<p>Good morning Zoltan. Ok here is my piece. I shoot both FX & DX and I only buy FX lenses so I can use them on both cameras without any question. As stated above any given lens say 50mm sees 50mm no matter what camera it is on. It is the sensor that sees the image different between FX & DX do to its size. 50mm on FX is about the same viewed image as a 35mm on DX. As far as prime go's it depends on what works for you. Apereture is very important and can make a huge difference in all types of photos. I shoot both prime and telephoto at sporting events. If you use a larger apereture you need to be sure you are in perfect focus and you can get many great pictures as far as clairity go's. As a rule in fast moving sports, large aperetures and fast shutter speeds are common place. If you look at a Sports Illistrated magazine you will see lots of good pictures that are taken in low light. You just need to try everything you can to see what works for you. Everybody is different in the way they see potograghy so take it all in and practice to find what works for you. I did not switch to digital until a little over a year ago when the D-300 came out and it made a big difference in my usable images. You will enjoy your new D-90. Have fun & shoot often Joe</p>

<p>Hi Errol. This is just from my experience. I do not use Automatic area focus because I don't like the camera deciding what should be in focus. ( to much like a P&S). Dynamic AF is exactly like Single Point AF if the camera is in single servo AF mode BUT when you put the camera in Continuous servo mode the camera will come to life in a good way. If you are shooting still life or Portrait than single point AF is great. If you are shooting fast moving subjects such as a soccer team player than Dynamic AF in continuous servo will hold a speratic moving player in focus better. It will not try to refocus as fast if the subject laeves the center focus point in which case will give you more pictures in focus. If you are very fast and can always keep the subject on the single focus point then that style will work as well. Remember it is different for everyone and what works well for one may not work well for another. Have fun & shoot often Joe</p>

 

<p>Hi Eric, If your camera is only a week old it most likely has the newest firmware. As far as batteries go Enelope batteries hold their charge well if stored but do not last that long when being used. I like 2650mAh Ni-MH batteries by Sunpack. They are super high capacity, charge fast and last a long time in use. If you store them for a long time you will have to charge them before use. Remember there are only so many companies that make batteries and a million brands to choose from. What ever type you get, make sure they are at least 2400mAh or higher and they will work well for you. I have about 20 of them or so and they work well in my flashes as well. Have fun & shoot often.

<p>OK, this is going to sound mooshy but here go's. I started taking pictures seriously in 1996 two years later my first daugter was born. I soon learned that photography was not just taking pictures but capturing a moment that would be gone otherwise. Now my daughter is nine and has her own p&s. I take her with me on shoots like recently at the lake to photograph birds. I watched her capture a shot that she thought was her best ever. The look on her face and how excited she was, was the most thrilling moment I've had in photography. This just proves to me that every time I pick up the camera and look through it I will see something whether big or small that is worth saving.<br>

<p>OK it's Joe again. I am on a very slow dial up connection so I am just now getting the pictures after responding to your question. This is what happens when you live in the middle of nowhere. Buy the looks of it, it is probably a spot of dust. If you move the light to a differant area and reshoot does it show up there to? Joe</p>

<p>Hi Paul. OK A few things to check. If it does this with every lens then it is most likly a spot on the sensor or bad pixils on the screen. To check this you can crop in on the picture looking at the screen on the back of the camera and then move the picture left and right to see if the spot moves with the picture or stays still while the picture moves. If it moves with the picture then it would be something with the sensor, if it stays still then it is pixils on the screen. You can also check this by down loading the picture on to a computer. If it has to do with the sensor, try cleaning it or at least look at it to see if you can see the spot. If it's the screen on the back of the camera you will have to send it in to get it fixed or live with it. There may be other ways to check this so maybe we will both learn something by other replys. <br>

Shoot often & enjoy Joe</p>

<p>Hi everyone. I am getting ready to fly from Stockton, CA to Las Vegas, NV and then back. I want to bring a back pack with a D300, 3 lenses, memory cards, batteries, a charger and some filters and stuff. I will also have a small suitcase with my cloths. Should I expect problems getting on the plane? Will it hurt the camera or memory cards to put them through the xray or should I ask for it to be hand inspected?<br>

Thank you Joe</p>

<p>Hi Edmund. I just recently photographed a party and I used my Nikon 50mm f 1.4D. It is a very sharp lens and works well in very low light situations. If I had access to a 30 or35mm say f1.4-f2.0 it would come in handy for tight areas or up close wide angle. I use a D300 or an F100 if I am using film. Have fun and shoot often. Joe</p>

<p>Hi. Yes it is very important to follow the instruction exactly as it says. In order to correct this problem the camera will have to go back to Nikon. they will reprogram it with the newest firmware updates and you will be good to go. Joe</p>
