hi gang made the hard decision last night to move back to canon ,i have struggled to get decent pics since buying the d7100 ,there is something not right about the raw files i cannot define it exactly but its like theres a infinity limit on the pics anything taken at infinity is out of focus tried all sorts with the lens and t.c combos but nothing worked ,when my second body decided to play up the other day it was the final straw .i have today returned the camera and surprisingly they gave me a full refund with no argument .and am now in the process of starting to e/bay my lenses etc .i will like ian continue to look in keep smiling

Sorry you have had so much grief with the Nikon 7100. I'd offer you my D300 but I dont think it is really a step forward for you. Hope that the Canon purchase goes smoothly and that you continue to take great bird photos. Do drop in and post even if you are a Canon user. I have a Canon G12 that I use as well for my underwater stuff.

There are adaptors that allow you to use Nikon glass on a Canon. Don't know if autofocus works or how well. I've also had some concerns with infinity focus with my D600. Some seems to be from camera movement even at higher shutter speeds. It doesn't take much with the high pixil density to throw off sharpness a bit.

I must be missing something cos...Ive never taken a photograph that needed infinity to be in focus anyway? Or do you mean the lens focusing isnt reliable at extreme long distance settings? Sorry if I am being thick.

Can you post a crop of an unacceptable infinity focus...with a canon comparison? I am sort of getting the impression that Nikon pixels are not resolving the 'dithering' (for want of a better term) as well....but I may be way off the mark.

Eric, I took this shot up a side street while walking through the town of Elora Ontario a few days ago. It was taken with a Nikkor 24-120 f/3,5 on auto focus at 110 mm and 1/350sec. at f/8 with my D600. The church was at infinity. The crop of the steeple shows my infinity focus concern and the same crop after a quick run through with SmartDeblur, a new program I've been trying out. It must be remembered that these concerns are only for large prints or extreme crops, as this technical quality of picture could be easily hung as a Super B 1(3x19 inches) with minimal post processing.
