I think you hit the nail on the head Simon, it is very personal. What I like and think looks okay, someone else might not. ( especially my one instructor- he...
Theoretically, I believe this particular LEXAR (133X) is about 2x the speed of the Sandisk Extreme III, but I doubt you would notice any difference in actual...

Thanks all for your inputs on my question. I was particularly intrigued by T.J.'s: "I bet if you took a single NEF file, and created similar sized JPEG files...
I just don't know which to go with. I love photographing wildlife, and the 70-200 VR ED is about the best there is. On the other hand, the 20-200 VR ED DX is...
I don't know what it was. I notice that almost all the photos from this one day have them, some worse than others. I have posted 2 of the photos in my gallery:...
Interesting that we have all of these "things", adjustments to deal with. I have been in photography for quite a few years and have seen the changes made. To...
