If you're serious about photography, though, you should save up for the d7000 and not buy this camera. I made a terrible error in judgment by not waiting the recommended three months before making a purchase. Put your whale optics on the rack. I invested in a 50mm af-s 1.4 lens, and the results are whale-sized. There are other 2x and 3x teleconverters, as well as the exceptionally sharp Helios 81N portrait lens and the Kaleinar 5N (which I stopped using after purchasing a 50mm) (useful when you need a telephoto). A simple method that may be used for teen portraits, family pictures, or even just for you.
