I had a $75 GE A835 with 8MP capture and 3X optical zoom. Being lazy folks neither me nor my wife take much interest in shooting snaps while visiting places. We rather tend to enjoy the moment. I started developing an interest for photography and capturing interesting things and decided to get my self a Digital SLR almost an year back. But postponed it so far and finally got the Nikon D90 just ahead of our trip.
Being a newbie to SLR, I’m still learning the buzzwords and all the controls and menu options available. I still don’t know what all those tiny buttons are for in my camera :-) . But one thing I love about my D90 is the fact that it’s smart enough to do all the settings for you including ISO, White balance and Flash control you can use it like a Point and shoot. Of course it’s much heavier with the lens and all… it doesn’t fit in my packet either. But it’s far better than the much costlier D300 (and comparable in terms of picture quality with the much more costlier D3) or the canon equivalents. Easy to use Movie shooting is another plus. (Though you don’t get stereo sound or advanced movie shooting options).
In short for the 1250+ bucks(Including the 18-105mm VR Lens and other accessories) I spent I think it’s worth every cent. Looking forward to explore this further. Here’s the first shot that I took using my D90 (Of course, it’s pathetic :-)).
But in a matter of few weeks I should be able to shoot some real good pictures. (Yes, I should at least motivate myself by saying this, Shouldn’t I?).
