I've finally bought a camera!

I've finally bought a new camera, after loads of looking i decided on a nikon dslr. i've just bought a ex shop display camera it's a nikon d70s exactly the same as this with same lense. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...biblionmay9-21 Hopefully i will be getting some pics up very soon so you can give me tips on what i'm doing wrong and hopefully one day soon i'll be as good at taking photos as some of you lot. I look forward to learning loads and having fun. Thank you sis for pointing me in the right direction and researching the cameras for me speak soon.

Re: I've finally bought a camera!

what would be a good all round lens to get? would really love to take pics of birds of prey! so would be quite far away but would like a lens i can use for landscapes, people etc basically a good all round lens at a not to expensive price!

Re: I've finally bought a camera!

55-200 vr is about £135
18-55 which is the kit lens is about £70

Might be worth starting a new thread on lens advice in case some of the Nikon owners miss this, and perhaps post your budget and what kind of photos you want to take too
