Please don't ask me to post any images, they're just boring shots of books and oil paintings and other assorted stuff from my rec room. and regular light landscape photography too of course. I'm so impressed with the amazing sensor on this D7200 and I can hardly wait to get out there and start doing some serious low light landscape photography. Finally, I was blown away by rich quality of the colours in the images despite the very low light. this is fabulous!

I auto focused using the AF back button WITH the scene fully magnified on the LCD.ģ. I manually focused with VR OFF and with the scene fully magnified on the LCD.Ģ. ![]() I tested the AF system in Live View in three different ways.ġ. Besides sharpness I also wanted to see how faithfully the colours were reproduced under these low light longer exposure conditions. I shot a wide variety of subjects of different colours, large and small, at different distances including bookshelves with many coloured books, an spruce top guitar, upholstered chairs and couches, pens and pencils with writing on them, various wall-hung oil paintings and other odds and ends. I set up my D7200 on a tripod and released the shutter using the 10 second self timer.
