DSC_0006.JPG 3,133.0 KB Size: 3008x2000 Shutter: 1/ 40 Aperture: F8 Exp. Comp: +0.33 ev ISO Speed: 200 (This shot was captured with the D100's in-camera sharpening turned off, then unsharp masked later in Photoshop, at 150%, radius=0.9 pixels)	IMG00711.jpg 2,482.6 KB Size: 2268x1512 Shutter: 1/90 Aperture: F8 Exp. Comp: 0.00 ev ISO Speed: 100 (This shot is one where the light changed while Gibbs was shooting. The sun is shining here, while the others were shot under overcast conditions.

A Message From Dave:

This shootout was expensive, in terms of both dollars and time. Now that it's posted, my bandwidth bills for this month are likely to go through the roof. If this is useful to you in choosing which of these cameras to purchase, would you consider doing one of the following?

Purchase your camera through one of the "buy this camera" links above, which go to our affiliate Ritzcamera.com. A small portion of each sale goes towards supporting this site.
Make a small donation, using one of the PayPal buttons below. Think of it - even $20 represents less than 1% of the cost of one of these cameras. (Except the bargain-priced Sigma!) Is finding just the right camera worth 1% of its cost to you? If not, I'll happily accept *any* amount.

Thanks for your support!
