When I was 11, (1957) my grandmother gave me a Brownie Holiday Flash Camera.
I learned a lot about taking "Snapshots" with this camera.
When I was 15 (1961) my Stepdad bought me an Argus C3 at a Pawn shop in Omaha. He said it was almost a Leica!
That was a lot more fun to use and I started processing my B/W film and making "Contact Sheets".
I bought myself a Practica 35mm SLR just as I was going into the Air Force in 1967 - I was 21 & Viet Nam was a worry for all the guys my age!
I shot and processed thousands of Ectachrome slides with this camera over the next several years.
In 1981 I bought my last 35mm SLR - a Minolta X 700. It sure was quiet compared to the Praktica! But at the same time I got a lot more interested in Video and almost completly stopped shooting still photography.
In the summer of 2000 I bought my first Digital still camera. It sounded good in the brochure but it was frustratingly slow from button push to click!. I missed so many great shots: a blink or a bird flew away, etc.
In 2004 I bought my 1st Nikon. A D100 with a Tamron 28-200 lens that served me well for about 3 years. It was a huge improvement over the Fuji!
In 2007 I upgraded to the D200, with a Tamron 28-300 lens, mostly to gain more Mega-Pixels and 100mm more Telephoto.
Not long after that, a friend let me shoot her new D300 with a Nikon 28-200VR lens and I had to have that setup. It is a great camera and I use it often!
I am convinced that Nikon makes great cameras but they also make truely amazing lenses!
