Forgot how much I enjoy using SLRs

an amateur photographer, loving my digital camera, Picky about pictures

Pros

Great quality, Many features, interchangable lenses, Lenses backward compatible

JUL

2008

I picked up the D80 several weeks ago after playing with my Dad's Nikon SLR and really love it so far. The picture quality is great but I really enjoy the flexibility of interchanging multiple lenses and the response speed of the SLR vs my old point & shoot digital cameras.
I am not a fan of the lenses that come bundled with the Nikon D80 as I've read they are not that great quality wise so I went with the stand-alone camera body and added a Tamron 17-55mm telephoto lens as well as a Nikon 50mm 1.8/f primary lens. I'm very glad I did so as they produce great shots!
