[QUOTE="Zack001, post: 35695, member: 8072"] Hi All, I have a concern about my Nikon D3100's performance. Briefly, I had a Canon XSI for about two years, and have been able to produce some amazing images using just kit lens and Lightroom. I am not a pro by any means, but have become good enough where I was able to get nice colors and sharp images with most of my shots - of course, it required editing raw shots in Lightroom. Then about 6 months ago I decided to switch to Nikon D3100, because I thought it was a better camera, and also purchased 35mm and 50mm f1.8 lens, in addition to kit lens. However, I have not been able to produce nearly as nice images as with my Canon, despite using the same techniques, and same editing settings in Lightoom...my pictures do not come out nearly as sharp, and colors seem off, and overall are not any better than a point-and-shoot would produce, other than the dept of field that I can achieve with my lens vs point-and shoot. It is impossible to include examples, as I have shot may pictures, but I was wondering about feedback from people who might had similar experiences? Is there a way to evaluate my camera to make sure it is not defective? I know I am not a pro, but I think there is more here than just me not knowing how to use the right settings. [/QUOTE]
