Hi AJ!
This camera is very cool!It is a great difference from my Canon and I have still to learn.At the firts time I had problems with the colors settings but I think that I'm managed this now.Then I had problems to take a picture from more as one person.The background was sharp and the persons were blurred.But this was a wrong setting too...I'm sure that you would love this camera too because you know everything from your old Nikon.I'm curious if you want to buy it or not!!
Thank you very much for your kind words...You are really made my day with your nice comments.
Have a great day!
Nicole

Cannot vouch for the taste, but the looks are superb! The colours and sharpness against the grey background are wonderful. The yellow and orange flowers complement the colours of the butterfly beautifully.

AJ

PS. Looking through your portfolio, I've just noticed that you switched from Canon to Nikon. Now I'm not one to beat on about (a) being better than (b), but it does seem that once you get hooked into system (a), there are disincentives to switching system (b). So here's my question: how are you finding the D300? I'm starting to look for a second camera body, and the D300 is currently top of my list.
