For example the d5200 with 24mp has better high iso performance than the d7000 (16mp) according to dxo.<br /><br />But actually what i meant is that all things being equal, applying noise reduction is more effective with higher resolutions. With the d600 i can boost the noise reduction while still retaining some detail. Also, the finer grain of the noise of higher resolution cameras makes the noise less obtrusive.<br /><br />We'll see with the d7100...!<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Mic360 Rumorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173469932778454315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-47022556252814867402013-02-21T23:15:10.434-08:002013-02-21T23:15:10.434-08:00Mic,

Apparently, the positive effect of the increase in delivered picture quality as a whole has then grown faster than the negative effect of increased pixel density...<br /><br />That comparison 6mp vs 24mp would definitely interest me!<br /><br />Keep up the good work,<br /><br /><br />Roel<br /> Roelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-8027526681619316492013-02-21T15:35:41.693-08:002013-02-21T15:35:41.693-08:00Hi Francis. Good to hear from you.
Re bracketing...Hi Francis. Good to hear from you.<br /><br />Re bracketing, you're right. On the plus side, the bracket interval can be up to 3 stops apart, therefore even with just 5 shots, the D7100 can cover a much wider dynamic range than the D300/S.<br /><br />As for a D800s or D710 or whatever, who knows. I did wish that the D600 was a baby D4 just like the D700 was a baby D3, but that didn't happen. I think there is now too little room between the FX models for sufficient separation, but I've been wrong before :)<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Mic360 Rumorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173469932778454315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-80616330975822023402013-02-21T15:31:54.037-08:002013-02-21T15:31:54.037-08:00Thanks Xiaoli.

I'd like to get the review out but also make it detailed just like my D600 review. It will be a challenge but rest assured I will do my best.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Mic360 Rumorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173469932778454315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-22700833545773646232013-02-21T09:41:46.618-08:002013-02-21T09:41:46.618-08:00Looks like this is going to be the best APS-C came...Looks like this is going to be the best APS-C camera ever.

I'm hopeful/doubtful that it's going to be made.<br /><br />Unless I hit the jackpot, the D800 is out due to its overly excessive (for me) 36 MP count and storage requirements. D4 is just too big (and expensive) for regular use. If I upgrade from the D90, it won't be for the D7100. If they actually did 2-9 AEB and an AF-ON button on the D7100 (which would be quite tempting actually), I'd still want something for clean high ISO.Francisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-91132637926832647412013-02-21T07:15:31.873-08:002013-02-21T07:15:31.873-08:00Hi Roel!

Coincidentally, I also sold my D300S last week (in anticipation of the D7100), so I know exactly how you feel. :D<br /><br />Congrats also on the move to the NEX-6. It's definitely lighter than the D7100.<br /><br />About the resolution I agree with your rationale. I think even 6mp is fine. That said, it appears that high resolution sensors have a benefit even for people who have small prints/views in terms of noise reduction. One thing that I will compare is how the images look from a 6mp APS-C camera (S5) and 24mp APS-C camera (D7100) at laptop screen sizes. Not a scientific comparison due to the many variables such as the absence of a low pass filter but fwiw, I'd still like to see.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Mic360 Rumorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173469932778454315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-77378966532123973552013-02-21T02:36:59.062-08:002013-02-21T02:36:59.062-08:00You can't believe how happy you make me readin...You can't believe how happy you make me reading this news on your blog. ;-)<br /><br />Sold my D300 last week, before the announcement, and got a good price. Would definitely be lower as of today.<br /><br />Considered a D7000 or its successor for a while, but decided upon the NEX-6. Given the size and weight of D7100-monster, my neck and back are now happy... ;-)<br /><br />Moreover, I'm stronly convinced that there is absolutely no need for the majority of amateurs for 24mpx cameras. I've been more than happy with the 12mpx on my D300 and now 16mpx on the Sony. Why: 99% of our pictures are shown on TV or laptop screens, the remaining 1% printed are 99% "basic" 13x10cm prints...<br /><br />I would like Nikon to make a 12mpx sensor that's absolutely noise-free at 6400ISO...<br /><br />Anyway, I'm ranting. ;)<br /><br />Gtz,<br /><br /><br />Roel<br />Roelnoreply@blogger.com
