Both were shot free hand and the 610 is far closer to the "real" scene. F stops, speed and ISO were the same in both cameras. White balance was auto. I shot several at differing speeds and f stops and the results were pretty consistent. I haven't loaded NX2 yet so I can't open the Raw files to see the up-processed differences. I have CS5 and it won't open the new 610 Raws. (Bummer)

Those will be the real comparison, but its tax time and the boss says finish that up first.


One does not need to shoot in RAW in order to manipulate the white balance of jpg files. ACDSee provides that capability with three sliders in the "Develop" mode - Temperature, Tint, and Strength.

The Nikon 5100 would be a perfect choice for you.

Hi,

I'm a retired Naval Aviator living in Vista, CA. I currently own a Nikon D5000 and D7000 plus several point-and-shoot cameras. My favorite lens is a Tamron 18-270mm zoom. I also have a Sigma 10-20mm zoom, a Sigma 18-50mm macro, and a Nikkor 50mm 1.8G.

I'm into landscape and sunset photography. I use Photoshop CS5, Capture NX, and ACDSee Pro 4 for image editing.

I became interested in photography as a nine year old when our Illinois home heating system was converted from coal to gas and my Dad converted the coal bin into a darkroom. My Dad owned a twin-lens Rolleiflex and was the first in central Illinois to submit photographs of the houses he appraised with the appraisal report.

During my career as a Naval Aviator I made several deployments to the far east and Japan where I was able to acquire Nikon F SLR models for a fraction of the stateside price. I'm still a Nikon guy except for my favorite point-and-shoot which is a Canon S-95.

The D70 is a Digital Single Lens Reflex camera that has interchangeable lenses, which can be zoom or not. No digital zoom. By the way, the D70 is an old model. If you're interested in a reasonably priced Nikon DSLR, look at the D3100 or D5100. Or you could pick up a used D80 for a real nice price.
