Hi everyone.

5 weeks ago I posted an http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=280x83688#83738">OP asking for help on making a really tough decision between the Nikon D7000 and the Canon EOS 7D. I received some very helpful advice and comments/observations and would like to express my sincere gratitude for all of them.

What finally pushed me over the edge was looking at the future and what would be my dream camera if money were no object. So, after doing further research, I concluded that the http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond3s/">Nikon D3s is my dream camera.

Also, my brother has a D80 and we can share our lenses when we go on a photography expedition together.

So, Nikon it is. I'm super excited and I LOVE IT!

The only problem is, the manual is in Indonesian so I'm having to try and learn it by trial and error and by reading the English PDF (not printable) version of it which is available from Nikon USA's site. I will probably end up buying one or two of http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=nikon+d7000+&x=14&y=20">the books about D7000s available on Amazon.

These are a few of the 1st shots I took with it, they're on auto so please forgive some of the glare (I'm learning Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Nikon's Capture NX2 which will help me work out how to fix that, too).







I would really like to get involved in this group, if that's ok with you guys.

Regarding the monthly competitions, is there a set of rules/guidelines a newbie like myself can check out?

Thank you again for all your input which assisted me with making this life changing decision!
