Anyone into photography?

Barry,

Yes, there's no live view on the D3000 and I was a bit concerned about that. I'll have to look through the Nikon range a little closer and make some comparisons.

Have fun with the D90.

Hi all,

I have recently invested in the Canon 500D. worked out a grand for the camera and a lense. Before that I had a Canon 350D. The 500D is 15.1mp ..I know they say dont buy based on this but as I have printed pics up to 30 x 40 inches before it worked out well for me. Mine came as a bundle deal from Jessops so came with a lense, a memory card, and some filters. seven day shop online are worth looking at for cheap memory cards and other photography stuff. I used them alot during my uni days, saved on cost.

I did look at the Nikon that some of you are talking about my I am used to my Canons now and had lenses already etc. Though wouldnt rule out in getting a Nikon as well when I win the lottery.

Before that Ive got a medium format camera on my list to save up for. I have a degree in photography and Im afraid as handy as digital is nothing beats the developing of film and handprinting for gallery prints.

Also.. just a note on the shop assistants. dont be too hard on them. Having worked in a camera shop Im aware the staff often get no training on the camera side of things. There is also no qualification needed to get the job.. I dont think they even looked at my CV when they hired me. We only sold compact cameras and even then I was just lucky I knew about cameras any way. I know London Camera Exchange trains their staff .. I was offered a job there once on the basis that I had to pass exams regulary to keep my job there. and Im lucky theres a guy in my local Jessops who knows what hes talking about. Always worth going into a store and asking to test the cameras out then looking online for cheaper deals

Anyone got any of their photos online?

by the way Ive heard the Nikon D90 is worth considering over the latest Nikon in that range.

It's like buying a new printer. With most of them, especially Epson, you have to buy a USB lead to make it work. You'd think they would supply one after all they aren't exactly expensive.

Hi there,

I use a Nikon D90 and I am very pleased with it. I bought mine with a 18-105 mm lens from Jessops in Norwich.
For convenience sake when I am out with my family I use a Panasonic Lumix TZ7 which has a Leica lens the results are knockout.

This link below shows the basics of how to use the Nikon D90
