<p>Yes that is what i was thinking. but the slow card wont be a bottleneck with the fast card?</p>

<p>I had a D3100 and now have a D610 and i have a question about the SD card slots.<br> I shoot RAW+Jpeg fine with a samsung class 10 card (speed around 20mb p/s). Since my new has two slots I want to buy a new and faster SD card. i want to buy the sandisk extreme pro with 95mb p/s so that my buffer is cleared faster.<br> my setup as it is going to be:</p> <p>D610<br> Slot 1: sandisk extreme pro 95mb p/s speed card - RAW<br> Slot 2: samsung 20mb p/s speed card - JPEG fine</p> <p>Will the speed of the sandisk be reduced, because the second card is slow?</p>

<p>So, even at iso 100, the D610 will perform better with the 18-105 than the D3100? (both downsized to 12mp)</p>

<p>I have a nikon D3100 but I wasn’t happy about the iso performance. Therefore I bought a second hand D610. My only lenses are the 18-105 and the 55-300, they are dx lenses. I don’t always use high iso, so its not necessary to use the D610 as my primary camera. That said, I wouldn’t mind ditching the D3100 altogether.<br /><br />What stops me is that Ive read that the picture quality on the D610 is worse with the 18-105 than on the D3100 because the sensor is bigger, and the higher megapixel count shows the ’flaws’ in cheap lenses. However, if I downsize the 24MP of the D610, will that change anything?<br /><br />I mean, will pictures look better on the D610 after downsizing, or will I be better off to use the D3100 when I don’t need the high iso capabilities?</p>

<p>Sometimes I take photos that are way underexposed due lack of light. what is the correct way to bump up the exposure? Using the brightness slider, or shadow recovery? I've noticed that when I use brightness some bits of the photo tend to overexpose. When I use shadow recovery it gets really noisy.<br> So what do you recommend? If you have better tips, please tell me!</p>
