Last month I went on holiday to Club Med in Kemer (which I thoroughly recommend). As Club Med is more about participating than taking photos, I decided to shoot all digital for the first time - the F10 on my belt for wandering around the Club and the D70 for excursions in historic Turkey. Somehow I managed to shoot 920 usable images and 15 minutes of high-quality video. Now I've had time to process it all, here are my observations:
The F10 exceeded my expectations. Almost all the images looked right, straight out of the camera, despite all the silly things I asked it to do. Extremely impressive.
The D70 JPG's out of the camera looked dull and dark compared with the F10 ones. I had to take the RAW files and process them in Nikon Capture to make them look right.
Images:
a. Kemer at 8am by D70 - this village is very big on waterski
b. Kemer at 9pm by F10 - perhaps I should have used "slide" mode
c. A stage production (F10 1600 ISO 1/40 sec)
d. Julie in the St Nicolas church lit by bounce flash from the ceiling 60 feet above (D70+SB800 at 800 ISO)
You just can't get this sort of versalility out of so little equipment with film.
