I like this one the best. I did a similar shot a couple of years ago with a Scion logo on my snowboard. I'm going to try to look for it now. ha

Thanks, he's mixed but the most dominant traits are from the father which is pure Pomeranean.

I got a quick question, anyone that's familiar with the Nikon D90 please chime in (I don't mean to threadjack )... I finally have enough money to buy myself a new camera... I have my eye on the Nikon D90 with a 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED AF-S VR DX Nikkor Zoom Lens. I found this one on Amazon -> http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-D90-Digi...948591&sr=1-26 I was wondering if it's worth the $1,149 that they're asking for it... If so, I'm going to order it today... If anyone is using this camera, please list any pros/cons that you have...

just got a D90 yesterday. it is a VERY nice camera. i am in love with it already and haven't even got a chance to study all the interface yet. coming from the D40, the D90 is a nice change. finally have more buttons to change settings unlike the D40 which you pretty much had to enter the menus to do anything.

i do know this about the D90... DO NOT BUY IT WITH THE KIT LENS. that 18-105 is total garbage. for what it costs, it is about the worst lens choice you could buy. buy the body and get lenses separately elsewhere.

Also, search around for a good deal. I just bought a body used in literally MINT condition with 2 years 8 months of accidental damage warranty for $850 shipped.

Why is the kit lens so bad?...

I guess a better question would be, what lens would you recommend in a similar price range with zoom and a decent f/?

in that same price range you could score an 18-55mm and 55-200mm. seriously, just throw out the 18-105 from even being an option for you. everywhere i read and the few people i've talked to about it say the lens is really distorted and NOT very clear in the lower range. i never even tried it out to see just because of all the instant negative feedback about it.

most of nikon's kit lenses are decent. just not the 18-105. the 18-55 and 55-200VR are both great for what they cost.

I just ordered the Nikon D90 with a Kingston 8GB SDHC card (20MB/s)... I did wind up getting the kit, but I'll be buying more lenses soon anyways... I dunno, I seen some really nice pictures with the kit lens, I'm no pro by any means (my first DSLR actually) either way it's a huge step up from my 10 year old Canon Point & Shoot I'll use this kit lens for a while, and if in fact it really does suck I'll sell the 18-105mm and get something else. I got 2 day shipping, so it should be here on Wed. Can't wait!
