[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 643292, member: 43545"] With all the talk of the D850 making the older cameras obsolete I sometimes feel like the odd man out by thinking there is still a lot of performance out of old obsolete cameras. During a lunch yesterday with my good friend Anastasia, that was forced on us by rainy weather not cooperating for a planned photoshoot in the park featuring the fall colors as background, I got a D800 out of my bag and shot with a 70-200 2.8 against the only light source of the room, the window directly behind her was the only light in the room of the small neighborhood cafe. This is a low odds shot since strong backlight means boosting shadows a lot to get the face. Shooting manual, 175mm 2.8 1/80, ran it up to 3600 ISO. It gracefully handled the blown out window light but captured enough mid tone data without boosting in post, I did use a little dFine noise reduction however in post. By the time the rain stopped the light was failing so used fill flash outdoors for one on a walkway and then one in the part with the after sunset. I would like a D850 but surely do not need one [ATTACH=CONFIG]270498._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]270499._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]270500._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
