Nikon D3300... tomorrow.
Jul 3, 2014 02:57:58 #
Well, I've dabbled in Photography since my High School days in the 1960's. And in digital since the early/mid 1990's. I'm 64 years old.
I kinda like this digital age. If I don't like it I can hit delete and it goes out the back fan in a small green cloud. :hunf:
Some of it gets dropped right after I shoot it. But not all that much, because I have boxes of floppies, and hard drives full of interesting shots, interesting to me.
Oh, and about the title... I've done decided and will be picking up my new D3300 bundle tomorrow morning.
No more point and cuss cameras for me.
It fits where I have an itch. And it has a good beginners Telephoto lens ta boot. If you're curious: http://www.samsclub.com/sams/nikon-d3300-2-lens/prod13130107.ip?navAction=push
I may not live through tomorrow night.
But then again, I just might....
My first photo projects are the humming birds I feed, and the youngest Grand-kids faces in the light of fireworks. :thumbup:

Good for you, happy shooting (should have got a Canon though, oops).
Well now, there's a box of troubles.
:hunf:
I have a song for you...

I probably drive a different car than you do, too. :thumbup:
Happy shooting!
Nice site, BTW. :shock:

Thanks Terry. I'll probably be asking questions at 5FPS through a fish eye lense.

Congratulations. You'll enjoy it. I've got a 3300, among others. It's a good camera. Pay no attention to the boy from 'down under'. Just like he's standing, he's 'upside down' in his thinking. :lol:
You'll be happy with your new camera.

I like the Aussies.
But we have to remember that their toilets spin the wrong way.
Thanks, I think I will enjoy getting a good camera finally.

Thank You all (almost) for the warm wishes.
What is it with New York? Is there an ignore feature with this website? ;^)
I'm already enjoying the D3300. I read the entire manual this evening while doing my volunteer post at church.
For me to actually read any manual completely is a feat in itself, manuals are for reference for me.
One of my SIL's does photography, as well as his eldest daughter (our eldest Grand daughter).
I've always enjoyed and been impressed with their Nikon's pictures.
So I decided, after a bit of research, this is where I wanted to jump in.
Right, wrong, or otherwise, it's likely to be the best camera I will ever have. And likely the last.
I tend to keep things around. I don't grab at brass rings.
Anyway, Thank You for the warm Welcomes and encouragements.

If you don't mind, I'll make a couple of suggestions for your reading pleasure.
1. "Understanding Exposure" (3rd Edition) by Bryan Peterson. He explains the relationship between ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed and how to use them to get the exact exposure you want. It's well written and easy to understand. I have it on my shelf.
2. Get a book for your camera that goes into greater detail than the owner's manual. I prefer Darrell Young's "Mastering the (camera model)", but David Busch puts out a good book and I'm sure there are others.

Welcome to the forum. Good luck with your purchase and have fun being creative. So Many controls on these DSLR's and when I got my D7000, I purchased a third party manual to help me through the features. Not sure if he has one for the D3300, but if so I would highly recommend a David Busch's Field Guide for the Nikon D3300 to help you through the complexities, and you can get them from Amazon for about $20 if I recall correctly. Have fun!
