QUOTE(f5calvin @ Jun 26 2012, 11:33 AM) im using kit lens 18-55 only.. flash later bah..i jz started for a month leh. don't u think d5100 has too much softening? i need to go to the settings to change the sharpness because b4 that all those portrait photos i took weren't sharp at all..(bt they were not out of focus either..) haha..tried that b4..really poison..and the 70-200 f2.8 vrII thx for the advice.. 70-200 is good but it is heavy If you shot raw, in camera settings doesnt get affected if you process the picture with adobe photoshop or lightroom except white balance, only in nikon software it an read the in camera data

NR will cause ur pic appear soft also. Usually I turn it all off.

What lens is being used first? Don't expect a kit lens to perform like a pro grade lens.

My Nikon D7000 the Live View thing sometimes cannot 'pull'. It's like very tight, the built-in flash also doesn't pop up (it does release but doesn't pop out)... dafuq?  apa problem ni? o.O edit : actually it has been some time since it was like this.. around 5 months now.
