Hello , I'm Marc from Ghent (city in Belgium).
Have some problems with my new D5100.
Before the D5100 I had an Olympus E420, my first DSLR. Made good pictures for such a 'cheap' camera.
After 2 years i thought to upgrade to a better one , a Nikon D5100.
But my pictures are worse than with my Olympus.
Problems :
1- In daylight (no sun but not totally clouded) , on automatic or P program :
I take a picture , it takes 1/4 sec to take it ??
and than you get this
exif data :
F5/6 , iso 100 (on auto) , s 1/4sec
This picture isn't sharp at all , and it had 8 sharpsetting points
This picture has exif data : f/5 , iso 100 (on auto) , s 1/8sec
4 sharpsettingpoints on the bike itself
Next picture i took was this one :
exif : f4/8 , iso100 (on auto) , 1/15sec
I'm totally not happy about the pictures , the last one is the best.
I tried on the M stand , i put it on f/22 and it would take 6 seconds to take a photo ? in daylight ?
I use the stock 18-55 kit lens , but it can't be that bad ??
If i compare shots that are in a reviews of a D5100 they are 5-6 times better than mine.
2- I've set the sharpness to 8 , i know they only work on PASM.
I just wonder , why i have to sharpen all the photos as my earlier E-420 i never did that and they were even sharp or sharper on the details.
I took pictures of a person and if i look at the picture full size and compare it to a full size photo on a review , they are sharp and no noise , mine is less sharp and has noise (partly due to sharpning i presume ?)
I have no filters on my lens , had them but took them off because i read on the forum it could have something to do with unsharp photos.
I have the same thing on my other lens 55-200.
I can't check with someone else his lens , so i dont know if its the camera or the lenses
It's like 7 pictures arent really sharp , than you get a good one , than 4 less sharp , than a good one or 2 , ........
edit :
I also set the VR off , no difference.
thanks for the time reading and looking and if you see a fault in writing , I normally speak flemish (dutch)
