That's a great shot
Thanks. Technically probably not the greatest shot in the word, I was battling some afternoon sun, but sure brings back memories.

Was taking some photos of a friend of mine son's baseball game yesterday. It's funny how you can sometimes take a picture that can bring back memories. The look of joy in that kid's eyes when he hit that baseball, feels like just yesterday that was me at that plate. But alas, it was 40 plus years ago.

Cute! Nice terrior
Thanks, he is a replacement for my last Airedale, Cosmo. Dexter is still a pup and has a ways to go before he compares to him.

Ha ha. I must admit, I have been down that road myself. Years ago, of course.

Picasa Web Albums View Counts http://support.google.com/picasa/answer/154009
Yea, that is the way it used to be, but not any longer. I did a little more looking and it seems now there is a way but you have to use "google analytics" and it seems like more trouble than it is worth.

I use Picasa web albums as an easy way to share photos. It used to be that you could see how many times your photos had been viewed. I no longer see that option. Does anyone know how to once again see that number?

The D200 is a 10mp DX camera. The D610 is a 24mp FX camera, with a 11mp DX mode. The D800 is a 36mp FX camera with a 16mp DX mode. So this full image from the D200 is comparable to the DX image from the D610. The difference, though, is about 7 years of technological advances in sensor technology, which is fairly significant. And, when you are not cropping the FX camera gives a bigger field of view with the same lens than the DX camera.
I am surprised more people don't utilize this on a D800. I think that gives it the same MP as a D4 doesn't it? Everyone likes to complain about the file size, so why not just use it in crop mode when you don't need the extreme resolution. Seems like the 800 gives you the best of both worlds.

You may not see any difference on a monitor (depending on the monitor). However, I think you would notice it in prints.
There would be a gain in dynamic range, less noise and the ability to crop or print large.

I think you are right, probably not a big difference on the monitor, would see it more on a print. Should rent a D610 and end the speculation.

And, to the best of my knowledge, never shot boy's lacrosse. And let's face it, I'm no pro, I can use all the help I can get.

Think the consensus is a newer camera won't improve your pictures. However it may give you more options of when and how you take pictures.
case of read the fine print and see what the specifications say 'all the rest' is just opinion....Two increases here and there can often come with a decrease somewhere else so be definite in what you need and want the most of and then see what the trade off is.

Very good summery, and good advice. Wouldn't be too sure about me buying a new camera. Still love my old 200, and I am pretty cheap. I will see if I can hold out for the supposed D300 replacement, the D9300.

None. Whatever it is you think these shots are mi... (show quote)
This is my boy's first year of playing lacrosse, so it is my first year taking pics of lacrosse. Unfortunately, I don't know the game as well as I know baseball or football so I am not able to get the kind of shots I can in those sports. It really does make a difference if you know what you are looking for. Here is a pic of the same game with my son's friend getting knocked on his butt. You can see the ball come flying out. It was late in the day, so you can see the problem with the shadows overtaking part of the field, with the bright sun on the other part. By the way, these guys are freshmen, so there isn't as much action as you would see with the varsity players.

A newer AF module compared to the D200 (from 2006) would be a big improvement for sports. In many ways, the photos shown aren't where the newer camera will stand out, it's the slightly later pictures as the sun goes down. Or an overcast day, or shooting indoor sports.
Going from the D200 to the D700 gave me two stops of ISO performance, with a corresponding two stops of higher shutter speed.

you are right, when the sun goes down I may as well put away the D200. If I have to bump the ISO to anything higher than 800, it almost isn't worth taking a picture.
