Pretty significant upgrades, but well worth it. <br /><br />cheers,<br />konradKonradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975387560456769892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-35050987680617026152016-10-13T05:03:33.632-05:002016-10-13T05:03:33.632-05:00Hi Konrad, do you still use this camera?

At the end of the day, this kept it from being simple and would require a lot of work on my part. I was looking for a very simple point and shoot camera that was able to capture what I was seeing. The 4300 is by no means a professional camera, but it does take pretty accurate photos with minimal effort. I would certainly consider a D70 or D90, but there was a lot more work involved in getting photos. The 4300 is so basic, it does not really have a white balance to set. Makes me almost wish I could still run film through my F2!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />KonradKonradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975387560456769892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-61294190244084377292011-01-19T22:44:27.013-05:002011-01-19T22:44:27.013-05:00At least part of the problem with the P100 looks/s...At least part of the problem with the P100 looks/sounds like a color balance problem, which could be rectified with some work on the white balance. For less than $10, you can get a small, hard plastic color/white reference card that you include in the first photo in a series, say, under certain lighting conditions. Then in a photo-editing application, you balance the color by pointing to the white reference card. It's fairly straightforward, and not a lot of hassle.<br /><br />That said: we owned a Nikon 4300 for a long time, too, and they are great cameras. If you're satisfied with it, there's no reason to switch (or "upgrade").Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01204385954996143021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293643013821611045.post-49162147155321014162011-01-19T21:09:32.848-05:002011-01-19T21:09:32.848-05:00Hi Phil.

From all that I have heard, as well as seen with my own eyes, the P100 is one of the worst cameras Nikon has ever made, at least in the digital age.<br /><br />-philAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
