Thank you all for your nice comments !!!:D
Well, to be honest, I spend WEEKS looking for THE right camera for me… :o
NIKON, CANON, PENTAX, OLYMPUS, ??? they all have many great cameras.
My former camera was a Panasonic FZ18, a so called "bridge camera" because it fills the gap between PS (Point & Shoot cameras) and DSLR (reflex cameras). But the huge amount of noise in the pictures started irritating me ...:mad:
So this time I went for the dslr because of the better results under bad light conditions; it also had to be a camera with the highest continuous shooting mode possible.
And, lucky me, the one that pleased me most dropped HALF in price !!!
And, lucky me again, also the lens I liked most dropped MORE than half in price !!!
The camera is a "pro" : a NIKON D300 and the lens is a huge 70-300 mm !
I already can tell you : this is the REAL stuff (real stuff that I can afford I mean :p)
Here are some pics of the combo :
As I already mentioned it's a steep learning curve and I'll need plenty of time to explore all the possibillities of the camera …:rolleyes:
