[QUOTE="Stoshowicz, post: 633333, member: 31397"] While they do look similar , I am not clear on how I should regard the result . Several factors are not being held constant..( Since the lenses are not the same , the amount of zoom is not the same , and with the actual exposure - amt of light- being controlled by the A mode. ) Could you replicate this using the same lens , at the same distance to target , in manual , at a far target , with the same amount of light hitting the sensor? The reasons being that all lenses vary their sharpness with zoom , and the amount of light used is the available true signal. If I took a photo of a bird , its distance to me is fixed , the amt of zoom is also usually maxed out , the shutter speed and aperture also are non negotiable because the depth of the target is fixed , as is the speed of its motion vs shutter (to freeze action ). The variable choice is actually the ISO. But The noise levels of both do look very good compared to a 7100 in that ISO range.
