My D7000 is rated for 150.000 shutter cycles or actuations, too.
I'd loved to buy a D700 since the DPR Review here ages ago - but the 5D I is really sharper, and i like the overall color...

that might happen sooner or later...but a testament for Nikons shutter... ;-) It does quite often more than the usual suspect, here: 100.000 actuations. In contrast, my 5D is just barely >10.000...

@MeHigh

From a composition point of view, you can make decent images with *any* camera, even a Kodak Brownie Box from early last century.

And today, one does have that much options by RAW...

@DJHonda

You don't know how right you are...i've seen terrific landscape shots on 1x.com with just the D90... and it looked like FX, not DX. ;-) In fact, i do like my D90 more than my D7000, for...

...more than half a million clicks onto the D700 which shutter is related to a shutter which is tested for 100.000 clicks is way seldom...most D700 shutters die after around ~170.000 into that...

Yes, but the D300 is 1) 2007 tech, not 2014...and 2) a DX DSLR, not FX. And the D300(s) AF System isn't equal to the D750.
If i would have the money, and currently no FF(FX) DSLR, i'd choose the...

That "narrow" AF Points rumor onto the D750 is really an internet myth, i don't own it, but one could see here, it's way neglible narrower than the D810, the D750 in for AF Point OVF...

@Richard Butler

you're right +1 from me, for that LX3 example, *if* that lens (and zoom lenses are quite more delicate, complicated for distortion then just a prime) that lens would have been much...

@backcoffee17
just right, i don't find nowadays software correction a good thing,
the only thing it's good for - it makes R&D for the companies a bit more easier, because it's way cheaper to design...

@timotale
my biggest sensor is that 24 MP onto the A7 Mk. I, i do use then 8 to 16 MP usually. (30D, D90, D7000, 5D)

...to be continued...i am not a fan of "software-based" lens correction, that means lenses like the SELP1650 above, but also some Leica T-lenses, for instance nowadays...but the thing is clear:...

I don't say that a) distortion correction is lossless -never made that comment- which is way offensive & both foolish by you - b) UWA do have more precious distortion natively, it's all an known...

@Abrasive
Even so, *every* lens does have some amount of distortion, if only for a very low 0.x % degree, but 0.0% is almost impossible.
LR & PS does have lens correction files, and i personally...

I think he meant that lens, Jordan. Can you compare also the new Tamron SP VC USD 35/1.8 with this new 35/1.4 II L USM & the Sigma Art 35/1.4 ?! Would be great.

The Tamron 35/1.8 VC SP USD is better than the Canon 35/2 IS, does have IS (VC here), but costs currently almost the same than the Sigma ART 34/1.4 here into germany. For 500 bucks it would be...

@emfor
nobody needs F/22 on FF bodies today, it's way too much diffraction limited with any FF sensor.
just my 2 cents. always good light.

I wouldn't recommand a smartphone for daily-based photography, to be honest...it's way too much a compromise, only the DMC CM1 does have a decent 1" sensor, but the 28mm "Leica" lens is also by no...

@emfor

you're right about the number-scores, sometimes a bit strange at DxO folks...but that score was tested onto a 5D III, so 1:1 equal comparable, but i know DxO Labs gives more credit for a...

thanks for that info, lars.

fine, nice & moody photographs...i do also love b&w much more than plain color, some could even made it to a zeiss advertising campaign, congrats Giuseppe. I do like image #1 and #3 most..some do...
