A700

[blizzard]

Hey Blizzard,

Like Anbesol said, the v4 firmware was mostly a high ISO noise fix. It also extended the auto-bracketing range as well as a couple of small bug fixes. The a700 is very capable of sharp pictures, but it really depends on a number of factors. People who shoot JPEGs on the a700 generally add +1 or +2 to the in camera sharpening.

"Muddy colors" indeed sounds like what could have been a pre-v4 high ISO shot. Often referred to as a watercolor effect.

I haven't got time to post samples at the moment, but I'll try to stop by later to do so.

I just spent a few minutes on your gallery well done
congratulations:thumbsup:

I think you are right about older firmware and low end lens
My hope is to replace 2 older camera body's with a a700 next week
and my d300 with a a 900 by late spring
send a photo or 2 thanks:aureola:
