Rated 4 out of 5

Great beginner DSLR

I bought this for a vacation just really wanting a better photographic experience. I got it! The photo bug that is. GREAT photos and easy to use. Have since gotten a D90, but still use this one as a backup on certain shots to save time from lens changes although it doesn't take long to change one. If you think you REALLY like photography save a little more and get the D90 with the advanced features. You will thank me, but this really is a great camera. I love Nikons!
