This is great DSLR camera. I’ve owned this for server years, for photography purpose. Nikon has a grand slam with this camera. Sure, there are "better’ cameras for more money, but they are all twice the size and weight. This camera performance is a outstanding. Lots of ingenious user interface elements, superb feel/handling, superb flash, awesome image capturing quality, instants response. Its a little late now but this would be nice camera for someone just staring a out in digital photography, like wild and natural seen. Overall great camera.
