Out of the box, the dynamic range is wonderful, and color realistic and well balanced

Kit lens has a pretty great range if range is what you're looking for

The dynamic range on this camera is second to non

Of course, the most important thing is this: If you set this camera up correctly and point it in the right direction, it can produce some very stunning images with great dynamic range and color at more than adequate resolutions

The dynamic range and resolution are much more than expected, without going into laboratory analysis

The camera has other features including "effects," and HDR (high dynamic range) shooting, which combines two shots of an image using different exposures

Also a good range lens, perfect for everyday shooting.

This mid-range pro-consumer camera surpasses my highest expectation.

The improved sensitivity of the sensor (high ISO range) combined with the image stabilized lens allows easy shooting in low light situations that were impossible before.

It's not at my other Nikons level of resolution (well, at least with the D800E), dynamic range, construction and weather sealing, by far, and that I have to dig into the menus to find some of the controls I have handy with buttons in the other cameras, but the images are astonishing good, even at ISO 1600, and it weighs only about 1 kg with the lens, half the burden

Better ISO scaling and higher ISO range helps me get the lighting for my videos just right without creating noise in my shot

I'll be able to get the tricksier shots in a perfect range too

Nice range for pictures at most common distances

In dark cathedrals and basilica's, even using ISO 4000 did not produce readily noticeable noise, providing the histogram shows the image was captured at good dynamic range (images on the darker side show pronounced noise especially in the shadows if not correctly exposed to begin with)

Take a look at the storm clouds image I've uploaded to get an idea of dynamic range

I will say that as fast as those cards are, you almost want faster.

I have a lot to learn about it's use and am the functions, as well as how to take a great picture

ISO then you might find the camera frustrating as you sometimes will have to navigate the software on the camera.

Shooting with a good sharp lens like the Nikon 85mm F/1.8G, the detail at 100% zoom is amazing
