But that zoom is quite impressive, found these two gifs showcasing it's zoom capabilities:
Was the D4 the one that broke?
Very hot day, camera handheld, the distance between me and the castle was 4 km according to Google Earth.
For sure, the last pics are coming over as quite soft, but that's not the camera, that's just the heat shimmer, as it was a 30?C day.
Already loaded a roll of Fuji Superia X-Tra 400.
I finally managed to replace my old Nikon D3100 with a D610 (got a new one for 999 euros) ! \o/
Now I am happy apart from the fact that I really need a 50mm lens with AF (I have an old Nikon series E 50mm f/1.8).
Otherwise I am pretty happy with the combination of a Nikon 28mm f/1.8G and a Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 SP Di VC USD.
