CAMERAS
I currently have 2 cameras. Nikon D40. It’s pretty cool model from Nikon. It’s beginner level SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera. It produces 6.0 mega pixel photos (effective) at maximum ISO rating of 3200 with boost. It captures 2.5 fps (frames per second) with continuous shooting mode. It’s with me almost everywhere I go. It’s been a good companion of me for a year plus.
I have got Nikon D90 in Apr 2009. I love the EXPEED image processing engine which capture 4.5 fps (frames per second). This 12.3 megapixel gun will be a gadget to polish my PORTRAIT skills.
