As metered the image has at least +1EV reserve for highlights. So if you have a perfect histogram, just touching the right, and then expose it by +1EV, the data is available in post. . To get super sharp images with my MF 50mm F1.8 lens I used flash as a strobe. . The View NX-D (beta) is an excellent software and unless you need Photoshop or focus stacking that is all that is required to process the Raw Nikon images. . The camera software for calculating storage on the card seems to retain the 14 bit size of 27MB (of D7100 camera). That the images here are 12 bit and 22MB on average has escaped the coders. That means that the 4GB card supplied shows space for around 145 images where as in reality it can store around 180. While this may be a nice feature so that you do not run out of space, I would prefer the estimate to be more accurate. It is a pity that there is no mirror up mode. This could have been easily incorporated as the Live View has the mirror up. Why the mirror has do cycle while shooting in LV is a mystery to me. [/QUOTE]
