I love my new camera
This is just a drive by post, but I just wanted to say that this camera and combination of lenses (Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G AF-S & Nikkor 18-200mm VR) rocks my socks. Here are a couple of quick examples (Click on any of the pictures to view them larger) :
I’m still learning all the controls and settings and toying with absolutely everything, but it’s remarkable how forgiving it is of my failings as a photographer. I can only hope I get better from here.

oooh SO jealous of your new 18-200mm lens! I get tired of switching lenses between shots for far away or up close.

Love the depth of field…and the spider shot is my favorite…

Yeah, the 18-200mm is pretty sweet as a do-it-all utility lens. I got mine refurbished. There’s no zoom creep on mine, which is a pretty common complaint for those. The 50mm really translates to a very fast 75mm since it’s made for FX cameras and this is still a DX, but that makes it great for portrait stuff like the picture of Mike or indoor stuff where you need a lot of light and don’t want to use a flash.
