Got a new camera today

[EBorraga]

Alright after weeks of looking and reading I finally bought a camera today. It's a Nikon D40x DSLR with an 18-55 lens. It also came with an extra battery and battery charger and case. I bought a refurbished model from the local camera store. It also came with a 2 year warranty. Total price was $345.69. I think I got a decent deal on this one. Will finally be able to take decent pictures now.

You are going to LOVE that camera! Tremendously sharp images, easy to use.

+1 what Andy said - my pics have gone way up in quality (exposure control, sharpness, contrast, focus...) since I got the D40.

Sorry, but unless your previous camera was a Kodak Brownie the improvement I see is the photographer not the equipment.

Agreed. My old photography instructor used to say that what's behind the camera is much more important than what's inside it.

Well my old camera was a polaroid. There's quite a bit of difference between the 2, Operator included:biggrin:
