| impulse...
I went to the store to buy a new lens, saved the $$$ for it after a few months of eating at home everyday. While the salesperson was lying to me about how more megapixels make a better camera, I spaced out and grabbed the Nikon D80 (I have had camera envy for awhile). While looking at it, another salesperson asked, "Have played with the D90, yet?"
She opened a cabinet door -not even on display yet- and I swear I heard Angelic Voices. It had to be Devine intervention... ~~~~~~ Defining the impulse:
RIP Zitro_Joe

I added a Lensbaby to the collection. I am no where near good with it. It has a learning curve, for sure. I have seen some spectacular pictures taken with the Lensbaby. Here are some practice shots:           |

| It is a great camera. However, I not totally sure how I feel about the D90. It performs well, I wish it would focus a little faster. Low light performance is great, well beyond my previous cameras (which I still use regularly). However, I feel you are able to get better color quality out the box with the Olympus system. I hate spending time adjusting 'levels' afterwords. I like it right the first time, out the camera. As close as you can get in comparison, some of the quality glass is cheaper with Olympus, However, Nikkor has so many more options available vs the 4/3rds system is still fairly new and there isn't that many option out there. The view finder on the D90 blows Olympus out the water. The optical viewfinder in Olympus cameras is so small. Tech upgrades on the D90 are great, 12.3MP, High ISO, Live mode, movie capture ability and it can take SDHC cards( I really like that). I don't know that I really needed Lv view since I haven't used it yet, but the movie mode has been a nice addition. Granted, it's not great, but still nice. I also bought the 50mm f1.8 but it is still in the box. I was able to get it NIB for just over $100, so I couldn't pass it up. Linda - yes, I am at Offutt AFB, NE. I was stationed here four years ago for four years. I have been TDY here for a month and I am ready to return home to Erin, Abigail and Elijah. z_joe |
