I don't think that the gear is the problem here........
did you read this thread or any of my others
The D90 isn't what creates the images that blow you away. You are.
see below
Hmmmm.... If you're not getting a certain type of image with the D90, I think you're gonna be a bit upset when the photos from your D300s look identical. Unless you have some internal picture control settings set up differently, there should be minimal difference in the appearance of the image from one camera to the other. Honestly, if you wanted to see an improvement in your images, your money would have probably been better spent on quality glass. I know the quality of my images didn't improve moving from a D80 to a D300, or from a D300 to a D3 (low light not included), but when I went from a consumer variable aperture lens to a fast f/2.8 zoom lens (or faster f/1.4 prime). My lens purchases have had a greater impact on the quality of my images than any new camera body purchase. Please don't fall into the trap of thinking a new camera is what you need to make your photos look better. The D90 is just as capable as the D300s as far as image quality is concerned.
i wasn't talking about just me/my D90 i was talking about all the images i have seen from even from others.
i have 2 primes, both well well known for exelant images. so how do i upgrade? $5000 300 f2.8 or $10K 400 2.8
AND the faster lens i put on the more i noticed the camera issues, so since my camera was defective, per the advice of most of this board I would have had spent $5k on a new lens that did NOT/would NOT have helped.
besides where did i say i was upgrading for IQ????
i said
the better AF, less menus, custom banks, more Cross focus points !!! intervaolameter, and 8FPS all make it worth it for me.
i could add: the larger body fit my hand better, the dedicated AF on button is more the right, where on the D90 i have to poke my eye out to use the ae/al as the AF-ON :tongue:
maybe not to most but because I'm color blind the better meter will help ME out
I'd just like to point out that sometimes people here are very discouraging to new people. it's automatically my fault unless I'm well known or "pro". I have many threads on here admitting it was my fault and the advise helped but the images where still soft.
Maybe you/we/the comminutiy would approach with a little more tach the posters wouldn't get defensive like i have seen in some threads. I'ts almost like some people are offended I/we/us are buying a higher end camera, witch happens to be the camera you own.
If someone walked up to most of this community on the street, and jumped all over you for something, i'm sure it would **** you off maybe even cause a scape. thats exactly what your doing here
KohlerImaging's post is exacly what i'm talking about, if you want to say that fine, but at least take 5 more mintes and try to offer advice.
When i got the d90 I didn' need 6 or 8FPS. but now i started shooting other stuff and it would be nice to ahe that and the other fetureas
i am able to hand hold 500mm at 1/40 and got sharp pictures only a few came out but i got some. So i'm sure its not the way i'm shooting. i know better then to do that but it was all the light i had and the only way to get the shot at that time.... hand hold or not have a picture.......
I'm not trying to offend any body but it getting really furtrating that every time i post it turns into this
