It’s smarter than me.

It scares me.

    I have the D40 and 60. In a perfect world, I would own the most expensive Nikon imaginable.

  3. Mindy says

    Nikon all the way.

    And I watched a few honey badger videos.. best part of my day so far.

    Best book I have read is “Understanding Exposure – 3rd edition” By Bryan Peterson. So many light bulbs went off in my head. It’s also the easiest to read, you won’t get that glazed look. I watched videos online on the Nikon Website. It was super helpful. I’m sure there are tons on the Rebel on the Canon website on how to use all those features you had no idea existed šŸ˜‰

    Enjoy!!

    My birthday/christmas list goes something like this:

    – 50mm 1.4
    – Fisheye
    – 100mm
    – Tilt-shift 45mm (I’m REALLY dreaming here)
