<p>Hi Frank, the D90 is a great camera and the battery life is great as well, i sold my D80 because the metering was so unpredictable kept overexposing and blowing highlights, the D200 sucks batteries like crazy,unless you use the extra grip,i couldn't get more than 250 shots out of the batteries,and two of my friends have the same problem. Bob Krist, who shoots travel photography for numerous magazines uses the D90 all the time. Check out his website. Also here in Canada the D90 just dropped $ 100 this week.</p>

<p>Try Pawleys island or murrels inlet early in the morning,if you get to the beach in the morning before the crowds and for the sunrise the sea oats on the beaches make for nice backdrops. I'm going in july so i will post some pics when i get back</p>
