    Which to upgrade: lens or body?

    Okay, so now I have some questions, and I hope this isn't an obnoxious thing to ask. So, I opened the package, snapped my new 24mm f 1.8 on my D7100, flipped it to automatic, and took one photo out my window. To me, it doesn't look the least bit sharp. Shouldn't this lens be able to give me...

    Which to upgrade: lens or body?

    Well, I took your advice. My Nikon 24mm f 1.8 arrives this week. Not planning any trips to Disney any time soon, so I'll have to test it around the neighborhood. I've got a lot to learn!

    Which to upgrade: lens or body?

    Would that 24mm 1.8 be better than the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art DC HSM? I'm leaning towards that lens because it's shown up a couple times in the articles I've read. What I'm hoping for is a lens that will give me some capability of getting low-light photos, but be able to use the same lens to...

    Which to upgrade: lens or body?

    Update: I finally upgraded to the D7100, but I am now looking for a lens to pair it with. Right now, I am looking to only buy 1 lens that can do as much as possible. I'm reading articles online, but many of them are old and there doesn't seem to be a consensus. Any recommendations for the...

    Challenge: Use just one of these lenses for a day in the parks!

    Fractal, please tell me more about the 50 mm 1.8? Paired with the D7100, what kind of shots should I be able to get? Is it only good for low light photos, or can I make it work in a variety of settings?

    Leota back to the Table and Ballroom Question

    I think the scene works better when she's on the table. When she looks from side to side, it's like she's trapped in there, which is creepier than her being free.

    Darker Haunted Mansion?

    I felt like it was done in some places that didn't especially need lower light and that too many details were too difficult to see. I think maybe the library was one--I could only tell there was a table with books because I already knew it was there. Now, some of the low light videos that are...

    Which to upgrade: lens or body?

    I think this is what I was hoping to hear--that I'm not going to get drastically better low light photos with just upgrading the lens. I do shoot a little manual here and there, but no, I'm not very familiar with the camera yet. I can get somewhat decent shots when I have time to set up, but...

    Which to upgrade: lens or body?

    Better low light photos. I'm going to try to take dark ride photos no matter what camera I have, so even when I just had a point and click, I still tried to use manual settings when I could. But even my nighttime outdoor photos are not quite what I'd like. Maybe it's a matter of getting more...

    Which to upgrade: lens or body?

    I recently bought a Nikon D3300 and have only used the lens that came with it. I am thinking about investing in upgrading, but was unsure which was more cost effective in terms of picture quality: upgrading the body or getting a better lens. A family member has a Nikon D7100. He shoots on...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    There's a trackless penguin ride at Sea World. Not on the level of Mystic Manor or Hunny Hunt, but a nice minor attraction for young nature fans.

    Reaction To Losing Something At WDW

    I left a phone in the pocket of the Barnstormer. When I realized it two hours later, I asked the CM standing out front if they had found one and he tried to send me to guest services. I asked if he wouldn't mind just checking the pocket to see if it happened to be there, and he said that they...

    Resort Scents

    I found a recipe for macadamia pancakes that are supposed to be just like the ones they make at Kona Cafe. The author claimed that it recreates the scent from that area of the Poly. When I made them, my family decided they weren't that great, but we haven't spent any time there. Plus, I'm a...

    Hiding in the parks

    I thought I had heard the buildings on Main Street all had offices on the second floor?

    Star Wars Launch Bay coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios later this year

    So now we know what he meant by "...finish what you started." Nice of him to give grandpa a chance to put his feet up!

    GoPro

    You don't mean that you've used a dolly in the parks, do you? I've wanted to for a while but never saw anyone else try it.

    Just wanted to say what a great report this is. I can almost feel how much fun it was to be there.

    Major 2015 Pirates of the Caribbean Refurbishment Watch/Rumor.

    That video does look incredible. They've got some cameras now that seem like they've really figured out how to film dark rides. There's a channel on Youtube that has some staggering lowlight videos that make the attractions easier to see than when I'm actually there. Which kind of ruins that...

    What's happening with Innoventions West?

    I was searching something earlier today and found a thread from 2006 where the comments were pretty much what everyone is saying here. That is, Future World needs updating and how come there so many abandoned spaces. Why did it get so far from what it once was, why aren't they doing those...
