I am quite surprised at how good the images are that I’m getting, especially jpegs. I’m used to shooting raw because I get better files and can squeeze a bit more juicy goodness out of my photos that in-camera jpeg processing does. Surprisingly, this camera does a great job with jpegs in good light situations. That’s the important idea to keep in mind, good light. Kirk Tuck gives this camera a fine review, but realize that he’s a lighting pro, who has written several (good) books on the subject.
IMO this camera is targeted toward two markets. For those moving up from a point and shoot, it’s wonderful. It’s familiar and less intimidating than an SLR. It can create better images than even the best point and shoots. The price is reasonable. It’s attractive and it’s a lot lighter than an SLR. Those people wouldn’t consider shooting in bad light without a flash. They wouldn’t consider deliberate long exposures to smooth motion effects. Those last two areas are not the camera’s… Read more

Nikon D90 12.3MP DXFormat CMOS Digital SLR Camera

I’ve been using this camera for regarding a pair of months currently and i have been very proud of it up to now. I traded up from a Sony DSLR-A230 and i have never once thought of wanting back. i am not knowledgeable photographer and i am not loaded (lowly government employee) and that i haven’t any buyer’s remorse in spending this quantity of cash on a camera. None whatsoever. Understandably it’s attending to be higher than the Sony as a result of it is a mid-range instead of an entry level, however it’s astonishingly higher.
Camera body: terribly solid and feels nice in your hand. i do not have huge or little hands, and it feels close to right on behalf of me. Buttons are laid out properly and every one at intervals fingers reach while not stretching. Aperture and shutter speed dials spin with simply the correct quantity of resistance. Buttons have a firm press and an understandable detent for when they are activated. LCD show on high is great; it’s customizable to what specifically you wish it to show.
Lens: I own the kit 18-105 lens (bought the body on sale and then the kit lens on eBay for $200 refurb… saved somewhat cash) and a 50mm F1.8 lens. VR works fairly well and can permit you to (give or take) shoot regarding three stops slower than you’ll normally hand hold. I will hand hold around 1/15 while not an excessive amount of blur. you’ll be able to positively hear it kicking in and positively see it within the viewfinder. reasonably appears like you are drunk (the motions are slightly delayed and slowed). image quality with the kit lens is additionally fairly smart however with a moderate quantity of linear distortion at the extremes, most notably around 18mm. It’s still somewhat correctable with post-processing, however it’s value noting. Around 24mm is where I’ve noticed the smallest amount distortion. Since it’s an AF-S lens (meaning the focusing is completed by a motor at intervals the lens instead of the screw drive), autofocus is incredibly fast. far better than my 50mm lens that uses the screw drive.

I am sooo in love with this camera!! this is often my initial DSLR camera %26 additionally my initial canon camera purchase. i used to be terrified at the thought of upgrading from my Kodak Easyshare to the Canon Rebel T1i. i used to be afraid i would not be ready to operate the camera that i’d lose several shots. i used to be terribly shocked at how simple this camera is to use! As long as you perceive that you just ought to initial push the shutter manner right down to auto focus, then all the manner right down to shoot, then you ought to don’t have any issues using this camera.
I even have owned this camera currently for one month. I even have taken thousands, yes, thousands of images with it already. I took four35 yesterday in 4 hours of some friends %26 families youngsters riding snow tubes. They turned out perfect!! there have been a few(maybe 10-12) that were blurry, however i’m bound that it had been thanks to one thing I did wrong. I even have taken many portraits of my very own youngsters that individuals have asked where I had them taken at as a result of they looked skilled. I purchased the camera with kit lens %26 additionally purchased the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens.
The lens that came within the kit will alright, simply does not zoom as way as i used to be used to with my purpose shoot 12X zoom. I knew this could be a problem on behalf of me that is why I went on purchased the extra zoom lens. The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens I purchased is awesome!! the sole problem(for my wallet)is that i’d prefer to realize one lens that covers the complete zoom space of the 2 lenses combined 
i am bound that I even have purchased one in every of the foremost wonderful cameras on the market i am unable to wait to be told additional regarding a way to use it to its fullest abilities!! i’d, and DO, suggest this camera to everybody.
