Digital Rivalry...

Finally! I've made up my mind to put my trust in NIKON... Well, i's not an easy and simple decision to make... Actually, I was this close ( u can't see my expression eh?, ;p) to end up with Canon... Before this, I've really done my homework with Canon and only a little about NIKON... It was really a hard decision... Most of my DSLR gang are using NIKON and it was a dilemma for me... I don't want to end up having to purchase the lenses alone as they're veryyyyyy expensive, either Canon or NIKON...

So, advise NO 1, if possible, make up a team or join a photography club when you're just beginning to play around with this technology...

Yeah, the same question arises to as which DSLR manufacturer is the best... For me, all of them have their own advantages...

There's this joke at photokaki; "There is no C in NIKON, so buy Canon"

Welll, OOOOKAY... That helps a lot... There's no K in Canon either right guys?? hehehe...
NIKON rules!!

Anyway, back then, it was really between 400D, 450D, 40D, D60,D80 and D300...
Well, maybe not 40D or D300 as they're way expensive and that it's a shame and waste if you got a pretty advance DSLR with a lot of features in it but, you can't make full use of it...
So, i decided to go for the beginners lvl first... OK, that two out, and four to go...

400D is an old model, but 450D a new one... The same goes for D60 and D80... But for me, the transitions between 400D and 450D is not that great.. The major ones are the added pixels and the liveview mode... which is not favorable... If I'm a 400D user who's looking for a better camera, I would go for 40D as your 'UPGRADING' rather than 'UPDATING'...

That's the Canon story...

For me, D60 is much more like a baby DSLR, similar to D40 and D40x...
and finally, I'm left with only 450D and D80....

Well, I've heard of rumors that NIKON is going to replace D80 with a new model sometimes late this year... That's why you can see that the price for D80 is going down... But, we'll never know for sure until the time comes... and also, if I keep waitin', i'm never goin to get myself one...

FINALLY, I made up my mind, and the pictures taken speaks for themselves...
hehehe...

They don't call it the best DSLR in it's range for nothing...

Growing Hobby.... :)

yayyyy!!
finally, I've got myself my own baby...
and it's a D80...
hehehe...

anyway, I've always wanted to have one of these 'gun'... and, I really put a lot of effort for this baby... and right now, I'm having fun with her...

Check out some of my first portrait photos that I've taken during the PPIA photograph workshop held at UQ last weekend...
