Graham - I don't know if you are familiar with the DxOMark testing of camera sensors. This link compares the Nikon D3s and the D600. The D600 has a better overall score but the D3s has better low-light (ISO)
score. Take a look. chase

This is a big of an eye opener,based just on these results ,you would assume not much different in pictures from these two cameras then ?.

Hi all,
Sorry my indecisive mind is unhappy still,as well as the fore mentioned Nikond600 it has come to my attention that the Nikon d3s ( much better ISO than d3 ? )
can be had these days at a good price and wonder if it's ( so people say ) great low light and ISO properties may suit me better for what I want and need.
Any body got one and can advise me,looks much more of a beast to carry is that a problem?

You've given no indication what you shoot or why you think you need an FX camera.

FX is better than DX at some things... But it's worse than DX at others. "Going full frame" never made anyone a better photographer. But it can be the "right choice" for some things... Or the "wrong choice" for others.

#1.... You WILL need FX lenses, which tend to be bigger, heavier and more expensive. Yes, the camera can use DX lenses... but you'll end up with approx. 10MP images that aren't nearly as good as what you get now from your D7100.

#2... Unless you make big prints from your images, you will see little difference in your end results. Yes, images may look sharper on your computer monitor while viewing them "at 100%", which is far larger than you'll ever actually use them. On most modern computer monitors at their native resolution, "100%" is roughly equiv. to viewing a five foot wide print from about 18 or 20" away. Do you plan to make 3.5 x 5 foot prints? By the time you resize the image for "real world" uses, much of the "full frame goodness" will have disappeared.

Yes, there are things FX are good for... such as low light/high ISO shooting. It also can give you more control over depth of field, with both shallower effects (large aperture) and deeper effects (small aperture) than is with a crop camera.

I use both full frame and crop cameras. If I could use only one, had to give up the other, I'd keep my crop cameras and give up the full frame.

Crop cameras have greater overall versatility.... I shoot a lot of sports and some wildlife, where the croppers have an advantage. They also are fine for most portraits and scenic photography.

I originally added a full frame camera mostly for its low light/high ISO capabilities. However, newer crop sensor cameras I've upgraded to in the year since are able to be used at higher ISO than was ever possible with that older full frame camera. I'm sure a newer full frame would be different, but can't really justify the cost of one for as little as I presently need it (probably 95% of my work is done with crop sensor cameras). I prefer the full frame camera for portraits, scenics and some macro work. But I could live without it and "get by" just fine with crop sensor cameras, so that's what I'd choose if I could only have one. I'd never "trade in" my crop cameras for a full frame model, unless what I shoot were to radically change.

Thank you for your thoughts to my last comment all of them have made me continue to think hard about this,in answer to the above I wanted the extra DOF and improved shutter speed/low ISO advantage FX gives on paper,but I know Dx ISO has been improving since d7100 as to what I shoot,everything, but it was the cat photos in not always the best light ,depending on the venue,mostly they were ending up online on websites,but sometimes printed up to 20x16 and obviously that's where the difference I thought would come from FX,but maybe due to advances in ISO in low light on DX that isnt so any more? Attach a photo taken with my d7100

I,m sure you have all read the headlines that camera sales are dropping and phone cameras are booming,it will be nice that the phone owners can snatch that photo that otherwise would have been missed and sure they can blur backgrounds and give portrait like results etc,but my DSLR and more recently my coolpix p7000 won't be being replaced by a phone camera any time soon.
Are you hanging up your DSLR,s members ?

i upgraded all MY PC'S with SSD, Crucial MX100 512mb, I would have gone for more memory (did it about 3 years ago) they were still quite expensive in the UK then, cheaper now, and bigger, well worth the change though, much quicker to load


My old computer died when I bought my present one it had SSD and it's so much faster,when photo editing this is a God send, as Raw file are big.

Disk space is cheap, so I recommend using mostly JPG from the camera, but saving the RAW with it, though it depends on the kinds of shooting you times do. If you tend to take a lot of pictures or like to shoot quickly, the slow write speed of the P7000 might bother you. Obviously, if you tend to compose more carefully and take your time, a camera that is slow between shots won't matter so much. I mention it because I don't have much time either, but when I do sit down to review whether I have anything worth printing (being an occasional hobbyist) more times than not I wish I had the RAW if it's not there. At least for me, it matters most for dynamic range, such as saving the blocked highlights and lost shadows that the camera leaves in the JPG.

Think I have to gree fully with you,even though I'm not seeing that much of a difference,those times I feel like I,d like to push shadows or something I would miss raw,so I have it set raw and fine,yes there I a wait between being able to shoot,but that isn't normally a problem

Thank you all the above for asking the time to post your valued experience,s I have another question now after using it a little,is it me or is there little improvement of jpegs from the p7000 RAW files over the jpegs straight out of the camera,they just seem so good to me it's work for litle gain ,that's me praising thepegs produced by this gem,in comparison RAW out of my DSLR to jpegs show quite some difference.Graham

I've seen a lot worse displayed here. Aside from a little softness in the corners, it looks like you have a nice camera.


I did a quick Google of this model selling secondhand online and the lowest I found was £99 up to £150'ok they are eight years old but seem to be build like a tank,I was a bit supplied at the recommended price eight years ago of £430 !

Hi all,
I wanted a pocket sized camera which would offer me almost all the functionality of my DSLR
I won off ebay for an absolutely bargain price of £38 inc P&P a Nikon Coolpix P7000
I am wondering what IF any the members experiences are of this camera ?
It has just arrived and boy there's a lot to play with here me thinks !
Graham
Ps a quick photo taken on auto on a damn murky UK day !
