I am pleasantly surprised with both improvements on the D200 considering I am still using the same lenses as with the D40. So while quality is often a result of the lens more than the body... the body can influence the quality of image as well... my guess is due to the electronics in the image processing since the sensors are of the same type, DX.

That's interesting. I'd always assumed that chromatic aberration was wholly a lens problem, but maybe not...

Well stated Tamlin. But, isn't most of the language these days in our technological world becoming like that.

I would suggest that is the case Synthetic, all down to your sensor being far better, not sure on the chromatics though as Tamlin stated.

Hi all first ever post (apparently my second post) another senior moment...

Have just moved over to digital photography from film many principles still apply...

The lower the ISO used the less noise, so use a tripod where needed, this probably means a cable release or using self timer on camera if available. Most cameras even lower spec ones have a timer, use it! No tripod, make yourself a beanbag or rest the camera on something. Virtually all pro landscape photographers use these techniques to get cracking sharp pictures with low noise. If it works for them it works for me.

Noise reduction in Photoshop CS if you have the program is ethier available as a plug in or you can make your own adjustments from channels (blue channel normally carries most noise)

Great site, tutorials and forums I have learnt so much in such a short time about the digital era.

Thanks to all
