So you're saying who whole heartedly trust the engineering the went into the construction, sensor, metering, autofocus...but there's no way you trust the engineering the goes into the software.....hmmm okay.

Based on years of experience with this camera, yes...that's what pretty much I'm saying, minus your hyperbole. The construction has proven to be quite robust, the sensor, autofocus and metering are astonishingly accurate, and I couldn't be more pleased with the camera. The JPEGs that come out of it don't usually meet my expectations, however. So I shoot RAW and edit the ones I care about. Pretty much that simple. Your expectations appear to be different. I buy a camera based on those hard engineering elements. I'm indifferent to the image processing firmware of the JPEGs it puts out because it's irrelevant to me.

You're trying to marginalize my argument by using words like "whole heartedly" and "no way". Clever, but not an accurate portrayal of my position.

Lol. This is so far off topic, it's not even funny.

:icon18::icon18::icon18::tup: thanks for the advice guys lol im now confused havent heard from my bro in awhile

Talk about thread high jacking. You photo dorks can take it to the bedroom already. The OP is not a professional, and he did not even take the shots. Geez get over your selves already.

:P

he started it :mad: :p

I always recommend people shoot RAW. I've gone back to an image a year or two later and tried something new on the post. Doing that in Lightroom on a NEF file is 10000x better than a JPG.

Well, I'm inclined to agree....
