I purchased one of these about a month ago along with a 55-200mm second lens. I started my photography hobby "back in the day" of developing my own film, doing my own color and B&W prints, etc. and loved my old film-based Nikon and RIcoh cameras. But as my life got busier with family etc I let that hobby go. But with the advent of digital cameras with good quality and good apps for computer editing I got back into. At first with the lower end cameras like a Canon G2 and Powershot models. They were convenient but photo quality wasn't that good and they struggled with many tougher situations. Plus my hold SLR hobbiest self objected to the lack of creative control. With the newer DSLRs that are available around $600 I took another look and felt the features and quality were ready for purchase decision. After comparing with the XTi from Canon I selected the Nikon because I found it's features easier to use and comprehensive. And most important the quality of the images is superior to the Canon.

I just took this camera and lens on a trip through Chicago and the desert Southwest and shot 2700 pictures.It is light and can be waved around effortlessly. I attached a wrist strap as well as the neck strap and it has never fallen out of my hand. Sometimes the focusing needs a double attempt, but it usually does the job well, and use shutter priority above 1/250 or 1/320 to get anything moving (of course). I stay in aperture mode most of the time to make use of this great lens with very highly rated resolution numbers from photozone.de. I tested the D40 and kit lens as well, and this camera delivers one more 'step' in resolution,and this lens puts it FAR ahead of the D40 and its 18-55mm in results and useability. I know some may differ. I didnt notice any difference in file writing times. The SD format is a breeze compared to xD.This lens is about a 28-210 equivalent, plenty for most uses. Yes, you may want a longer VR lens for fancier work, but I'm sure glad I'm not switching lenses
