I was wondering, as we increase megapixels in a DX camera, is there a corresponding loss of sharpness. In other words, will a camera with 16 MP (like a Nikon D5100) take sharper pictures than a 24 MP camera (like a D7200)?
For me, the high pixel count allows me to crop the image and still keep the sharpness.

Congratulations! Refurb is a good way to get a good price. The D810 is an excellent camera. Enjoy learning.

Depends on the lens and your expectations. For reviewing images, if you haven't done so, format the memory card in the camera. See if that makes a difference.

This is probably an easy one...I have had my D7100 for almost two years now and I know how to get the most out of it except for one little thing; how do I select which card you view while reviewing in camera? In my reading, I have missed that detail and have been getting around it by popping the other card out. I know there must be an easier way. Thanks.
During playback, press and hold the BKT button and the up arrow on the selector. (Page 186 in manual)

For someone that has used both cameras, Please.
Do you feel its worth the $600 plus price difference between a used D800 and a D810 Both having equal cond. ratings.
I do know the differences between the cameras.

I do know the differences between the cameras.
If I already had the D800, I wouldn't upgrade. In my case, I purchased a refurbished D810 as my first FX DSLR.
The features that swayed me to the D810.
1) no OLPF
2) ISO 64 (low 32)
3) Electronic front curtain shutter
You will not find these on the D800.
I've used the Electronic front curtain shutter many times for the best blur control for zoomed, long exposure shots where I wanted as little vibration as possible. That feature in conjunction with ISO 64 and no OLPF delivers awesome photos.
I don't do video but there is zebra stripping that is useful for a cinematographers.
Is it worth the extra money? That's a personal decision.

I am looking to buy a waterproof camera after I killed my last camera when I flipped my kayak last summer. I've been reading reviews but I was hoping for some first hand knowledge. It'll be used mostly to photograph wildlife and landscapes. Documenting my adventures down Iowas many beautiful waterways and back roads.
I looked at the Olympus TG-4 and the Nikon AW130. Both very good P&S cameras. I wanted something durable for an upcoming beach vacation that would hold up in sand, water and accidental drops. I ended up with the AW130. I liked the weight and feel of it much better than the Olympus.
The Olympus has a known problem with the ring that is screwed in around the lens coming off. It doesn't hurt the integrity of the waterproofing, just a bad design. It is meant to be taken off to attach an optional macro light.
Both cameras have a excellent macro mode where you can lay the camera on the lens and still focus, if you have enough light.
I can't speak to what the Best waterproof camera is as that means different things to different people.
Here are a few samples that I tested in our hot tub.

I use the SB700 Flash wirelessly on my D810 using the CMS system built into the camera.

Can anyone please tell my why Canon uses TV and AV instead of simply S or A ? Shouldn't they want to make it easier for the new users t understand the settings. They don't use unique nomenclature on their lenses.
Canon and Nikon are both great camera manufacturer's. I'm not going to bias my reply either way. Having said that, I found the Av and Tv nomenclatures confusing as a neophyte. Yes, it took me a few seconds to look it up and viola, I understood it.
I've researched this a bit on the web and this forum. There is much talk about the exposure triangle; ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed. Most books and articles refer to the "shutter speed" as a way to control the action of a shot. I don't see much, if any, discussion about the Time of an exposure. Unless you are using Bulb mode and "timing" the shot takes on a different meaning.
It really makes no difference to me what they call it. But seriously folks, who here would ask what Time you have your camera set to? If I were asked that question, I would be looking up the clock settings not the shutter speed.

Please tell me how to get the shutter count on a Canon EOS 70D.
If you have a Mac OS X, then right click the image and select Open with, and then select Preview.app.
When the photo appears, press Command I. You'll see several tabs. Since I have a Nikon, I have a Nikon tab. For Canon, I would presume that there would be a Canon tab. Select the tab and you should see the shutter count.

I see many folks use back-button focusing. So what's the big advantage of focusing in this manner? I seem quite content with my use of a center focus point and 1/2 press, and recompose, then shoot.
Try and sell me on the BB technique.
Thanks
Try and sell me on the BB technique.
Thanks
For me, because it's a dedicated button on the back of my camera.

I think it best to go to a camera shop and see how the camera feels in your hands. I had one manufacture model in mind, but ended up purchasing something totally different because of the feel and button positions.
