That a good thing to have.

Well it was a dissapointment for me with the D5200. I still getting these blurry picture no matter how I adjust this knob and config out the menu. Changing through all the ISO, F, and apertured? It still giving me the blurry picture. It will focus to the front then the second picture would focus behind the object ( Tripod has been use ). This is all in manuel mode. Auto-Focus start to notice the blurry where you want the red box is lock on. (...edit.. )... I am thinking about sending it to some store that can test it for me to see if I got a lemon unit then I will exchange it to the D7100 or D7000. Also the D5200 does not come with AF auto tune... The counterpart, D5100 has the 2mm screw inside the sensor that you can adjust by manually but the D5200 does not come with that feature. Sending it back...   

Since I already got two len. I get the D7100 w/o the len then the price is about the same as the total cost of the D5200.

...update...ju ne 23,2013...
........Pack it back in the original box and getting ready to sent it back. Already email customer service for the CNA, in order to return a item. I explained it was having focus problem and that was it. Hopefully a response. I am replacing it with the Nikon d7100 and if this one fail too, as I also heard of bad focus problem. I am heading toward Canon.

[Some night shot for those stars ]

Behind my back yard. With the city light, you can't really see most of the star with your naked eye's.

35mm len shot...


18-55mm len shot... same setting to the 35mm len.


Did change abit of the contrast and brightness. First time ever use a camera to captured some stars that alot of my old camera can't capture... Every white, orange dots you see, represent a star [ another distance sun actually ]. I don't have a tripod yet to get a clearer shot of the moon.

I change often so I normally shoot lower ISO in the day time with 1/500 to 1/125 and F5.6 to F22. It all depend outside light source that I will need to change. Also the flash and exposure compensation are set at +0.3, which I don't really learn much, and not bother it alot yet... 

I use the 18-55mm len this time. I adjust this little knob near the magnifer that allowed me to adjust the focus more accurate which I think is causing the mix view through the view finder for me to get the blurry part...

Well the hunting is coming up in a few more month and very anticipated to use it to shoot some hunting video.

I think the D5200 have something similiar to that setting which I have not bother yet. I got the 35mm because the low light and the price. I say it is ok len. I believe I choose the D5200 over the 24.1 mp and the 1080 60p, and the swivel screen. The thing about it is the manuel mode, it take alot of blurry picture even though  you can see it clearly in the view finder. This camera take good picture in auto focus through the len. I think the view is too small. I use the viewfinder alot now since I can see it better in manuel mode. Im getting use to it now.

Sorry... I was just kidding. I'm thinking of getting the 300mm if possible. Anything higher is in the thousand $$ range... But I think I want the D3x someday. lol I got from the mail was the 35mm 1.8G len. As told that is good in low light.
I took it outside and take some shot. Still blurry. More adjustment done and look like it did calibrate a bit but I test it again. The auto seem to work fine. Alot of tuning which is a headache.

Moon... Yeah I did play with it alot. I like the fact that it shoot 23+ shot in 15 second with out removing my hand from the button... In just 1 and half days. I took over 1000's randomly picture. I like how the sound of the camera make when you take a picture.

I also turn off D - lighting from another user recommend.

Surprisely, I recieved my second lens today. I will test it later today or by tomorrow.

I got the D5200. Yeah. I found the button for M - A. Today I shot it with auto mode, the len and the camera. It did come out good. Then switch it to manuel. Now I change the 1/125, F13, ISO 640 in RAW.  I start to learn to use it. I watch a reviewer that this camera does not really shoot at 24.1mp but actually a  10 mp... but sometime I look at these picture and I starting to believe in him.  I look at other people reported that it has a back focusing problem which I think mine is doing it too. I wait for the second lens to come next week and see if it make any different. If mine was the back focus problem then I'll return it. It is not to par to my point and shoot camera... lol

When I take picture. I zoom into the target looking into the taploid or view finder, you can clearly see it is a clear for shot but then you transfer it to the PC, and bammm, blurry or distortion...

Today I recieved my nikon DSLR. I took it out of the box and attached the lens. Somehow the len would not auto focus then I notice the front of the len got stuck. I play with it and got it turning smooth. I took some picture and the picture would be blurry and a few shot would look alot better. I still learning to config the menu and stuff. I somehow did make one shot in the dark and come out clear which I forgot how to do that again. I fear I may recieved a bad unit. Alot of the picture look blurry.  But other told me that the len that came with it is crap. I am waiting on the second len next week cause they told me it was out of stock.

The best ammo for the 22LR are the CCi mini-mag High velocity... Shoot clean and not alot of duds shot... Don't buy them winchester super X. They have duds shot. Half of the super x either shoot but is weak shot... I miss my 22lr lol... Think of getting the Marlin 60 series again. The one u load into the tube... U can carry hundreds of ammo in your shack...
