Well finally picked a camera after a few months of debate. Can any one recommend a good site to do some learning? At this point, I am the newb of newbs

Thanks for the links. I got a d300 with a "Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 G ED DX VR " Im really not sure what all that means

damnn going for the baller camera from the start! I just bought a canon 400D ... with the ef-s 15-88 kit lens and ef 75-300mm lens. It's taking forever to come!

Yeah..now I have buyers remorse. I bought it based on my friends recommendation. O well, at least I can save on glass by borrowing his massive collection.

great camera....that's my next step up once i outgrow my d70. the lens is a good starter lens, but i wouldn't say it excels in any one range. yeah, my write up is a bit outdated without the pictures, but you get the general idea.....feel free to PM me or e-mail 210photos@gmail.com with any questions you may have about photography.

^ Thanks, I will definitely take you up on that. Very nice site, I've been browsing it for a while.

haha, I was wondering what happened to the pictures on the write up.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, NEWBIE DSLR CAMERA CLINIC DAY!

congrats on the purchase.
That's a lot to throw down for a first camera

But I'm sure you'll be really happy with it
