Well my ne Nikon D90 turned up today, feels so much nicer than the old D40 I lost. Now to learn to use it. Also need to find some dollars to get some better lens as I am only left with a kit 55-200 non vr lens and already missing a smaller lens.
cheers

Good on you Blaze, now shop for the awesome and cheap Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 for low light and portraits. It will give tou a frame equal to a 75mm in a full frame body.
Do not go for kit lens, it is money on the drain, if there is not enough daugh for Nikon glass there are some good Tokina, Sigma and Tamaron models available.
Cheers

Congratulations :) I've have mine for over a year and a half and still love it. They are awsome cameras. I've got the 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 DX lens and it is the most versitile lens I have ever had, a little faster might have been nice but hell you can't have everything :)

Cheers,

Join the club, I'm still very happy with mine.
You have undoubtedly come across the following site, but if not have a read, but don't believe everything he says.

Have fun

I got mine a few months back and I have had a ball with it well so to speak taking a heap of action shots of my son and his footy team in action.
