This is my first DSLR and have had it just over a week. Nothing worth posting photo wise but I thought I would offer my early opinions.
1) My first choice was a Canon 50D because it felt very comfortable in the hand and it seemed easier to use.
2) The Nikon is very easy to us, not as impossing as I thought it maybe.
3) Love all the buttons for quick access.
4) Not as comfortable as the 50D in my hands but will get used to it.
5) Very happy I bought a body with LCD top plate, it really does make life easier.
6) The viewfinder is stunning.
7) The build quality is amazing.
8) The weight is fine.
9) P program is great if you just need to take a photo quick.
10) The manual is better than expected. Dont think I will need a third party book when they become available.
11) Looks better than the Canon in the flesh, not that that is important.
12) Can't see why I would use LiveView, but time will tell.
13) Video? as above.
14) The Nikkor 50mm 1.4 is a delight and great for understanding aperture.
15) The Sigma 18-250 does what it says on the Tin and is ideal for a learner like me. Makes me understand how Apertureand Shutter speed interact with each other for £200 pounds less than Nikon product.
16) Spent £500 pounds more than I really wanted, but it was worth it.
17) I now have a fourth, to add to my list of the greatist man made objects, the Spitfire, Concorde, the iphone and now the D300s.
18) Very happy just enjoying my new toy.
