Hi all.
I've had mine for just over 2 months now (my 1st DSLR camera). I have to say i'm very happy with it.
I originally wanted a decent camera as we are off on a family holiday to Malaysia (Langkawi) in 2 weeks and wanted something a bit better than my point and shot camera I had. Well, I certainly have that now.
Since getting it, i've got more and more engrossed in photography than I thought I was going to be. I've found it an interesting, challenging and enjoyable hobby. At first it was quite daunting learning about even the basic about aperture, shutter speed and iso but after reading a few books (I found Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson, Complete photography Course by Garrett and Harris and David Busch's Nikon D5000 book very helpful) it's slowly beginning to sink in.
Along with reading, I've found just taking as many shots as possible and learning from then, even if they were poor has helped.
With the camera came the 18-55mm lens and since then I've bought the 35mm 1.8/F and 55-200mm lens. Not tried out the 55-200 yet as just received it but i'm very happy with the 35mm prime lens.
ps, sorry for going on a bit, got a bit carried away
