Always had an interest in photography just never taken it seriously. Bought a Nikon D90 at the beginning of 2010 and have been hooked since. My cousin had his eye on the D90 from the start though and since Sept 10 he has had more than his eye on it ! Because I was then 'sans camera' I had to get a replacement. Initially got a 7d but it had a fault and I wasn't impressed with the build quality, so went for a d300s (thought about the 7000 but was stuck on the ergonomics of the 300s). The 300s lasted until Oct 13 - went initially for a 7100 but just couldn't live with the long exposure banding and noise it seemed to generate. After much toing and froing landed on a second hand D700, so it's full frame all the way now I suspect !
