I was choosing between the d90 and a couple more cameras from other manufacturers and this unit. Chose 3 months! I re-read the entire Internet, including foreign forums . I took the last one. Then I compared the pictures - the 90th behaves better in terms of noise. At 3100, the colors are warmer on the new OWN Nikon matrix. I advise everyone who takes fotik for the family. I talked with specialists in photography, their main idea is that the main thing is to be able to take pictures, and you can shoot a masterpiece on your phone + you can improve a lot in photography by processing files in RAW (NEF) format. Checked - a couple of minutes in Capture NX2 (a standard program for editing NEF files), simple manipulations - and the photo becomes many times better than the JPEG obtained with the camera The most important thing that this unit gives is the desire to take pictures on it, a passion for photography. before that, the Casio soap dish lay for a long time, I photographed it extremely rarely (I didn’t even want to take it in my hands), I took more pictures on the phone, since I always take it with me. Now I often take Nikon with me, I specifically look for good shots and take pictures, take pictures, take pictures. What do you wish! While I take the number of photos, and the quality, I hope, will not keep you waiting)))) I am already studying the literature on photography. Happy shopping!
