Luna, Mustang and King -- those are all very good shots. The PMS mugs crack me up.

As far as ISO performance and light gathering ability, think of it like this:
Say you have a Nikon D90 and a Nikon D700 as examples, both are 12 Megapixel sensors. meaning the D90's (crop sensor) 12 million pixels are crammed into a smaller sensor and the larger sensor of the D700 (full frame) has more area to spread those 12 megapixels out so light can hit each pixel "easier" for lack of a better term and gather more light because of the larger size of each pixel, whereas the D90's smaller pixels that are crammed together make it harder for the light to reach all of the pixels leading to more noise in your photograph. Same goes for pocket cameras. The sensor is so small anything past ISO 400 usually yields unpleasant photos

Thanks guys!

Luna, those are awesome mugs!

Zee, great shots from the game. I've never been to an NBA game before... I need to go!

I noticed the Laker-ettes. Was there a game, too?

On the lens, there is a remove-able tripod mount. I usually use a monopod with it.

Id rather have the lens than the 5.0

WOW onzedge, didnt know you had such an amazing camera!!!

I really wanna buy a new lens with some good zoom. Also looking into a Manfrotto tripod.

A few of you saw these already but these are my most recent shots..

and two random older ones

I shoot with a D90 by the way, I dont have 7d money over here

Just thought I'd share from right now...

Life is good!

Alchemy, I take it you like phallic-shaped objects.

Dallaz · 12-29-2011, 08:41 PM

That wasnt a very technical answer, I haven't really explained all that stuff in a while, but easy to understand. +1 if it helps anyone!

Awesome explanation - repped

So full frame and non full frame doesn't have sh*t to do with lens focal length? Just crop sensor size?

VERY nice. IDK if I can justify that much on a tripod. I dont use the one I have too much but its a piece of crap and I need to upgrade. Looking for a simple one in the 100-150 range.
