I finally got my DSLR. I being trying to get one for awhile and every time I had the money something happens. Thanks to a group of my closest friends and my fiance, BAM! I got my DSLR. I did a lot of research and I was stuck between Nikon D5000 and Canon Rebel T1i. I ended getting the Nikon because it was cheaper(tough time people) and even though the Nikon had 12.5mp less then the canon which has 15.5mp, the sensor was bigger in the Nikon and it felt better in my hands. I have played and shoot with the camera for a whole day and half and the battery life is still only half way. The picture are amazing and hopefully I will up grade from the kit lens to a better one to open the D5000 potential. Well people, I will start posting new photos and I hope you enjoy them as I'm enjoying taking them with my DSLR!
