Nikon D90...at last....

Last Monday my Nikon D90 finally arrived.

Nikon D90 is a little heavy than my old Nikon D60. The settings of the camera is great, I made my adjustments easily. Maybe because I'm used to Nikon settings. I first used a Nikon D100 which was owned by my brother. I used to practice with it until I bought my own DSLR. My first DSLR was the Nikon D60. The Nikon D60 was great, specially for a person who was practicing and trying to learn more about photography as a beginner. It helped me a lot understand what is Shutter Speed, Aperture, ISO and all the basics I need to learn on photography.

When I got my Nikon D90 last monday (thanks to B&H for their fast delivery). I was so excited to try my hands on a D90 that I forgot to took pictures with it while opening it. I also ordered a Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 lens, Lowepro Flipside 200 and a Sunpak tripod. The Tamron lens was great. It was sharp and really great for low light, but, It does have a slow focus sometimes. I love the bag and the tripod fits well on the bag and it's light.

So, far, I'm loving my D90. I can't wait to shoot with it on the weekend...if the weather let me...

Byebye D60...Hello D90!!!

I sold my Nikon D60 plus kit lens (18-55mm zoom lens) to my sister in law. The camera has only 5039 shutter count, which is not much for a used camera. It has no scratch and other problems on the camera. It looks new and feels like new. 

It's a good camera for people who wants to in start digital photography. It has nice menu layout, very simple and easy to navigate on the menu. A Nikon D60 is kinda similar to a Nikon D40. I think it has the same body but different processor and pixel size. 

I will be buying a new DSLR, A Nikon D90. It's a more advance camera than the D60. I would consider it a prosumer camera, because, I know a lot of photographers in the Philippines use this camera to shoot weddings. It's much cheaper than the D300s but the photo quality, they say, is the same with the D300s or to the much cheaper D5000.    It shoots videos in HD too, just like the D5000, but limited to 5 minutes only. I will also buy a new lens (Glass for most photo enthusiast here) which is the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 which is good for low light because of its high aperture. 

I guess that's it for to day...I will update this when I got a hold on my Nikon D90.
