I use a Nikon D5100 mainly because of it’s reasonably ‘high’ 16MP sensor. This means the RAW files are not so large that they take forever to import and edit, plus they are good quality.
Here’s a couple of unedited, in camera processed from NEF Jpegs from my ‘early’ days as a photographer over 40 years ago.
All slides copied using a Nikon D5100, Sigma 150mm f2.8 DSG APO macro, 0.62 secs, f8, 100 ISO, Aperture Priority. The backlight was actually a computer monitor. I simply filled the screen with a large open empty word document with a plain ‘white’ background and positioned the slide vertically in a little rig about 6 inches in from of the screen to ensure I did not capture any screen pixels (unlike my first attempts.)
To be honest though, I thought I would find even more ‘keepers’ from my back catalogue, but after seeing what is not in lot’s of the image, I am more of a convert than ever to Digital.
