I borrowed my father’s Nikon D80 for a few days to play with… And until now, I must say I’m quite impressed with the beast!!! I was used to my small Sony DSC-W5: a compact model which can’t physically perform like a DSLR type camera.

I find terribly amazing the possibility to play with the aperture, the manual focus and other features which are really missing on compact models and which allow you for example to get a fuzzy background. Moreover, my father is using a 18-200 lens which features a wide angle as well as a huge zoom…but this king of lens is lengthy though. Here are some pictures I took so far:

Now I’m really tempted to get one myself… the question is: the D40x or the new D60?
