I recently bought a d200 from a firend who had it as a back up camera and was selling it due to upgrading all his kit to d3 & d300,got at good price and was happy with it up until recently.
Lately i have been shooting in sort of overcast days where the sun isnt quite as bright and it has caused me to use slower shutter speeds,bigger apertures and up the iso if i cant get away with it. But for some reason my pictures arent coming out as sharp as id like nor are they good quality. when i zoom in 100% the picture appears grainy(even when shot ISO100). i also recenlty submitted 4 photos to alamy.com and had all 4 knocked back to due soft focusing and or loss of detail. could this be the camera? or is it me? the more i write this the more i think it could be me rather than the camera. Also the lense i have isnt the best so i could well be compromising quality there also(70-300). i try and keep my post processing to a minimum to try help preserve quality.
anyone any ideas? oh yes, and do cameras sensors wear out?
cheers,
matt
