Thanks, happy you like the hybrid... Paula, I use a Nikon D90 with a macro lens. I have used a pretty normal Fujifilm (basic point and shoot) with macro capability for a number of years with not so results. So it depends on what you want to do, some of the point & shoots that is just below SLR's are doing a great job, I wanted to do more birding pics so I upgraded and recently got a 500 lens for that purpose, but it get pretty expensive...for normal day to day and internet stuff or more advanced photography would be the question you need to answer. Love my Nikon, but there are some other great options too.

hehe, Marina even with the "Nikon automatic" having much easier color, your artistic composition and BEAUTIFUL ROSES AND BOUQUETS are top-notch and non-duplicable, lol! You can definitely tell too that mine is the lower Canon Rebel versus the dream Canon D, but at least the Rebel is wayyyyy better than most folks' cameras. The Canon D is the best but again, you really have to know how to shut out the light to get the colors and it takes tripod and the professional steadiness to get the full glory of the Canons or else its only half *ss. Whereas all my non-professional dog agility friends get Nikon Ds instead, and their agility photos have such wonderful color captures. My hands are also too unsteady and my eyesight is poor so I have to take tons of photos to pick out which photo is clear once I download to the big screen of the computer. Because my Fancy Camera is not as good as the Canon D end and lacks the Macro Lens, I will get frustatingly blurred areas if I get too close to the bloom and I have to choose between color accuracy and beauty of shadow and light contrast versus "grain".

Do you own a DSLR camera?
Q

An SLR is single lens reflex, which ultimately means that what you see in the viewfinder is what will be "photographed". As opposed to cameras that use two lenses, AKA rangefinders "or the little automatic cameras), one is the viewfinder, the other is the lens which can cause a little disparity in what you shoot vs what you are seeing. The D-DSLR is just the digital version of the SLR camera. I have mostly Nikons, the D-40 which is lighter and smaller than the regular DSLRs and the D70, D100 & D200. I also buy last years model, which are perfectly fine and usually on sale. The D60 is the newer, smaller version available and often comes with a two lens package. Best thing you can do is actually do some hands on shopping. You will probably find that ultimately there won't be a whole lot of difference in quality/price between Canon & Nikon and you just have to decide and stick with it. Also you might consider buying an extra battery, an extra card, external flash and neutral density filter to protect the glass on the lens. And don't forget to backup your photos! Use DVD or external hard drive.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to check out my beginning pictures. Picked up a book on the D90 yesterday by Magic Lantern Guides. The book is good at describing the basics of DSLR's but not specific to the D90. Today I will watch the included DVDs, there must be more specific info on them. If that doesn't help I will go get the "For Dummies" book. Awm03, thank for saying they look clear & sharp, but that is one thing I am disappoint with. I am going to try using a tripod and different focus modes. I hope I am not expecting too much. Thank you again.

We are looking for this camera. Where is a good place to find a good price. We also want to make sure that the lens are Nikon and not some other brand. Seems to be a problem if you buy on line.

Hi, I just received mine after searching and scouring after an extensive comparison of brands etc. I decided on the D90 & the best deal I came up with both price and "terms" was from Amazon.com
$1159 for the kit with 18-105Vr and the best part was when I put it in my basket that it said this purchased qualified for 12 month no interest no payment. I read the fine print and decided to call Amazon to make sure. I got the electronics finance dept. and it's legit. You just apply which took all of a minute,,s/s# etc. but not much more info was needed. They answered in less than a minute.
CATCH,,,you much pick the one WHERE Amazon is the SELLER,,,not cameta or some others for this 12 month thing to apply. FINE. I really researched this whole thing, read reviews etc. the site Dpreview.com is so helpful. They have a forum just for Nikon, D90-D40 and answered a lot of questions I had about the camera, where to find, who was reputible seller etc. Also I can recommend a few books that they recommended....Scott Kelby book on Digital photography,,amazon price $13,,Understanding Exposure book by Peterson,, I think (has a pretty sky background with a lighthouse or house on it,,comes up on search with lots of people 5 starring it. This site turned me onto a nikon digitutor that walks you through a lot on this particular camera and is very helpful as it shows a video with talk and shows you so much. I'm new to DSLRs so I need all the help I can get. The D90 has a great auto mode that I can use while I learn. Hope this helps you get the camera you want. I really like mine. Nicole
