I find myself spending less time in Lightroom and more time with a camera in my hands, and I find that leaving things like ISO up to the camera (unthinkable on Sony's APS-C cameras, which render unusable images after ISO 6400 or so) not only renders great images, but makes it that much easier (and enjoyable) for me to bungle my way through this silly, expensive hobby of mine

Like almost all cameras, the built in flash is not great; an external speedlight with bounce capabilities is really essential for properly exposed photographs (or alternatively not using a flash at all and shooting at a higher ISO/slower shutter speed).

The tradeoffs of course would be significant loss of megapixels (not that important really) and high ISO performance

I also wish there were a way to limit the upper auto ISO, as it goes very high in moderate light conditions, which may effect the quality of a large print.

the ISO is made difficult

And it has crazy high ISO potential

Nikon is aware of this issue from a long time now, and I am surprised they don't do anything much to rectify this anomaly in succeeding versions of their products!Update 7/03/2015: The grip is not as good as I first thought
