With my wife owning a D7000 now I just couldn't stand my K200 anymore seeing
for myself the results of 1600 ISO on newer cameras. I have never been one to
buy the latest camera, always a generation behind. With the D90 being phased
out I can say from what I am seeing here at home last night the D90 is still an
awesome camera, even up against the D7000.
Nothing against the K-7 however, it is a great little brick of a body. It was the
Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 "micro" lens that did it for me. This kind of lens that Nikon puts
out is and was my decision to jump camps. All of its specs along with an
aluminum body probably considered a "Limited" lens if it had a Pentax name on it
except its price is under $500.
Overall I have to say the D90 is a very impressive camera and already owning a
D50 at one time, jumping back into the Nikon menu system was a smooth
transition.
Purpose of this post besides my new purchase? It was the B&H Manhattan mega
store experience. I s*i* you not, the DSLR counter is approx. 100' long!
You stand in line looking at a large LCD flat screen TV waiting for the next avail
sales associate to pop up on screen telling you which one to go to. I have never
seen or experienced anything like it until yesterday.
