<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1069171, member: 19463&quot;]To me, the new photos are a bit too contrasty which makes the surfaces unnatural looking.&nbsp; It might be worth trying to go into the menus and set the contrast setting one click under default and see if this makes any improvement.&nbsp; You can always set it back if you don&#039;t like it.&nbsp; Another answer is to buy a decent postprocessing program and adjust tonal curves as you see fit.&nbsp; I like Photoshop Elements (about $79 here) but there are many that could do it.&nbsp; I have not had a Nikon since 2000 but have faith that their cameras over a couple hundred dollars will have settings that can be used to tweak results so you should play a little before writing off something you don&#039;t find perfect.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW:&nbsp; One thing I liked on that old Nikon digital was a feature called Best Shot Selector (BSS).&nbsp; When turned on, it would shoot three frames in quick succession and then throw out the two with the smallest file sizes.&nbsp; Since sharp images make larger JPG files than blurry ones, this feature would keep the sharpest of the set if there was a difference due to camera motion or focus error.&nbsp; It might do no good on 9 out of 10 shots but could save you if you accidentally jarred it on release.&nbsp; I believe most recent Nikons still have this feature.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
