I am new to DSLR cameras and to be honest I was very intimidated when I opened the box. Now, a few weeks later, I am in love with this camera. Never, and I mean never, will I ever go back to a point and shoot camera. I am not a pro, nor will I impress you with vast knowledge about this cameras features, but what I will tell you is the picture quality is simply amazing. It's like I haven't ever taken a photo before.
Once you get familiar with what f stops do, what shutter speed does, how a flash will effect you pictures, you will get somewhat addicted to taking pictures. And once you realize how changing these settings change your pictures, you will quickly be taking high quality photos. Do a little reading, most of it for free all over the web, you will be able to produce stunning pictures. The battery life for this camera seems to last forever. I have to keep digging my charger out of the drawer because I use it so little. The viewfinder was very confusing at first. Mostly because I never handled a SLR camera before. Do yourself a favor and read the charts in the manual that explain what each one means. This seems obvious but many people shy away because they feel they will never get it. Trust me, you will. I went with the D90 because of the live view on the LCD. To be honest, I use it very little and would rather use the viewfinder now. Focus seems to take longer with live view and I'm sure it would eat the battery up faster. The LCD displays pictures nicely and I can't think of one complaint about it. You will have to hold down small buttons on various locations on the body of the camera while turning a control wheel. This was also confusing at first but it seems almost natural now. The only button location I do not like is the depth of field preview, I have a little trouble finding it without looking, but I use it very little anyway.
A tripod is a must to get nice photos, which is why I'm glad I picked this kit package. Yes, it's not a expensive model and it has a cheap feel to it, but it gets the job done. The cleaning kit is also very important as I had to use it 2 weeks in. The SD card seems to save photos very fast, faster then anything I will ever tap into. Not sure why I needed 2 USB card readers, since most computers have SD slots built in, but that really wasn't the selling point of this package for me. The extra battery was DOA, would not take a full charge. However, the fine people of ACE photography who sold me this kit shipped me a new one ASAP. The camera bag is a little small but gets the job done and protects your camera. It is not going to withstand a major impact like a hard shell case would, but for most regular folks it's fine.
I also purchased the remote shutter release which is a nice addition to have. I have used this many times with low light, longer shutter speeds. The UV lense filter they sent was the wrong size and does not fit the lense. That is the only major complaint I have.
If you are looking for your first SLR camera, this kit is it. It has everything you need to get going. I'm not sure why they call this an entry level camera. The photos I have taken rival that of pros. Perhaps it's the smaller things, like not being weather proofed. I don't know since I'm not a pro. Nikon has my business from here on out until they sell me a lemon. I really don't see me buying another Nikon for a while but if I do, they have my business. Just remember a couple of things. I never handled a SLR camera before and after 4 weeks, I am taking great photos and have learned how to use the majority of it's major modes and features. I am far from a pro but my photos are looking more and more like that with every passing day. You will make a wise purchase if you get this kit.
