Very Good For First Time DSLR User

(Brett G. - 5/4/09)

I like the fact that I can use most any lens from Nikon. I borrowed my dads lenses from the late 70's and they worked very well. The drawback is no autofocus and metering doesnt work. But thats the fun of the camera playing around with the features.

There is a lot of material out there teaching advanced functions on this camera. and for under 500 bucks with lens its a no brainer. www.dpreview.com is a great place to research
