History (starts from 2006...):

My first Camera was a Canon S2 IS (5 MP). I like Canon(low noise at higher ISO) 350D, 400D but after using the Nikon D70s(D200 is great, but costly), i fell in love with it for its look, feel and ease of usability. I sold my Canon S2 IS and picked up a new D70s(D80 was available at the time of purchase, but still love D70s for its 1/500 Flash sync and 1/8000s shutter speed).

My kit:

Camera Body: Nikon D70s

A very old camera for the current time. But who cares. Its a real work-horse camera that proves its ability for all my needs. 6MP 3008 x 2000 [L] is less to todays standards but i sometimes shoot at 'Medium' which is 2240 x 1488 [3.2MP approx.] which is good enough for me. But i think the time is nearing(may be a year) to go for a new DSLR and put this cam as a secondary body always loaded with a common zoom lens like 17-50mm f/2.8. Planning for a D90. I concentrate more on landscapes, macro and portraits. I will be happy with D300(s) for macro and portraits, but will be longing for a fullframe 'D3(s)' for magnificiant landscapes....

Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF-D Aiming at Nikon 50mm 1.4 i gave up this lens. For low light i use my Nikon 85mm F/1.8 now. 50mm 1.8 is a very good lens for its price.
