I just picked up this gem... Hope to be having some fun with it soon!

Any thoughts on the D90? I figure it's been out long enough that some of you photo nuts would have some insight into it?

Best,

Phil

Being a 1.5:1 camera, you might not get quite the dramatic effect you thought you were going to with that lens. For best effect, you'd need a 1:1.......(I think)

Phil,
My nephew has that exact combination of lens and camera, check out his album link so you can see for yourself, that lens gives a very WIDE and dramatic look:

Cool. That lens is an expensive little guy for prime, but it looks so darn fun.

I don't have the 90, I'm just looking into it. I've worn the finish slick on my D40, which I purchased right when they came out. I'm no expert photographer (As indicated by the D40 equipment.lol), but I'm also not one that ever shoots in "auto" either... So somewhere between your skill level and point-n-shooter--albeit clost to the point-n-shooter

...

The 90 looks very promising with the better ISO selection, auto/smart delighting, better sensor, and on-board focusing servo.... I've got pretty solid lenses, with Nikon's 18-200mm and the fisheye, but now I feel like I need to upgrade the body... The 80 doesn't seem like much of a step up from the 40, so I was thinking 90...

Any insight is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Phil

I did not take these photos but they are of my car. This guy takes some amazing pictures. This is his first photo shoot of a car. I'm impressed with how well they turned out.

you pretty much nailed the D90 Phil! if your going to take some odd-angled shots the live view button will be most welcomed! I used the live view feature a lot when I took the rig shots.
Yeah, the D90 looks like a great deal.

jwood - beautiful Exige!
