Imagine my reaction when I checked this thread again...
Anyway, I am very pleased with the D90. The in-camera photo processing is really nice and the slideshow etc. features are nice, but probably won't use them much.
I am by no means a pro or even semi-pro, yet. I was just looking for a camera upgrade, obviously a dSLR, and with the video record function, this camera fits MY needs nicely and that's why I got it. Even though the video is only 720p and has a minute limitation, it was a better trade off than the Canon 50d, which has none and I didn't want to spend another $600 to go for the 7D.
It's funny how the Canon snobs in here act as if the D90 is a cheap Taiwan knock-off with retarded picture quality. But, I guess that is how it is.
I am coming from a little Cannon SD550.
As far as the lenses go. I thought I wouldn't need many as I'm not that far in the weeds right now, but I can tell I already want one that zooms a good bit more.
I have had alot of fun with the camera this weekend and already went through a battery.
It came just in time to capture my newest mod, CF chargepipe!
I have not modified any settings but here is a pic of the pipe and one of my new x-mas puppy!
