Now the proud owner of a d850 since sunday and been playing around with it in the house. Hoping to get out next week as ill be off work for easter Came from crop frame d7000. Oh my word, firstly, the focusing is insane. Never have i experience sharp photos like this. Was playing around with...

thanks all, I have come to the conclusion that im just being wayyyyy to picky by pixel peeping. as I said earlier I don't normally take photos of people that often, I tend to do more landscapes etc. people will normally be family pictures on any special events at home. these were taken at f1.8...

I had had it 4 years unfortunatly This was shot in manual mode. That was what you suggested

so im back from work and i thought i would retry, i printed off a downloadable focus charts however now umm'ing and arr'ing, i took 5 photos using the focus chart, ranging from AF fine tuning off to -5, -10. -15 & -20, below are the results. i would appreciate some experienced input, all taken...

I previously used a caveman way of laying a ruler on a table. I have downloaded a calibration chart to redo the procedure tonight when i get home

it does indeed, it is set to -19 as it was back focusing when I tested using the caveman method of a ruler on a table and focusing on a number. sorry, my apologies, here is the full rez image, I didn't want to post the full size as you get into trouble in some forums.

I have had my D7000 for coming up to 3 weeks now, I seem to be completely obsessed with my 35mm prime not being tack sharp like it was on my d3100, I may be imagining this but I seem to be pixel peeping which I never used to before, likely only because I had to micro adjust to -19. im still...

Just an update. Had the d7000 for 2 days now. Well omg... the AF speed alone was worth the upgrade. Feels so good to hold with my large hands and the shutter sound makes it feel so premium Did have backfocus problem, used a simple measuring tape on a table. Kept focusing 1cm too far on the...

It is, from a friend who has gone pro, opened his own company and upgraded to a d850.

Thanks guys. Fine tuning puts me at ease In terms of price. £220, verified 9867 shutter count. Original box and all accessories.

Thanks all. Will be definatly getting it aftet these reassuring comments. How common was the back focus issue that some of these had

Evening all, been a while since ive been on here. Life got in the way of photography but starting to get back into it Wanted some opinions, currently have a d3100, paired with a sigma 17-50 f2.8 and a nikon 35mm 1.8g. My main reason for upgrading is primarily a bigger body for my gorilla...

If you're after an example of an extreme gaming setup. Here's mine. It will run skyrim modded to look photorealistic at 60fps constant and will also run crysis maxxed out at between 50-60fps. Here are the specs. Cooler master cm-690 atx case. Asus republic of gamers maximus v formula Intel...

No point rushing. I'm 28 with 10 years NCD and alot of companies still don't want to touch me and those that do average still at £700 for even with a clean licensee and incident free insurance record. It's renewal time for me next month and I can put money on it not being cheaper than last year...

That seems so strange. Just Friday I had a nikon battery posted to me from amazon and when it arrived it had a massive sticker on it saying it had a lithium ion battery on and not to transport if damaged.
