My major interest in photography is scenics. I love the beauty of the world that is around us. So, I love to look at other people's work as well.

Too many of the pictures I see posted, here and more so on other sites, to my eye have been obviously extensively and excessively worked over in post processing. Colors are too vivid and often unbelievable, edge sharpness is far too exaggerated, contrast has obviously been "adjusted". Often pictures are simply too "cute".

To my eye such pictures are ugly. I guess I'd have to say that if you can tell a picture has been "enhanced" in post-processing then it was probably overdone.

I have nothing against the concept of post-processing and I do it myself, though I am far from a master of it. It can offer wonderful opportunities to improve a photograph, change it to monochrome, remove dust and blemishes, correct color balance, merge photos etc. etc.

But it is and should remain a means to an end, not the end itself.

Is this just me or do others share my view?

I understand how you feel about "enhanced" post-processing. I don't necessarily share your opinion. I'm only opposed to "enhanced" post-processing when it is done poorly. But that brings up another issue. How do you feel about replacing skies? Or changing the mood of an image from noon to sunset? All of these could be considered "enhanced" post-processing but can also transform a ho-hum image into one that is spectacular.

I would recommend the D610 over the D600 given the shutter issues with some of the D600 cameras. These issues were resolved with the D610.

I don’t disagree, except that on a Nikon D7200, the “-real- nifty 50” would be a 35mm lens. Respectfully, the 50mm lenses you are talking about are all “nifty 75s”.


Having an equivalent field of view of 75mm makes them ideal for portraitures. The f:1.8 lenses will be less expensive and will be on par regarding image quality.

I purchased a new printhead from China for my Canon printer for about $20 and it worked great.

Thec18-55mm Nikon P-series lens will accept a tulip lens hood. The non-P-series lens requires a circular, non-tulip hood.

It is true that the sensor with the greater pixel count will allow for more aggressive cropping but only up to a point. At some point, you will exceed the resolving power of the lens used to take the image and that will become the limiting factor rather than the pixel count.

I also find it strange that nobody has mentioned the Olympus line of cameras. I have two and love them. You can pick one up for $499 here: https://www.amazon.com/Olympus-Mirrorless-Digital-Camera-14-42mm/dp/B01CIXJIHW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1519978419&sr=8-2&keywords=olympus%2Bem10&th=1

I find it strange that nobody has suggested Olympus cameras and lenses. Olympus has many Pen cameras which are small, competent and easy to carry. The second hand market is full of them.
Indeed, any of the mirrorless cameras will do the job.

He was very clear in his original post. He said that he did not accept Paypal. Only check or money order.
