New to CS


Welcome to cs. D80 is not bad already =)
 

Hello all, I am new to ClubSNAP. Lots of views and personal experiences being shared in the forums - great for picking up new skills & ideas. Please continue sharing your views :) :thumbsup:
Have been a Nikon user all this while - I have a D80 + AFS 18-200mm VR1 + AF 50mm f1.8d. At some point hope to be able to "upgrade" to the D7000 :bsmilie:.

Welcome to CS.
 

Welcome to CS :)

Recommend you to hold on to your gear till you're confident, and move on with an FX instead of D7000 if you can afford one :)

Lots of practice n savings needed till then :)
 

Welcome!
 

Thanks for all your welcome messages. Two things (among many other good thing) that I like about the D80 is the body size, not to heavy but able to deliver good performance, and the ease of the control buttons. Of course progress continues in the form of other models (like the D7000) but using the D80 at the Botanic Garden recently reminded me how much I enjoyed this DSLR.
I must admit my thoughts of upgrading to D7000 is pretty much a "desire" rather than "a must" :).

if you have the budget go for it. it should last you for years...
 

Welcome!
