After a while, you get used to settings, user interface, location of buttons, and you get much more familiar with available equipment. Once you make the step and start acquiring more [[lenses]] or even [[cameras]], moving to a new system becomes more difficult. Especially since most of the manufacturers all make excellent equipment, so such moves between manufacturers is only rarely motivated by technical arguments.

'''12 [[Megapixel]] [[APS-C]]'''<br>
My first Nikon DSLR. It was a complete coincidence that I ended up buying this camera. I was using smaller compact cameras and wanted to try my hand in something better. It came with a kit [[Nikon 18-105]] lens. I still use this camera, in fact a good portion of my pictures on the [https://twitter.com/pulp_platform PULP Platform twitter page] are made with it. The shutter count is over 60'000.  


I loved this camera so much that I bought a second one used for 120 as part of preparing these pages. This second D90 is in great shape.

I do not own this camera, but I have access to it at my workplace. Very robust camera. The shutter count is not even 10'000 although it is more than 10 years old. This is a typical use if the owner is not taking it around al the time, and perhaps 5% of the lifetime of such a camera.

For this project when I was looking for a [[New or used|used]] camera to buy, I had a hard time not buying another one. They can be had for as little as 250 a great value.

Actually my least favorite camera, it is still excellent, but out of all the cameras I used, this is the one I am not so fond of. I bought this at a great discount new when its successor came out. I was a bit naive. I was convinced that having 2x more pixels than my D90, this camera would be 2x better. In almost every technical aspect the D7100 is a better camera, at least on paper (you can find many www sites that will convince you). In practice, I learned that the technical details do not matter so much, and subjectively, I had a better time with my D90.

I ended up going to Chile for 3 weeks, and used the D90 and D7100 at the same time. I had 50cm x 25cm prints of pictures from the trip, and no one can tell which camera I used for which picture.

I actually only recently bought this camera [[New or used|used]] as part of preparing these pages. There were many D700s available, but I wanted something else, and I ended up buying this one for about 450. Excellent value for such a good camera.

I loved my D750. It was stolen with my bag on a train in 2019 (with an older [[Nikon 105]] [[macro]] mounted). This was my first [[full-frame]] camera and was clearly a step above the D7100 which in theory has the same number of pixels. Of course the camera is more than the number of pixels (see also D90 vs D7100), and another step where I learned that the cameras I use are way above my level.

After my D750 was stolen I wanted to buy another [[full frame]] camera but did not want to buy the same camera twice. After about a year of going back and forth, I ended up buying this camera. This camera is too good to be true, and way too good for me. Technically it let's me get away with things I shouldn't. I love it, and I was fortunate enough to be to [[What is your budget|afford it]], but to be honest it is unnecessarily good.

Nikon is one of the main manufacturers of Cameras and Lenses.

I am more familiar with Nikon

My first serious camera ended up being a Nikon D90, I would say more out of coincidence than conscious choice. Unless you are really annoyed by the company, there is a good chance that you will stay with the initial manufacturer you have chosen. At least that is what happened with me. Again coincidentally, at my work place they also had Nikon equipment.

After a while, you get used to settings, user interface, location of buttons, and you get much more familiar with available equipment. Once you make the step and start acquiring more lenses or even cameras, moving to a new system becomes more difficult. Especially since most of the manufacturers all make excellent equipment, so such moves between manufacturers is only rarely motivated by technical arguments.

These pages are for Amateur Photographers and not really for seasoned photographers and professionals. I have no affiliation or commercial interest with any brand/make. I write from my own experience. I ended up using mainly Nikon, so I am more familiar with this brand than others. See price for notes on pricing as well as photography related links.
