[QUOTE="TedG954, post: 255086, member: 9701"] When I bought my D800 and several FX lenses, I thought my D5100 would be come a second-class example of an "entry" camera. A lot of people look down their noses at the "KIT". As it turns out, I use my D5100 quite a bit. Of course, I use my D800 quite a bit also. But... I don't feel "under-gunned" when I use my D5100. Spending over $2500 for an FX camera/lens combination isn't necessary to get quality photos........ unless you do gallery work enlarged to 20X30+. The D5100 and any of the DX lenses produces sharp photos with fine color as long as you do your part. So, if you're thinking that you have to sell your D5100 and buy an FX "professional" set-up, you may want to think twice. The photos I'll post in this thread are straight out of the camera. As RAW originals, they have been converted to smaller JPEG files for posting. There is no post-processing. I didn't even straighten the horizons or crop the edges.
