It's been awhile since I came to this site. I took a little break and I'm back here. I finally got a digital camera, Nikon D7100 (still good!). The camera is crisp and fantastic to enjoy, although it was incredibly complicated to use the camera for the first time. For instance, I was having a hard time to understand the buttons and the "other" side of the button, such as the ISO and the Zoom out are in the same button. Overall, I'm really happy to get my first DSLR camera.
So, does anyone want to tell me about their first DSLR camera?
Well, welcome back! I hope you're having fun with your new D7100 (share some images with us!).
First DSLR was a Nikon D60--loved that camera and thought it was the best in the world. I resisted digital and continued to use my film SLRs for quite awhile, though I did buy an Olympus digital point and shoot. And the newspaper I worked for back in 2000 loaned me something digital to shoot stories I was reporting, but I don't remember the brand.
It took me awhile to get used to the controls on my D60 but eventually it all became second nature. I used it for about five years--added a couple of great lenses to nurse it along, but eventually decided it couldn't quite handle the night sky photos I wanted to do. Sold it to my neighbor for a very small amount of money, and he is still happily using it and loving it. Great little camera!!!
