Photography: From Nikon D3100 to Nikon D90


About 6 months ago, I decided to replace my compact Nikon D3100 with an old classy Nikon D90. It was just a second-hand D90 body as Nikon has already stopped manufacturing it when it was replaced by a newer model of D7000 in 2010.

Nikon D90 was first announced in August 2008, but it could still be considered as an elegant and affordable mid-size DSLR camera when compared with the compact and newer D3100 or the more expensive mid-size D7000. Though I like my D3100 very much (it was my first DSLR camera), the main reason I chose D90, other than its affordable price, is because it is equipped with built-in auto-focus (AF) motor that my D3100 doesn't have. It means I can use any non-AF lens with my D90, which is obviously much cheaper than AF lenses. Wait for my next posts to see some pictures captured by the D90.
