Looking to upgrade cameras soon, I have the nikon d3100 now, what do you guys think should be my next one? I really just want better image quality, thats the main priority right now. In the $800 - $1200 range.

Ah that makes sense. I shoot in RAW+JPEG since I don't do much shooting anyway and I just realized that in that mode it only allows you to shoot in "Large" anyway.
For me no. You always want to shoot at the largest possible size. In this case, I always shoot RAW no matter what since I'm going to convert the image/images to JPEG. anyways.
I notice that a lot of you guys photos are VERY bright or overexposed IMO. Why is that? Do y'all prefer it to be over than underexposed?

So if higher MPs produce more noise/grain would shooting at a smaller image size be better, especially at high ISOs?You only really need 6MP's or higher. Higher MP's give you more noise/grain as well.
Car broken into got my sony/zeiss 55mm 1.8 stolen
Gone for 5 min in daylight. Be cautious out there gentlemen.
Daym that sucks. Sorry to hear that...those Zeiss don't come cheap either.
Sorry to hear that. Man I never leave my gear in my car. I'll walk around with my pack on my side all day before I do.

Does anyone in here use Instagram for Android? I've always thought that the app reduces the IQ of my pics but I figured it was just me being paranoid or something. After using the app for a couple years I finally decided to look into it and apparently it's a well-known issue. I remember when IG first came out for Android iOS users would claim that supporting Android would reduce the overall quality of content posted. I guess there is some truth to those claims lol. I just think it sucks that such a popular app can ignore a huge chunk of its users.
Anyone know any ways to mitigate this issue?
Yeah, I definitely don't expect IG to improve or maintain image quality but from what I was reading this morning it seems that iOS uploads tend to be better. And what you're saying is definitely true; my older photos looks like crap compared to more recent ones. And yeah, definitely some quality Android uploads on Instagram.I mean all photos on IG will downgrade their image quality to a degree. I am almost positive that it's not specific to Andriod. I don't think all of the people I follow use iPhones and most stuff I see are still quality work. You can help with the photos with sharpening it before you post it up. IG keeps having updates with all the new phones which effect the way images look in the long run. If you look at some of your older photos that were done months ago, they will now look somewhat blurry.

Granted that article is a few months old so Instagram may have had some major updates since then. I'll have to see what I can do in terms of sharpening/processing before posting things up on IG. I just think it kinda sucks that Android users have to go through extra work to upload pictures that look as nice as iOS ones. Or maybe I'm just biased.
Thanks for the response though.
I'm looking at the 6D as well. I currently have the 70D, but the idea of a full frame has me intrigued. Not sure whether to trade it or save up and wait till the 6D Mark II comes out.Hoping the 6D will drop to 1300 during black friday :/.
