That being said I haven't learned to use it yet so right now my pictures are turning out better when I do use my point and shoot. I'll be working on learning it a lot this month.

My New Baby - Finally Upgrading!
I am finally moving up in the world. This weekend I bought a Nikon D40X with a 18 to 135 mm lens off of my little brother. I am super excited! Finally we are moving out of the world of point and shoots.
That being said I haven't learned to use it yet so right now my pictures are turning out better when I do use my point and shoot. I'll be working on learning it a lot this month.
Wish me luck and share your advice if you know anything about making the switch to digital SLRs. Hopefully I'll be able to take same great photos soon and it will lead to better scrapbooking.

Congratulations! That's the first DSLR I bought too & had it for 3 years before upgrading to a Nikon D5000. To move forward you always have to go backwards & yes your photos will be worse for a while until you learn what's what. Read the manual as & when you can - it's the best way - I keep mine in the car so that whenever I am waiting for kids I learn a little bit more ;-D
ReplyDeletefirst of all.. thats a pretty sweet lens. and 2nd.. since ur just starting out it'll probably work out best for you right now to leave it in the AUTO mode. good luck!
ReplyDeleteYou'll love it. I have a D50. I keep mine on the program mode most of the time. Remember to set your ISO in most situations at 400. The zoom lens will be nice.
ReplyDeletewow, such a great camera - lucky you :D
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous...I'm waiting for my hubby to buy me something like that for Christmas, I'm even ready to pretend it's a surprise :)
