Not that there was anything wrong with it. After reading about the D I decided to buy it instead. The lcd has much better resolution, and has bracketing, articulating screen, a better sensor like the D ; and the D has 16 mp instead of 14mp in the D however, this was not of primary concern.
I am glad I bought the D Whatever you buy, the D or the D you will be getting a good camera. This my first experience with DSLRs.
D is fine for a new DSLR shooter. D is a little bit better. There are some features where the D is a step better than the D Both start with the same VR kit lens. A lot depends on what kind of shooting you like to do.
I would have to disagree. I put my D on ebay and bought the D Very happy I did. The noise on the D is finer, smaller grain, just looks better period. The Dynamic range is better, slightly less blown highlights and way better shadow detail.
The bit raw and better color depth make a difference too. The LCD is so much clearer. And articulates. It takes pictures slightly faster. More megapixels and detail. Bracketing and built in HDR. And you can see the photos just look better. Is it night and day, no. Is it noticeable?? Especially at High Iso. And that doesn't include the improvements on video which are huge.. On the video side on the D if you panned at all the screen had severe jelo effect.
Which meant all you could record was a moving picture. On the D theres barely any jelo effect. I can tell you the effects arent much on photos but on video its huge because if you wanted to add the effects later it takes forever to render the changes. I don't know; I think that sort of falls down at some point. You'll always be wanting something the "next model up has". I also believe it has a better sensor than the D However now I wish I had FP sync, the ability to enter lens data, a commander module in body, etc.
That would require the D and the next model up. That's endless. I love my D and certainly recommend it. They'll always be something better and you may want it. But the entry level is a very sensible place to start. Chances are you are not yet knowledgeable enough to narrow the choices down to just the two which is reaffirmed by the fact that you are here looking for suggestions.
Depending on what you intend to use this camera for and what your expectations are, quite possibly neither camera is the best choice for you. While the D will score slightly better on many fronts, you will probably not notice any difference between the cameras image wise. You will notice a difference between any of the modern DSLRs and your point and shoots. The better LCDs on some cameras can be nice but I wouldn't go out of my way to get one. I've shot with cameras with good LCDs and crappy little ones and to be honest, it doesn't much affect the experience or the results.
As for live view manual focus, it can be handy for static scenes when you have lots of time to get perfect focus. I would be more excited about the articulated screen than more resolution for shooting things like waterfalls where the camera might be set up at an awkward angle. Again, it depends on what you want to do with the camera, what kind of budget you have for this purchase.
There are many factors that will determine the best camera for you, none of which have been addressed here in this thread. If you are on a super tight budget, starving student status.
These cameras will take great images better than your point and shoot , they only give up a bit of high ISO to the newest cameras. If cash poor, buy one of these used cameras and spend some money on a nicer lens Tamron or Sigma comes to mind. If you are looking to get serious with your photography you must consider compatibility. The two cameras you mention do not have in-body focus motors or AI indexing AF and AFD lenses won't focus which sucks as there are some terrific bargains out there with these types of lenses.
AI lenses won't meter. The two cameras in question have limited flash functionality too. They can't use the Nikon flashes in high speed FP mode which is important for some creative shooting in bright ambient light. Nor can they command these same flashes remotely using the on board flash. When one buys a DSLR, it's part of a system In some cases a non-Nikon choice might be the best. Canon has some terrific cameras and lenses, plus they don't have as many of the lens compatibility issues that Nikon does.
Smaller photographic players such as Sony and Pentax Ricoh sometimes offer more camera for less money than the big guys. Pentax cameras have the best system compatibility for lenses.
Sony has some innovative technologies that should be looked at. Don't be hasty with your decision. I'd recommend that you really try to figure out what you want to shoot. What photographically moves you? Is it wildlife? Street photography? Studio portraits? Just friends and family? The D can be obtained in two different colors black, red , while the D is only available in black.
If the front view area width x height of the cameras is taken as an aggregate measure of their size, the Nikon D is somewhat larger 4 percent than the Nikon D Moreover, the D is markedly heavier 11 percent than the D In this context, it is worth noting that neither the D nor the D are weather-sealed. The above size and weight comparisons are to some extent incomplete since they do not consider the interchangeable lenses that both of these cameras require.
In this particular case, both cameras feature the same lens mount, so that they can use the same lenses. You can compare the optics available in the Nikon Lens Catalog. The adjacent table lists the principal physical characteristics of the two cameras alongside a wider set of alternatives. If you want to switch the focus of the display and review another camera pair, you can move across to the CAM-parator tool and choose from the broad selection of possible camera comparisons there.
The price is, of course, an important factor in any camera decision. The D was launched at a somewhat lower price by 20 percent than the D, which makes it more attractive for photographers on a tight budget.
Normally, street prices remain initially close to the MSRP, but after a couple of months, the first discounts appear. Later in the product cycle and, in particular, when the replacement model is about to appear, further discounting and stock clearance sales often push the camera price considerably down.
The imaging sensor is at the core of digital cameras and its size is one of the main determining factors of image quality. A large sensor will generally have larger individual pixels that offer better low-light sensitivity, provide wider dynamic range , and have richer color-depth than smaller pixels in a sensor of the same technological generation. Moreover, a large sensor camera will give the photographer more control over depth-of-field in the image and, thus, the ability to better isolate a subject from the background.
On the downside, larger sensors are more costly to manufacture and tend to lead to bigger and heavier cameras and lenses. Both cameras under consideration feature an APS-C sensor , but their sensors differ slightly in size. The sensor area in the D is 4 percent bigger. They nevertheless have the same format factor of 1.
Both cameras have a native aspect ratio sensor width to sensor height of With Yet, the D is a somewhat more recent model by 7 months than the D, and its sensor might have benefitted from technological advances during this time that enhance the light gathering capacity of its pixel-units. The resolution advantage of the Nikon D implies greater flexibility for cropping images or the possibility to print larger pictures.
The maximum print size of the D for good quality output dots per inch amounts to The corresponding values for the Nikon D are 23 x For many cameras, data on sensor performance has been reported by DXO Mark.
Of the two cameras under consideration, the D offers substantially better image quality than the D overall score 13 points higher. The advantage is based on 1 bits higher color depth, 2. The table below summarizes the physical sensor characteristics and sensor quality findings and compares them across a set of similar cameras. Videography 1. The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera.
Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions. A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear. When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp. A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up.
A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.
Nowadays, it is used to create film-like motion characteristics. Audio 1. A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise. Battery 1. Battery life CIPA shots.
CIPA is an independent, standard measurement that determines how many shots a camera can take before the battery dies. The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken. The battery can be recharged and used over again. An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life. Features 1. The maximum ISO at which the device still captures excellent quality images. Source: DxOMark.
A device's overall image quality score considers: color depth, dynamic range and low light performance. The better a device's color depth the more color nuances it can distinguish.
