Helpful consumer’s review
camera to get to grips with – lots of menus etc. and what appears to be a steep learning curve. However, once the battery is charged and you first handle the camera, it becomes fairly intuitive,requiring a bit of exploration followed by taking some initial snaps. Suddenly you are taken by surprise at how efficiently everything works. I couldn’t believe how quickly the standard lens finds focus – not in particularly low light, but low enough for a handheld shot, I focused and reframed several times before I realised that it works almost instantly. Shots are clean and of good quality: low light focus can be dealt with manually and the handbook advises this, which I think is a good idea and something a good DSLR should be able to do well. I read innumerable reviews before deciding on this two lens kit and tried a colleagues Nikon D40 which impressed me with it’s handling and quality. This is more expensive, but adds value to what the NIkon has to offer. It is smallish without being tiny and has a good weight and balance that makes it comfortable to use. It’s not a pro camera, but could easily be used in situations where a bulky camera would be inconvenient, so it is capable of doing the job, in my opinion. It is good for the money (you would have to spend a lot more to get better), with a good range of lenses across the price range. Just to reiterate, it is not a difficult camera to learn to use, it handles well and produces good photographs.
