Hello Mr. Nasim,

Your site is just amazing! Very helpful! I just recently bought one Nikon D90, and also a couple of lenses (Nikon DX 35mm 1.8 G and 70-300mm telephoto VR lens). Would you please recommend some very basic settings of the camera for taking just regular home pictures? Any other advise will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Mr Nasim
Hi
I am in love with your site since I came to know about a couple of weeks. You had been explaining in such a simple manner that even an abnitio like me can understand it easily. I was planning to buy a DSLR and decided almost Nikon D7000. Later going through the reviews on D800 I started to change my mind and thinking of to start the digital photography once for all from a Fx format. I will appreciate if you could spare some time to recommend me the camera either D7000 or D800. In addition, some lenses for a beginer and mainly interested in family functions, portraits, landscape and some natural life close ups. I can complete my bag in stages.
My sincere prayers for you

Good day, I’m surprised and grateful for this blog, congratulations.
I’m sure the comments and information that are on their website, my photo experience will be unforgettable.
2 days ago bought my first camera relex, and although I care for my budget, also I have a chance now to spend a little more if necessary.

Buy a Nikon D3100, plus a 50-200 mm lens.

I will study to dedicate mainly to the photo studio, weddings, birthdays, and perhaps take a taste for landscapes, sports stadiums, and famous cities.

My questions are:

1. D3100 was a good choice to start.
2.lente 50-200 mm is good for the exterior and landscape, sports stadiums, and famous cities.
3.The her blog comment that the 70-300 mm lens is very good. You better change the 50-200 mm lens, or stay with it.
4. Other options can be a d90 and a D5100, I have some days for the return and exchange with the seller. This is necessary if I’m starting to change the D3100?, If so, what do you recommend for studio shot photos of people and landscapes?
5.Quiero buy the lights, backgrounds, and more. What is the basic kit to mount a study I need.

Thanks for your attention, I hope your kind comments.

Hi Nasim,

I’m Anish and i’m pretty new to serious photography eventhough i have used sony cybershoot cameras in auto mode in the past.
I’m an engineer by profession and i have a great passion for phtography. Honestly i dont know how to manipulate the photos using adobe or any other software. What i do normally is frame the picture and shoot. I dont know anything other than this.

But i always gets frustrated by the low light performance of the cybershoot camera and i failed to capture of the wonderful moments in life because of the sluggish camera. So i decided to go for a better camera.

For the last couple of months i was going through various sites inclusind kenrockwell’s to understand photography. Since i dont know much about photography many of the things (such as aperture priority, shutter priority etc) mentioned in those sites gone over my head.

Can you recommend a camera to me. I read a lot about nikon d3100 and nikon d5100. The latter is new to the market and has the better sensor( thats what the reviews say) and i’m NOT really concerned about videography since i wont do it. The nikon d5100 allows metering(I REALLY DONT KNOW HOW TO DO IT BUT I WILL LEARN IT) and HDR( I have seen some photos in flickr and HDR is a great technique i feel)

Which one of those cameras will be easier to learn. The price differrence between d5100 and d3100 is around $125( Rs 6000 in india). Can you please recommend one.

And i always felt sad about the 3x zoom of my cybershoot, i want bit more than 3x zoom i.e. >18-55mm.
Is it wiser option to go for 18-105 rather than 18-55? Please advice

Please let me know your suggestions whether nikon d5100 or nikon d3100 and 18-105 0r nikon 18-55 as the kit lens.

In india the nikon d5100 is chaper compared to than in US the same is applicable for d3100

Thanks in advance. Hope you will reply. Have a great day. God bless
