What exposure speed settings did you use? I LOVE the color/light vib. Very nice. I want to try it now.

Well I think I have the proper solution. After reading some of your great responses I think it would be best to learn my D3200 inside and out, while at the same time sharpening my new era DSLR skills. I have found there to be a few differences mostly in how the camera works and also learning to trust the technology. I remember doing crazy things like backing ISO 100 slide film out of my only camera to put ISO 400 B/W in for the football game after school. You had to be able to do this without a dark room, while riding on the team bus. Oh yeah and not expose a single frame of the slide film because it had shots on it already. Then write the number of shots exposed on the can so you would not forget when you reloaded it....hahaha... I digress.

Thanks for all the nice tips.

Yes, I should have figured this one out first. This isn't my first time in photography and I know what I like in a camera. But the D3200 will make a nice back up.

I'm just getting back into the photography game (Check out my Introduction). 3 months I purchased the Nikon D3200 kit. Camera body w/ bat and charger as well as 18-55 and 55-200. I have found this a nice start but I think I want a D610. Can anybody tell me what to look for in so far as picture quality goes between the two cams? Also, I'm selling the two kit lenses because I now use the Tameron 18-200mm F3.5-5.6 and the Tameron 75-300mm. But I think they both are DX. Will they be a big impact on the full frame D610? Or should I just purchase all new FX lenses?

Hi, my name is Lee Henderson. I am a 56 year old returning photo buff. I started taking photos when I was 10, using a cam my grandparents gave me. My uncle was a professional photographer with the local papers as well as one of the personal photographers for the Black Panther party. I say this because in my garage I have his collection of party photos, negatives and slides that I am now preparing to scan and digitize.

Needless to say I shot for my high school paper and yearbook with a Nikon my Uncle gave me as a kid. I returned to my fav hobby in the mid 1980's. Purchased a Nikon N2020 with two zoom lenses. This setup took me from Taiwan to Paris to NYC. For the last 15 years I've done very little shooting (point and shoot stuff).

My daughter decided at an early age to become a photographer. She graduated from SF State with a BA in Photographic Art. She has her own studio as well as a professional business. (She uses Canon, so much for the blood lines....lol).

Now I've purchased a new Nikon D3200 and much more. I'M BAAAACK!
